This study evaluates the utility of a publication power approach ( PPA ) for assessing the quality of journals in the field of artificial intelligence. PPA is compared with the T homson‐ R euters Institute for S cientific Information ( TR ) 5‐year and 2‐year impact factors and with expert opinion. The ranking produced by the method under study is only partially correlated with citation‐based measures ( TR ), but exhibits close agreement with expert survey rankings. A simple average of TR and power rankings results in a new ranking that is highly correlated with the expert survey rankings. This evidence suggests that power ranking can contribute to evaluating artificial intelligence journals.
