A lot of top subfield journals are missing. In the race subfield, for instance, SRE is now more prestigious than, or at least on par with, ERS.

Yeah, plus no migration journal? IMR and JEMS are the top dogs in that area.

ERS is British, very interdisciplinary, and has horrible review times, so SRE’s ASA affiliation and more functional editorship team has quickly made it the go-to for American race scholars.

What field does Socioeconomic Review serve? Isn't it a general journal?

To shift the focus a bit, would folks be interested in a ranking of journals broken down by subfield? So what's the ranking in gender? What's the ranking in orgs? etc.

This is just not true. The quality of work being published in SRE is not comparable to ERS. SRE is just an outlet for EBS and his friends to publish in.
