Best Economics and Finance Journals

The position of each journal within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score, a proprietary measure developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on two primary criteria: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have endorsed the journal over the past three years. This robust evaluation framework ensures that the ranking accurately reflects both the scientific impact and the esteem of each journal within the research community.

The Impact Score values appearing in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the data remains current and relevant to the ongoing developments in the field. The ranking process was extensive, involving the examination of more than 682 journals that were selected following a detailed inspection and a rigorous assessment of over 39,762 scientific documents published within the previous three years. This examination was further informed by the contributions and endorsements of 6,673 leading and highly respected scientists in Economics and Finance.
