Top 5 journals in Politics and in IR

Zane

Like in Economics, most high ranked schools now look for publications in top 5 outlets. Here is my take on the list (tenured associate in R1)
Order does not matter

Politics:
APSR
AJPS
JOP
BJPS
CPS

IR:
IO
IS
ISQ
WP
JCR

I approve of this list because I've publish in four of these journals.

CPS shouldn't fit that list because it's not a generalista journal.

But the other possibilities are laughable. PRQ? PSRM? Pol Behaviour? QJPS? Pol Studies? Journal of Pol Marketing? SSQ?

I would add Political Analysis instead of CPS. It's cutting across more subfields than CPS and has a higher impact factor.

For generalist journals, I'd rank them as such:

APSR
AJPS
JOP
BJPS
QJPS

^Oh, except, I'd put AJPS in the top spot.

While CPS is not a generalist journal it should be up in this top-10 somewhere.

For being a "top hit", JCR is a pretty niche outlet. Do they publish anything outside quant security?

Never read anything in JCR.

-not a quant security person.

QJPS hs a very narrow audience
CPS has a much wider audience and they have similar acceptance rate.

Maybe PA is on par with CPS

For generalist journals, I'd rank them as such:
APSR
AJPS
JOP
BJPS
QJPS

Its crazy to claim that the quality of cps is on par with qjps.

There is no agreed-upon top 5. Each subfield has a top 3 that is made up of APSR, AJPS, and one other one (JOP, PA, IO). In comparative people will bicker over CPS or WP, but that’s the only way of making a hierarchy that generally makes sense to everyone.

lol you're cute if you think that IR as a subfield has a top-3 composed of APSR, AJPS, and IO.

My mistake, the IR top 3 is IO, IS, ISQ, ISR, FPA, JPR, JCR, II, CMPS, RIO, SS, IT, WP, EJIR, JIRD, IA, and I guess FA or FP if you’re into that kind of thing.

JCR isn't fit to be toilet paper in my department.

-Full prof at regional university in the south with a 5-5 teaching load.

Finally a good statement! But you missed RIS.
