<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I’ve been coordinating an
examination of these ranking lists for the French Discipline with colleagues in
French programs across Australia in order to (try to) have a consolidated
approach across the sector. To this end, I’ve used email distribution lists
such as this as well as a Facebook group to gather feedback. Since many people
in French Studies also publish in many of the more generalist cultural studies
journals in existence, we’ve looked at many of these areas too and I
paste below a summary of some of our findings in the hope that it might save
some of this work being carried out multiple times and that you may like to
feed some of this information into your institutions’ submissions as
well. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>A couple of general points: </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>1. Absolutely right on film studies
journals. I think in fact that if you search the excel file for journals with
‘film’ ‘screen’ or ‘cinema’ in the title,
with the exception of East-West Film journal, Cinemaya and the Journal of
Popular Film and Television which have B rankings (and I have to confess to not
knowing the first two at all) all other journals in this area with these words
in their title are ranked C. I have alerted Graeme Turner to this who assures
me that Film scholars are aware of this and endeavouring to do something about
it. It may well be sensible to act within the CS community also however. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>2. The comments on this list about the low
ranking of local journals seems to counter the findings in some other
discipline areas in which local journals seems oftentimes to have been ranked
somewhat too generously. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>3. As any who read Profs Malpas and
Brennan’s excellent piece in the Higher Ed supplement last Wednesday will
realise, this exercise is particularly problematic for anyone wishing to
publish in non-English language journals so please be alert to this if this
applies to you. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>4. No one seems to have pointed out the
fact that there is an inherent problem in the two methods being used to draw up
this list in that it applies both a criteria-based methodology for defining
what constitutes a quality journal (and pretty much EVERYTHING I read I reckon
would qualify as a B according to those criteria) and a bell curve using
percentiles according to which 50% of all journals will be ranked C. I always
thought that if one used criteria-based assessment this necessarily discounted
the possibility of the application of any bell curve to results since as long
as one obeyed the criteria, one necessarily fell into a certain category. I
fail to see how this is different. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Dear Jon
and all<br>
<br>
Thanks for raising this, Jon.<br>
<br>
In fact, the ARC press release of 12 June indicates that institutions have
until 24 July to respond to the draft list. (See below). Institutions will
probably have closing dates for internal submissions that are a week or two
before this date -- so this is a job for the coming week!<br>
<br>
Sadly, both Cultural Studies journals and Communications journals appear to
have suffered as a result of not being clearly aligned with either a Humanities
or a Social Sciences focus. In addition to the list of B graded journals in your
post can be added the internationally-recognised Australian Journal of
Communication (which the Australian Business Deans' Council graded as A), and
M/C: A Journal of Media and Culture. The only Australian journal in our field
to be recognised as higher than B appears to be Media International Australia
(A*). <br>
<br>
I agree with Jon that this is a matter that should be raised urgently with our
University research co-ordinators since it would be inappropriate to categorise
all Australian journals in Media, Communications and Cultural Studies (apart
from MIA) as publishing "only a few papers of very high quality".<br>
<br>
Further, this discussion and the fact that we had little notice of the outcomes
prior to the 12 June indicates that we should work towards a national forum of
Humanities and Arts Deans so that we could have had input into the national
discussions equivalent to that enjoyed by the Business Deans. (They have a
national meeting twice a year to impact upon policy affecting their discipline
areas.)<br>
<br>
Thanks again<br>

ARC seeks sector's views on journal rankings for ERA initiative<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Australian Research Council (ARC) has today launched a consultation period
on a draft journal rankings list, one of the indicators that will be used on a
discipline-specific basis to evaluate research as part of the Excellence in
Research for Australia (ERA) initiative.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Research outlets are ranked into four tiers (A*, A, B and C) on the basis of
the overall quality that each has for a particular discipline.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
ARC Chief Executive Officer, Professor Margaret Sheil said that this is the
second phase on the journal rankings. In late 2007, the four <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Learned</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Academies</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and a number of peak bodies,
undertook the initial journal ranking exercise to develop this draft for their
relevant disciplines. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"More than 19,000 unique peer reviewed journals have been identified to
form the draft list of ranked journals.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"It is worth noting that journals of Australian origin are well
represented in the top tiers of the draft rankings.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"This is an important process to ensure that the higher education and
research sectors will have confidence in the rankings that will be used as part
of the ERA initiative," Professor Sheil said.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Submissions will close on Thursday 24 July, 2008. More information is
available from the ARC website: <a
href="http://www.arc.gov.au/era/indicators.htm">http://www.arc.gov.au/era/indicators.htm</a>

<br>
<br>
<br>
The ARC will release the final journal ranking list once all submissions have
been considered.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi Everybody,<br>
If you haven't already, may I please suggest
that you look at the journal rankings that are planned to be used for the
federal government's Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) exercise.
The list of journals and the rankings can be found at: <a
href="http://www.arc.gov.au/xls/ERA_Journal_Ranking_Flatfile.xls">http://www.arc.gov.au/xls/ERA_Journal_Ranking_Flatfile.xls</a>
<<a
href="https://email.curtin.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.arc.gov.au/xls/ERA_Journal_Ranking_Flatfile.xls">https://email.curtin.edu.au/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.arc.gov.au/xls/ERA_Journal_Ranking_Flatfile.xls</a>>
. There are four categories, A*, A, B. C. C is therefore the lowest
ranking. You might particularly want to note that Continuum, which is the
only international cultural studies journal based in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>, and is the CSAA-linked
journal, has a B ranking. This places it well down in importance and
means that articles published in it will not be regarded by the ERA exercise as
being of as much worth as compared to if the journal are ranked at A* or A.<br>
Journal of Intercultural Studies is also
ranked as a B, as are Social Identities, and Borderlands. Third Text is a
C as is New Formations. As a generalisation, it seems to me that journals
based in the <st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region> or <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Britain</st1:place></st1:country-region>, and
journals which tend towards publishing less innovative and less controversial
(and this includes political) articles, tend to be given the higher
rankings. <br>
At present submissions are being taken for additions
to the journal list and for changes in ranking. All submissions have to
be sent through universities. If you have not been contacted by the
R&D area of your university may I suggest that you contact them, find out
how to register a submission in your university and do so. The closing
date for submissions is towards the end of July.<br>
thanks for your time,<br>
Jon <br>
