?A quote on methodology used:

[75 experts from 32 countries experts graded] the journals on a four-point scale: A*,A, B or C, or to declare that they did not know the journal and code it with an X. The scale was defined according to four dimensions, characterising each rank: recognition; review process and quality standards; editors and editorial board; and citations. For example, the ranks A and B are described as:

A:

?

  • Recognition: The journal is recognised amongst researchers around the world as a strong one in the field of mathematics education.
  • Review process and quality standards: Through a systematic process of peer review the journal maintains high standards with a view to publishing research that displays the intellectual rigour, originality and significance that will be recognised as making a valuable contribution to the field.
  • Editor(s) and editorial board: The editor(s) and the members of the editorial board of the journal are themselves highly regarded researchers, many already recognised as international leaders in the field of mathematics education.
  • Citations: The journal is regularly cited in other journals, and many high quality research publications in mathematics education make some reference to work published in it.

B:

?

  • Recognition: The journal is recognised by researchers around the world as an estimable one in the field of mathematics education.
  • Review process and quality standards:Through a process of peer review the journal sets standards of rigour, originality and significance that command international respect within the field.
  • Editor(s) and editorial board: The editor(s) and the members of the editorial board of the journal are themselves well regarded researchers in the field of mathematics education.
