Consultation to develop outlet journal rankings
The consultation to develop outlet journal rankings has closed. The ARC is currently processing the data received. Thank you to all who contributed to this process.
The ARC will consult about discipline-specific ranked conferences, publishers’ lists and other outlets with the relevant disciplines at a later time.
Phase 1 consultation – Ranking journal list development and initial review
In late 2007 the four Learned Academies and a number of discipline peak bodies undertook a journal ranking exercise to develop draft journal rankings for their relevant disciplines. The lists have been reviewed by the ARC, in consultation with the Academies and the other list providers, to remove duplication and inconsistencies.
The ARC has also updated RFCD codes to the new FoR codes to reflect the recently released ANZSRC.
The ARC would like to thank everyone involved in developing the draft lists for Phase 1 of the Research Outlet Rankings.

Phase 2 consultation – Review and feedback from researchers in the sector
In this phase of the consultation the ARC sought feedback on the draft journal rankings. Specific feedback was requested about the appropriateness of the journal’s quality ranking and the FoR code(s) assigned to it.
Duplicate journals and special cases
We have highlighted all journals assigned to multiple FoRs. These journals have been highlighted in blue in the ranking list.
In a few instances, a journal was not considered during Phase 1 of the consultation. Those journals have been highlighted in purple in the ranking list.
