PageRanking the Mormon Studies Journals

In an effort to get a very general idea of what impact the various Mormon Studies journals are having in the field, I used Google's PageRank system on each of their home pages. As a baseline comparison, note that the very successful Christian journal Church History has a score of 5/10. My blog has a score of 3/10. Now, note that this is a wholly unscientific scoring system. We could get a better idea of the journals' impacts by using something like the "impact factor" used in the hard sciences. PageRanks will tend to be higher if a journal is viewable online, or if its web page has lots of other content (like blogs and news and the like). It will tend to be lower if people commonly bypass the homepage, i.e. by linking directly to particular articles from off-site.

Anyway, the winner rather surprised me. The International Journal of Mormon Studies took the cake with a score of 6/10.

The runners up were Dialogue, Sunstone, Segullah, and the Journal of Mormon History with 4/10. Next came the JWHA Journal with 2/10.

The Maxwell Institute journals did surprisingly poorly. The FARMS Review scored 1/10, whereas JBMORS, Studies in the Bible and Antiquity, and the FARMS Occasional Papers all scored 0/10. Since the individual home pages of these journals are unremarkable (albeit about on par with the JMH and JWHA Journal's pages), I also gauged the Maxwell Institute main page. It scored 4/10. It would seem that FARMS's fame is somewhat out of proportion to its e-readership. (I expected these numbers to be quite a bit higher, especially given that you can read these journals online.)

ADDENDUM:
A few I missed: The Mormon Review (3/10), Element: A Journal of Mormon Philosophy and Theology (3/10), Irreantum (3/10).
