Showing papers on "Journal ranking published in 2001"
TL;DR: The authors found that although six of the ten articles most cited by finance journals were published in econometrics or economics journals, and Journal of Finance accounts for only one of the top ten articles, still dominates with the article cited most frequently in eight of the last ten years.
Abstract: Which journal articles have had the most impact on finance research? Which articles were most cited in each of the last 30 years? Which journals dominated finance research in the 1990s? Did any finance sub-discipline stand out or lag behind in the 1990s? We answer these and similar questions using a comprehensive sample of journals, an extensive time period, and a new ranking method that avoids problems inherent in the existing literature. We find that although six of the ten articles most cited by finance journals were published in econometrics or economics journals, and Journal of Finance accounts for only one of the top ten articles, Journal of Finance still dominates with the article cited most frequently in eight of the last ten years. We also find that methodological papers such as White (1980) and Hansen (1982) are very highly ranked. We use the most influential papers to construct suggested Ph.D. course reading lists.

Abstract: The paper articulates the problems of journal publication in a relatively small country such as Romania where locally (i.e. nationally) published journals include most of the national medical scientific output. The starting point was a study ordered by the Cluj University of Medicine and Pharmacy Scientific Council, for the purpose of obtaining an objectively ranked list of all current Romanian biomedical journals that could be used in the evaluation of the scientific activity of the university academic staff. Sixty-five current biomedical journals were identified--of which more than half were new titles that had appeared over the past 5 years. None of these are included in the Science Citation Index or Journal Citation Reports (JCR). A set of criteria was used for ranking the journals: peer review, inclusion in international databases, publication time lag, language of articles and abstracts, journal specific index and domestic impact factor. The period covered, along with tools and formulas used are presented. The problems of Romanian biomedical journals as well as ways of improving publishing standards are discussed. Also emphasized is the necessity for increased awareness in the medical scholarly community and the role of the library in this respect.
