Finance journal rankings and tiers: An Active Scholar Assessment methodology

The influence of co-authorship on article impact in OR/MS/OM and the exchange of knowledge with Finance in the twenty-first century

“…For example, the mean citation rates in the last column of Panel B of However, contrary to the earlier observation on OR/MS/OM journals, significant Spearman's rank correlation of 0.796 (0.01) indicates a substantial association between journal rank as per Currie and Pandher (2011) and rankings on FIDE. That is, the extent of knowledge contribution within the discipline is more prevalent among the higher ranked Finance journals.…”

“…b Currie and Pandher (2011) Table 9 measures the extent an OR/MS/OM journal is self-perpetuating in relation to its discipline. Refer to equation (6).…”

An empirical investigation of the influence of collaboration in Finance on article impact

“…B-cut-off can be justified because our research question is focused on article impact -a phenomenon more likely to be observed among higher ranked journalsand on the grounds of making downloads and data processing manageable. 1 H-indices reported by WoS (A+, 109; A-, 49; B+, 38; B, 37; and B-, 22) show the progressive nature of this index from B-to A+, thus adding confidence to the tiers generated by Currie and Pandher (2011). That is, as we move up the tiers, we notice a larger number of articles that are more heavily cited.…”

“…The only two tiers that are close to each other on the h-index are B+ and B. Table 1 lists the journals considered for data collection ranked in a descending order as originally reported by Currie and Pandher (2011). The ranking is based on the so-called Active Scholar Assessment methodology (i.e., survey of active scholars) and nested regression that produces tiers and a numerical estimate of quality (the latter determines rank ordering).…”

BIBLIOMETRIC OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS RESEARCH

“…It appeared in the field of library and information science and it has expanded to all the research categories. In economic sciences, it has received a lot of attention in a wide range of fields including management (Podsakoff et al 2008), data envelopment analysis (Liu et al 2013), production and operations management (Hsieh, Chang 2009;Pilkington, Meredith 2009), SWOT analysis (Ghazinoory et al 2011), fuzzy research (Merigó et al 2015a), ecological economics (Hoepner et al 2012), physics (Redner 2005), entrepreneurship (Landström et al 2012), innovation (Fagerberg et al 2012;Yang, Tao 2012), decision making (Wallenius et al 2008), marketing (Seggie, Griffith 2009), finance (Chan et al 2011;2013;Currie, Pandher 2011), economics (Bonilla et al 2015;Stern 2013), econometrics (Baltagi 2007) and health economics (Wagstaff, Culyer 2012). However, none of these studies has analyzed the area of business & economics as a whole.…”
