Hi Emily, I put some information together on journal metrics for an Early Career Researchers meeting at IASSIDD this year. Some of it comes from Richard Hastings' really helpful annual account of ID journals' impact factors. I have added the source normalised metrics that come from Scimago (https://www.scimagojr.com/) and CWTS Indicators (SNIP http://www.journalindicators.com/indicators) and put Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders onto the list. Journal SNIP Scimago Impact Factor J Autism Dev Disorders 1.51 Q1 (Developmental and Educational Psychology) 3.48 Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions 1.64 Q1 (Pediatrics, Perinatology & Child Health, Developmental & Educational Psychology) 2.41 JARID 1.63 Q1 (Education) 2.26 Journal of Intellectual Disability Research 1.33 Q1 (Rehabilitation) 2.03 AJIDD 1.37 Q1 (Developmental and Educational Psychology; Psychiatry & Mental Health) 1.90 Research in Developmental Disabilities 1.19 Q1 (Clinical Psychology) 1.82 Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities 1.46 Q1 (Health Professions) 1.78 Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 0.68 Q2 (Psychiatry & Mental Health) 1.48 J of Developmental and Physical Disabilities 0.86 Q2 (Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation, Developmental & Educational Psychology) 1.31 Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities 1.11 Q1 (Education) 1.29 Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities 0.68 Q2 (Education) 1.18 Journal of Policy and Practice in ID 1.02 Q2 (Public Health) 0.85 Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders 1.04 Q1 (Pediatrics, Perinatology & Child Health, Neurology (clinical), Pathology and Forensic Medicine. Q2 for Cognitive Neuroscience 3.50 As Dougal suggests, the content and type of article content is also really important.

I think this might account for it's limited appeal to those working with generic concepts of 'learning disabilities' and a more behaviourist or social constructionist view of things.

I'm aware that, with acception of the Autism journals, there aren't many high impact specialist ID journals.
