The Evaluation of Scholarly Activity in Computer-Assisted Language Learning

MODERN LANGUAGE JOURNAL, Issue 2009
BRYAN SMITH
The current study provides guidance for both junior computer-assisted language learning (CALL) researchers as they decide on the most appropriate forms and placement of scholarly activity and also for decision makers attempting to evaluate the scholarly activity of these CALL researchers in their quest for promotion and tenure. In this study, data from 35 online surveys from established CALL researchers were examined to determine their expert opinions on the quality of CALL-specific and general applied linguistics journals. These scholars were also asked to list the criteria they used to rank these journals and comment on the types of scholarly activity most beneficial to junior CALL scholars. Results suggest that the single most important element in the scholarly dossier of a CALL researcher is a series of refereed scholarly articles in highly ranked, peer-reviewed journals. A clear qualitative hierarchy of both CALL-specific and general applied linguistics journals emerged from the data. The data also show that scholars agree that the "best" journals for CALL research are those that reflect the highest quality of relevant articles and those that make a significant contribution to the field. Markedly less important to these CALL experts in determining journal quality are those more "objective" measures of quality such as acceptance rate, impact factor, and circulation. [source]

Rankings of Australian Economics Departments, 1988,2000

THE ECONOMIC RECORD, Issue 241 2002
Dipendra Sinha
This paper provides new rankings for Australian university economics departments for the periods 1988,2000, 1988,1994 and 1994,2000 using the ECONLIT database. We rank economics departments using two different journal ranking criteria - one based on citations and the other based on perceptions of journal quality. In addition, we provide updates on the rankings using the Towe and Wright (1995) methodology. We find that the perception-based rankings are quite different from the citation-based rankings.

The Game Academics Play: Comment

BULLETIN OF ECONOMIC RESEARCH, Issue 1 2006
Rajeev K. Goel
A19; C79; L19 Abstract A recent paper by Faria (Bulletin of Economic Research, 57 (2005), pp. 1,12) deals with the interplay between editors and authors. This research is a welcome addition to the literature on formal analyses of academic markets. This note points out a potential discrepancy in Faria's derivation of the equilibrium journal quality and clarifies the conditions under which journal quality responds to changes in editor's impatience and in author's impatience. Specifically, the effect of a change in author's impatience on journal quality is shown to be not unambiguous. Some implications of these findings are discussed. [source]
