Best Psychology Journals

Each journal’s position in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com. This score is calculated based on the estimated h-index of the journal as well as the number of prominent scientists who have endorsed the journal over the past three years. This dual-criteria approach ensures a balanced assessment of both the scientific impact and community recognition of each journal.

The Impact Score values presented here were compiled as of 2024-11-27, providing the latest insights into journal performance and scholarly influence. The construction of this ranking entailed an exhaustive review process, wherein more than 1,348 Psychology journals were initially considered. Our expert team conducted a thorough evaluation of over 231,352 scientific documents published in the past three years, authored by 26,279 distinguished scientists recognized for their expertise in Psychology.
