If the faculty member is seeking impact info for tenure review, I tell my folks to use Google Scholar, which doesn't rank journals but does some citation-tracking. It ain't much but it's all we've got. And good luck if most of their work is in books. The impact of a book is difficult to gauge, even in the sciences & social sciences. I think the MLA Directory of Periodicals gives acceptance rates for many journals--at least, using that, one could judge whether a journal is highly selective (or not). For some of the disciplines mentioned in the list below, there might only be one or two journals... so then wouldn't they ALL be "high impact"??? LOL nedda. Nedda H.
