Abstract

Thomas Vocino and Robert H. Elliott This article examines journal prestige in the field of public administration, using data from three surveys, in 1975, 1978, and 1981, of the membership of the American Society for Public Administration. Two dimensions of intensity and extensity were analyzed. 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 indicate that the top-rated journals maintained their positions overtime. The surveys also revealed differences between academics and practitioners in their perceptions of public administration and related journals.
