The Dramatic Rise of the New Society Journals in Economics
基于新方法更新经济学期刊排名，记录新学会期刊的崛起，发现编辑人脉吸引顶尖作者是其表现优异的关键，对期刊管理和学术评价有参考价值。
Abstract We produce updated rankings of economics journals based on established and new methodologies, and use these rankings to document the spectacular rise of the new society journals in economics. We show that, while several factors (editor reputations, editor experience, citations from parent journals and the number of articles published) help determine these journals’ impact factors, none help explain why the new journals outperform natural comparison journals. However, soliciting top authors connected to the editors can explain their outperformance. We also consider factors such as fast turnaround times, the transfer of referee reports and associations leveraging their reputations.
