I’ve been looking at markets for short science fiction, trying to see which are “prominent” or “highly visible.” I used four different filters, which came up with different results.

| F&SF | 1 |
| Strange Horizons | 1 |
| Interzone | 1 |
| PS Publishing | 1 |
Markets with stories that received Nebula nominations for 2007:
| F&SF | 7 |
| Asimovs | 5 |
| Helix | 3 |
| Realms of Fantasy | 1 |
| Cosmos | 1 |
| Writers of the Future | 1 |
| Analog | 1 |
Markets with stories appearing in the Year’s Best SF for 2006:

| Strange Horizons | 2 |
| Interzone | 1 |
| PS Publishing | 1 |
| Aeon | 1 |
| Flurb | 1 |
| Albedo One | 1 |
Markets with five or more stories receiving “honorable mentions” in the Year’s Best SF for 2006:
| Market |

I’m not sure what this does, except maybe to sort out the very busy SF short fiction universe.
