Seventy-five administrators of home economics programs rated 18 journals for familiarity and perceived quality. The Journals to which the most subscribed were the Journal of Home Economics (92%) and the Home Economics Research Journal (82%). The administrators rated the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition highest in quality. Almost all administrators stated that publishing is becoming more important in their evaluations of faculty. Data were collected on administrators' specializations and on the characteristics of responding administrators' institu tions. The growing stress on faculty publishing is evidenced at both small and large institutions, although in the past it was less emphasized at smaller colleges. Institution size is a factor in actual publishing productivity in that larger schools tend to have more prolific authors.
