The following is a partial list of academic journals. There are thousands of academic journals currently being published, and many more have been published at various points in the past. The list given here is deliberately selective, and contains the most influential, currently publishing journals in each field. (As a rule of thumb, each field should be represented by more or less ten positions). It is highly desirable that the other important academic journals be represented by a list. In the sciences there are several such lists; List of scientific journals in astronomy being alphabetically the first. Links to these lists can be found in the list of scientific journals.
Note: there are many academic magazines that are not academic journals; they are not listed here.
