A new method for ranking academic journals in accounting and finance
针对现有期刊排名方法的局限，基于2001年英国科研评估（RAE）的提交数据，提出一种以经济激励驱动的质量选择为基础的新排名方法，生成综合排名。
Abstract Given the many and varied uses to which journal rankings are put. interest in ranking journal ‘quality’ is likely to persist. Unfortunately, existing methods of constructing such rankings all have inherent limitations. This paper proposes a new (complementary) approach, based on submissions to RAE 2001. which is not restricted to a pre-defined journal set and, importantly, is based on quality choice decisions driven by economic incentives. For three metrics, submissions to RAE 2001 are compared with the available set of publications to provide evidence on the perception of journal quality, a fourth metric is based on the overall RAE grades, and an overall ranking is produced.
