N2 - Identified 76 colleges and universities that were leading contributors of articles in 13 journals published by the American Psychological Association during 1970–1976. Productivity ratings were assigned to these institutions for each journal separately and for the composite of all 13 journals. These ratings, in turn, were compared with the "reputational" ratings of colleges and universities which had been assigned in a previous study by K. D. Roose and C. J. Andersen (1970). Considerable disparity in ratings according to the procedures of the 2 studies was found. 40% of the most productive schools received higher rankings in the present study than the previous one; 22% of the schools rated as adequate in the previous study were not identified as the most productive. The validity of ratings based upon subjective indexes of quality is discussed
