Anne Helen Petersen’s note: "The vast majority of these descriptions are culled from Janet Staiger’s list; a few I’ve added myself, but I’d love to see more notes, especially in terms of prestige/feedback received, etc., so long as it’s productive." Janet Staiger’s caveat: “In all cases, go to the journal and read the publication information and submissions pages to determine whether the journal is peer-reviewed and who is on the editorial board.  Remember that articles should be submitted to only one journal at a time."
