636 votes in our latest poll, on the best "general" journals of philosophy (those that publish in multiple areas). The "top 20" are bolded--beyond that the results are even less meaningful I expect. Recall that The Monist was wrongly omitted from the poll, and might have made the top 20. I suspect that among readers of this blog there is probably some bias in favor of on-line, open access journals, which might help Philosopher's Imprint and Ergo, although the former has performed strongly in these polls for many years now. Comments are open for readers to identify other journals that should have been included or to otherwise comment on the results. (Submit comments only once, they may take awhile to appear.)
