The journal rankings for physics appear to be bogus.
1. Rev Mod Phys
2. Mat Sci Eng R
3. Annu Rev Phys Chem
4. Phys Rep
5. Rep Prog Phys
6. Nano Lett
7. Prog Polym Sci
8. Adv Mater
9. Phys Rev Lett
10. Adv Polym Sci
Most agree that the top journals are:
1. Nature
2. Science
3. Nature Physics
4. Phys. Rev. Lett.
5. ...
rev. mod. phys is a journal of review articles
- michael_nielsen 17y ago"Most agree": my experience is that many physicists have different rankings than you suggest.
- kurtosis 17y agoplease share your experience! I don't take this ranking wankery too seriously. There are some papers that I really love that were published is lesser known journals. I guess I was talking about AMO and cond.mat. which are the majority of physicists. These lists are obviously biased towards experimentalists, although theory occasionally makes it into science / nature.
