LIS journal prestige as assessed by LIS faculty

In a 2013 article by Laura Manzari, 232 LIS faculty members from ALA-accredited information science programs ranked the most prestigious journals in library and information science. ^[3] The following journals were ranked in the top ten most prestigious:

• Annual Review of Information Science and Technology
• Journal of Documentation
• Library Trends
• Library and Information Science Research
• Information Processing and Management
