Universities have changed in recent decades with the introduction of various performance measurement systems, including journal ranking lists. This Bourdieu-inspired article analyses three types of strategies used by male associate professors in response to journal lists: building social capital at conferences and during stays abroad; marketing of research papers to potential reviewers and journal editors; and tactical co-authorship. Drawing on 55 qualitative interviews with male associate professors in the social sciences in Denmark, the article shows that journal lists, and the forms of strategic networking they are associated with, represent a new doxa in higher education. However, it also reveals that participants are unequally positioned when it comes to acting in accordance with performance metrics. Although comprehended as neutral, journal lists are based on (and contribute to) dividing lines between acknowledged and unacknowledged research – lines that tend to pass unnoticed among winners as well as losers in the academic publishing game.

将社会资本转化为科学资本：学术界的男性网络

近几十年来，随着各种绩效衡量系统（包括期刊排名列表）的引入，大学发生了变化。这篇受布迪厄启发的文章分析了男副教授针对期刊列表所使用的三种策略：在会议和出国期间建立社会资本；向潜在审稿人和期刊编辑推销研究论文；和战术合着。这篇文章借鉴了对丹麦社会科学领域的 55 名男性副教授的定性访谈，表明期刊列表以及与之相关的战略网络形式代表了高等教育中的新信念。然而，它也揭示了参与者在按照绩效指标采取行动时处于不平等的地位。尽管被理解为中立的，但期刊列表是基于（并有助于）承认和未承认的研究之间的分界线——这些分界线往往在学术出版游戏的赢家和输家之间被忽视。
