Revision as of 07:45, 23 March 2018

The following is a list of journals in linguistics, language studies, and related areas, that are indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Also included are journals that are indexed in the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) and the Sciences Citation Index (SCI). These represent the top and upper-medium tiers of international journals in the field.


Some journals are also index in the Expanded SCI or Expanded SSCI, which is a wider list of journals, and in wider Clarivate journal databases for Current Contents (CC); aside from those listed here, most Expanded or CC journals are not SSCI, SCI, or A&HCI journals, though the Expanded databases include possible candidates for future inclusion in the SSCI, SCI, or A&HCI.


This list is intended for researchers who wish to publish in some of the better international journals. This list is for non-commercial purposes only.
