Reputation and Relevance of Economics Journals
分析了经济学期刊的相关性与声誉之间的相互关系，发现相关性对声誉的影响远大于声誉对相关性的影响，引文频率是关键因素，且专业化期刊被认为相关性较低但声誉有直接正面效应。
Summary We analyse the interrelationship between economics journals' relevance and reputation. While reputation and relevance positively affect each other, relevance has a much stronger impact on reputation than reputation on relevance. Citation frequency is a key determinant for both journal reputation and relevance, but effects on journal reputation are nearly twice as strong. Specialised journals are, ceteris paribus, considered less relevant and, therefore, also less reputed, even though specialisation has a positive direct effect on reputation. German‐speaking economists find German journals more relevant, but at the same time also less reputed than foreign journals. Age and volume effects are also analysed.
