The Australasian Philosophical Association has released a ranking of Journals in Philosophy. Much of this (as you can imagine) is based on reputation, not research. As a result, the rankings are heavily influenced by disciplinary biases, including the relative prestige of various sub-specializations in the discipline. But it *may* give you a sense of which journals to prioritize in your research.
