We did a survey on this a couple of years ago, and I thought it might be worth trying it again, with a few new additions this time. I've left out very good journals that publish, say, only in history of philosophy, or only in value theory, limiting the survey to journals that publish in roughly a half-dozen subfields or more. We'll let this run a few days, and then see where we are. Have fun!
