Subject: Re: [tips] Tier or Prestige of Journals
A search on 'impact factor' and a journal name or discipline will get you
there. Also, acceptance rates of journals can be found. Depending on your
perspective, either can be considered measures of prestige of a journal.

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a tier or hierarchy of journals in Psychology?
For example, are there some journals that are rated as better or more
prestigious than others? I am pretty sure there are, but does anyone know what
that tier is or where it is located?
Thank you,
Nina
