Ranking Scholarly Publishers in Public Administration
Journal of Public Affairs Education, v30 n3 p450-470 2024
Public administration has dedicated much discussion to the ranking of academic journals, but little to no research focused on the quality and contributions of publishing academic books. To address this gap in the literature, we surveyed public administration scholars who have published books. We used the data from this survey to establish a scholarly ranking of book publishers in the field. The findings of the survey show public administration scholars prefer commercial over academic presses when publishing their books. This could be due to the authors' decisions, the publishers seeking and supporting research in public administration, or, most likely, a combination of both.
