Author Affiliation Index: Response To Ferratt Et Al.

Ferratt, Gorman, Kanet and Salisbury present a new way to rank journals based on the degree to which authors affiliated with high-ranking institutions publish in those journals. We respond to their work by offering another perspective on ranking journals in the IS field. By using institutional journal lists, we present rankings that portray the way IS journal standing is actually applied to inform academic decisions involving faculty and administrative evaluation.
