We analyse the interrelationship between economics journals' relevance and reputation. While reputation and relevance positively affect each other, relevance has a much stronger impact on reputation than reputation on relevance. Citation frequency is a key determinant for both journal reputation and relevance, but effects on journal reputation are nearly twice as strong. Specialised journals are, ceteris paribus, considered less relevant and, therefore, also less reputed, even though specialisation has a positive direct effect on reputation. German-speaking economists find German journals more relevant, but at the same time also less reputed than foreign journals. Age and volume effects are also analysed.

“…This last approach, in other words, is necessarily subjective because it relies on human judgment. Ellis and Durden (1991) conclude that survey responses are a "very subjective indicator of quality." The second is a citation-based approach, in which citations are collected from a public domain source to conduct a ranking of journals.…”

Purpose -Prior studies in citation-based journal rankings tend to be static to compare across journals. One journal may be judged better in citations than other journals at some points in time but not at the others. The assumption that the citation distribution is normally distributed and that the citation observations are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) may not be appropriate. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach -This study uses a stochastic dominance (SD) analysis, which overcomes the dynamic nature of changes in citation over time. The SD method proposed by Linton, Maasoumi, and Whang (hereafter LMW, 2005) does not require the data to be i.i.d. We use the LMW method to compare the relative ranking of 23 finance journals using citations for all articles from them during 1990-2010. Findings -The study indicates that the citation distribution changes over time. Thus a SD analysis is a better approach for a comparison of journal ranking. The findings unambiguously place JF, JFE, RFS, JFQA, and JFI in the top five spots of the finance journal ranking. The "near-top" journals, such as JBF, JCF, and FM, are not clear cut in the SD analysis.Research limitations/implications -The results confirm that ranking for the lower ranked journals may change over time especially, but the top three journals appear to be robust across methods and over time.Originality/value -The results of SD analysis provides more convincing evidence on finance journal ranking and could be useful to rank academic institutions, faculty research quality, and help the authors to decide what to read and which journals are influential.

“…The complexity of today's high tech problems have encouraged many entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to create innovations based on complementary and/or convergent technology sets [140], rather than the traditional single technology or "silo" approach [91]. By combining technology into sets, new methods of solving problems become available [66].…”

“…Attempts to address concerns regarding issues of quality and quantity have resulted in a number of alternatives to evaluation, including citation counts, 4,[57][58][59] journal impact scores, 52, [60][61][62][63] Hirsch Indices, 52,64,65 journal reputation studies, 48,63,[66][67][68][69] and Internet citation rates. 70,71 The result has been a proliferation of measures to assess research, researchers, research outlets, and the locations in which the research occurs.…”
