Resolution criteria

This market will resolve based on the results of a poll conducted on the Manifold platform. The option that receives the highest number of votes by the market closing date will be declared the winning ranking. In the event of a tie, the market will resolve to the option that reached the highest vote total first.

Background

The prestige of academic philosophy journals is a subject of ongoing debate within the discipline, often influenced by citation metrics, acceptance rates, and qualitative surveys of faculty. Mind, The Journal of Philosophy, and Noûs are consistently cited as being among the top English-language philosophy journals, though there is no consensus on their exact hierarchical order (I left out Philosophical Review because there pretty much is consensus that it is the top journal). Because "prestige" is inherently subjective and lacks a single, universally accepted metric, this market relies on community consensus via polling rather than external citation databases.
