In 2008, the Agency for Assessment of Research and Higher Education in France (Agence pour l’évaluation de la recherche et de l’enseignement supérieur, aeres) published two separate lists to rank philosophical journals (see Revue philosophique 2009-1, p. 91-99). A new and updated list appeared in November 2009, with significant changes: fewer titles were included and internal ranking was abandoned. This paper discusses the scope and limitations of these changes.
