According to the Chronicle of Higher Education:
A large-scale, multinational attempt in Europe to rank humanities journals has set off a revolt. In a protest letter, some journal editors have called it “a dangerous and misguided exercise” … Panels of four to six scholars, appointed by a steering committee, compiled initial lists of journals to be classified in 15 fields. Each journal was assigned to a category — A, B, or C — depending on its reputation and international reach … The panels rely on information provided by the 80 or so member institutions of the European Science Foundation, which sponsors the project. Citation rates also play a part in categorization, and the panels get that information from commercial databases.
For “art, architectural and design history” journals, the project’s jurors were:
Alain Schnapp, Université Paris 1 (FR)
Greg Clunas, School of Oriental and African Studies (UK)
Jose Burucua, Universidad Nacional del General San Martín-Argentine (AR)
Andreas Tönnesmann, Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur (CH)
Ingrid Ciulisová, Slovak Academy of Sciences (SK)
Cinzia Sicca Bursill-Hall Università degli Studi di Pisa (IT)
They gave the following journals the “A” classification (FYI: this link goes to a pdf file):
