This book, first published in 2002, gathers some of America's top
subject expert librarians to determine the most influential
journals in their respective fields. 32 contributing authors
reviewed journals from over twenty countries that have successfully
shaped the evolution of their individual specialties worldwide.
Their choices reflect the history of each discipline or profession,
taking into account rivalries between universities, professional
societies, for-profit and not-for-profit publishers, and even
nation-states and international ideologies, in each journal's quest
for reputational dominance. Each journal was judged using criteria
such as longevity of publication, foresight in carving out its
niche, ability to attract & sustain professional or academic
affiliations, opinion leadership or agenda-setting power, and
ongoing criticality to the study or practice of their field. The
book presents wholly independent reviewers; none are in the employ
of any publisher, but each is fully credentialed and well
published, and many are award-winners. The authors guide college
and professional school librarians on limited budgets via an
exposition of their analytical and critical winnowing process in
determining the classic resources for their faculty, students, and
working professional clientele.
