The DSAA is pleased to share with its members and other interested parties this list of development studies journals.

The primary purpose of the list is to provide a reference point for scholars to identify journals of significance to the field of development studies.

The list is an ongoing work in progress and is currently not ranked. In the future, DSAA seeks to provide multiple rankings of the listed journals, based on traditional impact factors and on other metrics that are better representative of the normative values of our field – such as inclusivity, equity and diversity of representation. This is a complex and work-intensive undertaking that raises challenging ethical questions.

This list was compiled for the DSAA by Dr Charles Hawksley (University of Wollongong). A lot of voluntary work went into creating the list, and DSAA would like to publicly thank Dr Hawksley for this undertaking.

Purpose:

The list has been compiled for the DSAA to respond to the adoption of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Excellence in Research Australian (ERA) Field of Research (FoR) code: 4404 Development Studies

This list does not attempt to rank the listed journals.

This list is intended for

(1)   distribution to DSAA Committee members and to any in the DSAA who can assist their institutions in responding to ERA consultation on their list of journals for Field of Research Code 4404.

(2)   General purposes of the DSAA in shaping what the organisation feels are the appropriate journals for the discipline.

 Methodology:

As ranking is not attempted, the DSAA journal ranking list:

(1)   Commenced by searching for keywords for each 6-digit 4404 code (ie 440401, 440402 etc) in Scimago Journal and country rank website within social sciences journals (https://www.scimagojr.com/).For example, 440401 ‘Development cooperation’ a search was conducted for ‘Development Cooperation’ ( 2 results) and for ‘International Development’ (352 results) within Social Sciences journals.

(2)   Results were then assessed for relevance by the expert consultant (Dr Charles Hawksley) to arrive at 24 journals for code 440401.

(3)   Similar steps were conducted for all 4404 codes.

(4)   The list produced was reviewed by DSAA Executive Committee, who suggested additional journals.

(5)   All journals were combined and duplicates removed.

(6)   Final list has 347 journals.

(7)   ARC list had 156 journals (only around 54 of which appeared on the DSAA initial journal list).

(8)   Combined list would result in 460 journals.

Lists were compiled by Dr Charles Hawksley (University of Wollongong) based on searched keywords from ERA 6 digit FoR codes in Development Studies (4404).

Additional journals have been provided by DSAA committee members.

Thanks to Prof Mark McGillivray and A.Prof Nichole Georgeou who worked on the first iteration of a journal list for DSAA.

Thanks to A.Prof Anthony Ware for coordination with DSAA Committee.
