How to publish in this journal

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Evolution of the number of documents cited by public policy documents according to Overton database.

Evoution of the number of documents related to Sustainable Development Goals defined by United Nations. Available from 2018 onwards.

Which higher education journals have the highest “prestige”?

– Please tell us about any important factors influencing your decision to submit to the journal: – Specifically, it is indexed as a 1st quartile journal in the relevant field in Scopus. This factor is paramount.

As Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management , I like to know why authors choose to submit research to our journal. The journal publisher, Taylor and Francis, surveys authors and reports results to me and Associate Editor, Carroll Graham; the above quote came from the most recent report. Had our journal not been in the top quartile of all Scopus journals in Education (Q1), based on Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) “average prestige per article”, we would have never received this author’s submission. So why would an author restrict themselves to Q1 journals and what other Q1 options are there for “higher education” research?

Why publish in Q1 journals?

Research careers generally depend on having one’s research read, and preferably cited, by others. It feeds into one’s H-index , a crude metric for quickly determining how highly cited one’s research is, which can be readily compared and ranked against other researchers. High H-indices provide an edge in job applications, research funding and promotions. Publishing in widely read, high impact journals increases the likelihood of higher citations for one’s papers. While many journals publish research on higher education, there are relatively few higher education specific journals.

The Q1 journals in higher education

To explore the relative impact/prestige rankings of higher education journals, I ran a quick search on SJR and Tweeted the results for the top-20 journals with “higher education” or “tertiary education” in their title. The top-20 contains a mix of the familiar broad journals with primarily international audiences ( Higher Education , Studies in Higher Education ) and USA-focused audiences ( Journal of Higher Education , Research in Higher Education ), as well as specialised journals ( Internet and Higher Education , Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education ). While the rankings tell us something about the state of higher education research, more relevant and thorough analyses have been conducted by Malcolm Tight (see here , here and here ). The full results for all 37 higher education journals are at the bottom of this post.

Why impact and relevance matter to editors

Journal editors also want published research to be downloaded, read and cited. It indicates whether the journal is influencing the research community and is a proxy for prestige. Increasing the prestige of a journal helps editors when negotiating with journal owners (in our case the Association for Tertiary Education Management and the LH Martin Institute ) for additional resources to manage the ever-increasing number of submissions.

While I am proud to edit a journal that has high “average prestige per article”, increasing the journal’s ranking is not our highest priority. We aim to publish high quality and practically relevant research for the higher education management and policy community. The SJR probably correlates with quality and relevance for the research community, but I am doubtful there is a strong correlation with what is read by policy and management practitioners. That is not to say that top-ranked journals do not influence policy – practitioners do read articles in these journals – but it is unlikely that the same articles which are highly cited by researchers and contribute to SJR are those that are sought out by practitioners.

Our editorial decisions today will likely have an impact some time in 2022 onwards in SJR, and while it would be great if some of these articles were highly cited in future, our primary aim is to inform policy and practice through publishing research that is relevant to this audience. This is indicative of our journal’s previous Best Article award winners and runners up, articles which all addressed highly relevant and contemporary challenges to universities. Occasionally this also means we desk-reject high quality papers, some of which are later published in even more “prestigious” journals than ours.

Final reflections

When I was employed as an academic researcher, I didn’t have much knowledge of journal indicators and certainly not SJR. My supervisors usually suggested a suitable journal for my (or our) research and I followed this advice. This is probably still the best source of advice for most junior researchers, but for those who may not have that support, simply looking at the journals one cites is a very strong indicator of which journals (and editors) the paper may be of interest.

One Reply to “Which higher education journals have the highest “prestige”?”

I found this list of journals very helpful. Still, I’m puzzled by the absence of the Canadian Journal of Higher Education. It the only such journal in the country.

The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times its articles are cited.

The impact factor was devised by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) in Philadelphia. Impact factors began to be calculated yearly starting from 1975 for journals listed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). ISI was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992, and became known as Thomson ISI. In 2018, Thomson-Reuters spun off and sold ISI to Onex Corporation and Baring Private Equity Asia. They founded a new corporation, Clarivate , which is now the publisher of the JCR.

Journal Publication Time

The publication time may vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the research and the current workload of the editorial team. Journals typically request reviewers to submit their reviews within 3-4 weeks. However, some journals lack mechanisms to enforce this deadline, making it difficult to predict the duration of the peer review process.

The review time also depends upon the quality of the research paper.
