This article analyzes the journal publication records of professors working in doctoral degree-granting Africana studies programs. The journals most likely to publish the work of these scholars are the Journal of Black Studies, Callaloo, and other Africana-focused journals (e.g., Journal of Negro Education). Professors in the two Ivy League Africana doctoral programs are more likely to publish in non-Africana disciplinary journals (e.g., Quarterly Journal of Economics) or journals not strongly identified with any discipline (e.g., Critical Inquiry) than professors in other programs, who are much more likely to publish in the journals associated with the Africana studies field (e.g., Journal of Black Studies, The Black Scholar , or The Western Journal of Black Studies). This finding suggests that Africana studies has developed highly visible and central outlets for research, but these journals are not employed by Ivy League professors, who are likely vetting their research outside the Africana studies field.
