thank you for this very informative post! best dominik Am 12.02.2009, 16:09 Uhr, schrieb Tim Stephen <stephen@albany.edu>:

A colleague forwarded a portion of a thread of a recent air-l discussion regarding frequency of Internet-related publication in journals of the communication discipline. I'm just hopping on air-l long enough to send this along as I thought possibly the numbers below might be relevant in the context of this issue. Apologies if they're off point. The table that follows is a list of the number of papers each communication journal has ever published that were coded with keywords "cmc" or "web", or "internet" for 29 of the 100+ communication journals covered in ComAbstracts. This 29 journal subset was selected because these happened to strike me yesterday morning as having greater face-relevance to the question of which outlets are handling the greater flow of Internet-related research papers in the communication field.

The number in parentheses following the journal name is the prestige rank of each journal (lower number, higher prestige) based on the correlation between communication doctoral program faculty's accumulated record of publication in each journal and the program's accumulated prestige/reputation rankings summed across the nine areas covered in the 2004 NCA study of doctoral program reputation. Journals without rankings had summed correlations at or below zero with perceptions of doctoral program prestige/reputation.

Data are from ComAbstracts, ComVista, and ComAnalytics (http://www.cios.org/www/abstract.htm)
