Abstract

This article compares journal prestige in 1975 and 1978 in the field of public administration. Information from two surveys of the membership of the American Society for Public Administration formed the data base for the study. Two dimensions of the concept of prestige have been analyzed: intensity and extensity. The intensity rating measured the strength of feeling toward a particular journal, while the extensity rating measured the breadth of recognition for a journal. The results of these surveys revealed differences between academic and practitioner perceptions of public administration and related journals which may indicate some trends for the field.
