Wednesday, December 14, 1983/The Ba1talion/Page 5 Department ranked fifth in political science survey by Linda Griggs Battalion Reporter The Texas A&M Department of Political Science ranked fifth in a survey of scholarly articles in general and specialized political science journals from 1978- 1982. The survey was completed this fall by John L. Foster of Southern Illinois University and the results were presented last month at the 1983 meeting of the Southern Political Science Association. Of the schools surveyed, Texas A&M ranked third in the survey of six general political sci ence journals, 15th in the publi cation of specialized journals and fifth overall. The purpose of the survey was to update and expand pre vious studies that had been done on publications in major scho larly journals, the primary out lets for research publications in political science. In the general political scien ce category, the journals sur veyed were the American Jour nal of Political Science, The American Political Science Re view, The Journal of Politics, Polity, Social Science Quarterly, and Western Political Quarterly. The specialized journals sur veyed were American Politics Quarterly, Comparative Politics, Law and Society Review, Public Administration Review, Political Theory, and World Politics. Texas A&M ranked 44th in a similar survey which comprised publications from 1966-1977. Samuel A. Kirkpatrick, head of the political science depart ment, says that part of the reason they ranked so low in the 1966-1977 survey was because the department was in transi tion. “We had a lot of new people and we made a major shift from being almost exclusively an undergraduate teaching depart ment to a more balanced com prehensive department with undergraduate and graduate in struction and a lot of research activity,” Kirkpatrick said. He also said that this year’s ranking will help his depart ment recruit the best faculty and the best graduate students from around the country as well as having a spillover effect on the quality of instruction undergra duate students receive.
