Journal of Peace Research, Security Dialogue: Improved Rankings
Security Dialogue (SD) and the Journal of Peace Research (JPR) remain in the top quartile of journal rankings.

Two Top-Ten PRIO Journals!
The 2016 impact factor (IF) from InCites Journal Citation Reports is now out, and PRIO is extremely happy to once again have two journals within the top-10 on the 2-year ranking in International Relations.
This is the impact factor that traditionally gets most attention in research communities, but it is even more impressing that both journals in fact have been within the top-ten of the more stable 5-year impact ranking ever since 2013! It is an exceptional achievement by all standards.
This year, Security Dialogue clocked in as no. 6 out of 96 journals with a 2-year IF of 2.692 (up from no. 20 in 2015), and JPR retained its position within top-ten, ranked as no. 10 with an IF of 2.284.
On the 5-year impact factor, JPR is now ranked as no. 5 with Security Dialogue right behind as no. 6. JPR is also ranked as no. 24 in Political Science. Security Dialogue is not ranked in this category.
Both journals also currently have high rankings on other lists, including Scopus and Google Scholar Metrics.
PRIO's Journal of Peace Research makes top three on global ranking
While the Journal of Peace Research (JPR) has long been highly ranked on the Web of Science/Thomson Reuter's Journal Citation Reports, 2015 was a record year for PRIO's leading international journal. JPR has increased its Impact Factor by nearly 50% from 2014 to 2015, earning the journal a top-three placement globally on both the Political Science and the International Relations lists. JPR is the highest ranked European journal in both categories.
