Several MIT Press journals in linguistics landed in the top of the field—including Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics at #6 out of all 297 linguistics journals in publication; Computational Linguistics at #10; Neurobiology of Language at #14; and Linguistic Inquiry at #77.
