Dear Joshua
Thank you very much. I looked at them briefly and I think they are just the ticket! I shall pass the info on.

Rachel,

You may find these free journal ranking sites of interest:

Eigenfactor
http://www.eigenfactor.org/
-to see their rankings of education journals, select education from among
the drop down list of subject categories and leave the journal name field
blank.

Journalranking.com
http://journal-ranking.com/ranking/web/index.html
-mouse over 'ranking' and select 'common ranking', then select from among
the education categories in the drop down list of journals to be ranked. You
can use this feature without registering, but just about anything else you
may want to do on the site requires the creation of a profile.

I can't speak for the accuracy or quality of these tools since I know
nothing of the methodology behind the ranking system of either site, but
they may be a useful starting point.
