What this page is about

This page is part of a larger set of rankings for research items, serials, authors and institutions made available on this site. A FAQ is available.

• Only authors registered with the RePEc Author Service are considered.
• Only works listed on RePEc and claimed as theirs by registered authors are counted.
• Different versions of the same work published in different series or journals are counted only once.
• Citations are determined from references of listed works. Both the cited and citing works have to be listed in RePEc. See CitEc for details on the citation extraction.
• Self-Citations are excluded.
• Each citation is discounted by its age in years (1/age).
• Authors who are deceased or whose email address with RePEc is invalid are not counted, the latter under the assumption that they have moved or have died
• There are 9337 institutions with 73707 registered authors evaluated for all the rankings

The data presented here are experimental. They are based on a sample of the research output in Economics and Finance. Only material catalogued in RePEc is considered. For any citation based criterion, only works that could be parsed by the CitEc project are considered. For any ranking of people, only those registered with the RePEc Author Service can be taken into account. And for rankings of institutions, only those listed in EDIRC and claimed as affiliation by the respective, registered authors can be measured. Thus, this list is by no means based on a complete sample. You can help making this more comprehensive by encouraging more publications to be listed (instructions) and more authors to register (form).
