Two approaches to measuring journal quality: Application to finance journals

Abstract

We analyze the tendency of a journal to publish articles that eventually become classics in their specialized fields. A simple theoretical model is developed and applied to citation data for finance journals in 1991 and 1992. Of the top ten finance journals, only four are traditional finance journals, and six are economics journals, while none are accounting journals. This illustrates the close synergies between economic research and financial research. In contrast, the linkages between accounting research and financial research are much weaker.
