Abstract
In his book Academic Tribes and Territories, Tony Becher describes how one of the continuing features of academic life is that almost everything is graded in more or less subtle ways. Scholars are ready to designate the leading journals in their discipline, they list institutions and departments in order of intellectual achievements and they rank implicitly and explicitly individual scholars (an outstanding researcher’, a student with the ‘first class mind’ and, often by implication or omission, those who are not so good) (Becher, 1989, pp. 56–7).KeywordsPolitical ScienceAmerican Political Science ReviewGlobal RankingEuropean PoliticalAmerican Political Science AssociationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
