<p>It was recently suggested to me to seek comparable, alternative, journals to the above two (I am not interested in discussing why one would want to do so here). I am wondering if anyone has suggestions of comparable journals to these two, which I rate as middle-of-the-road specialized journals in algebra.</p> <p>Optimal answers will be names of journals whose likelihood of accepting any given paper, and esteem amongst people in the field, correlates highly with these two; so, they will consequently be specialized in algebra, and of approximately equal caliber. Also, it would be good if the rigor of the referee process is comparable.</p>

<p>In my opinion the question is somewhat vague. However, I think that Algebra and Representation Theory or Algebra and Number Theory are examples of specialized journals in algebra of level more or less similar to J. Algebra or Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra. </p>

<p>Communications in Algebra (Taylor and Francis). It was my impression that some years ago it was considered as slightly worse than the ones you mentioned, but I also believe they tried to improve lately.</p> <p>Journal of Algebra and its Applications (WorldScientific). Most likely also considered as not quite as good, but perhaps not much worse either. </p>

<p>I think Journal of Algebra is the top journal in algebra (at least in some areas of algebra). But the quality varies. Some papers are excellent and some are just good. In my view Communication in Algebra and Algebra and Representation Theory are decent journals (indeed I have published in both), but I would say they are a level below Journal of Algebra. I am not familiar too much with Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra. </p> <p>I think Journal of Group Theory is in the level of Journal of Algebra (some say better).</p> <p>Groups, Geometry and Dynamics seems to publish good papers recently, but it is relatively new so I am not sure about reputation.</p> <p>I have just recently noticed Journal of Algebra and its Applications and it seems to have a very good editorial board.</p>

<p>International Journal of Algebra and Computation (IJAC), published by World Scientific, is another possibility. In practice they have their areas of speciality, such as geometric group theory.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://rmmc.asu.edu/jca/jca.html" rel="nofollow">Journal of Commutative Algebra</a> is a more specialized journal that I believe tries to be of similar quality to the Journal of Algebra. </p> <p>In particular, they have recently asked their referees whether they would recommend that this paper would also be accepted at the Journal of Algebra and state that they are shooting for comparable quality.</p>
