Is anyone on the list close enough to the RAE process to know whether there
is in existence, publicly or privately, a list of current British (and
other English-language) poetry magazines giving an indication of their
standing for RAE purposes?
All poets have a sense of there being a hierachy, and follow it
instinctively in the career-building business, guessing cannily that the
TLS and Poetry Review will rate higher than evanescent home-produced mags
with surrealist names. (In practical terms, we know that journals that pay
you for a poem are worth getting into... not just for the money.)
But does the academic mind at work in the RAE panel use the same
instinctive list? Are journals with university links, or containing
scholarly articles, more likely to score than goof poetry-only mags like
(say) The Rialto? Does anyone have an insight on these things?
