Alumni and Friends: La Follette Notes Fall 2006
Journals edited by La Follette faculty highly ranked
Two journals edited by La Follette School of Public Affairs faculty are the two top-ranked journals in public policy and administration, while a third is highly ranked for economics.
The Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, edited by Carolyn Heinrich, ranked No. 1 in terms of citation impact in 2005 in the field of public administration.
Governance, co-edited by Graham Wilson, ranked No. 2.
The Journal of International Economics, co-edited by Charles Engel, ranked first in international economics and 17th among all economics journals regardless of field.
"Having three top-ranked journals affiliated with a single school of public affairs is very unusual," says school director Barbara Wolfe. "We're very pleased that these journals call the La Follette School home."
The ranking places JPART at the top of 26 journals in the field of public policy and administration. A citation impact rating system measures the number of times authors cited articles from the journal within the past two years. Citations of published research are key indicators of the influence of scholarly work.
