Kohl and C.H. Davis’s study was considered to be high among the ARL di- rectors and deans, it appears that journal prestige for the ARL directors is similar to that of the practicing physical science librarians in the present study and may be influenced more by a journal’s applicabil- ity to practice than by the publication of original research.28 Indeed, Mary T. Kim subsequently reported that the deans in Kohl and Davis’s study placed a higher value on research-oriented publications, but the ARL directors preferred a mix of research-practitioner journals.29 Similar to the physical science librarians’ data pre- sented here, Kim also found that for ARL directors, citation factors did not influence prestige rating for the highly rated prac- titioner-oriented journals.30 In contrast, however, she did find that citation factors for research journals were correlated with the journal prestige rankings of both ARL directors and deans.31 The preferred library and information studies journals publish virtually equal proportions of research and nonresearch articles, with the majority of research articles being reports of qualitative surveys without statistical analysis.	cache/crl-15727.pdf	txt/crl-15727.txt
