How much does this journal matter?

So little it doesn't even merit an eigenfactor score

My very rough guess is the average tenured professor probably publishes about half their stuff in one of these minor journals, so that doesn't mean you should ignore them. But my impression has been that minor journals tend to be more specialized. Basic and Applied Psychology sounds like a pretty wide open category which is a bit odd.
