Abstract
This paper presents a novel ranking of economics journals. Our methodology is the following.
First, we construct an index to rank the 304 journals recorded in the Thomson Reuters (JCR)
database, for which citation counts exist. This index combines (sophisticated) citation indexes, eld
of specialization normalized indexes, and a h-index based on Google Scholar citations. Moreover this
index puts forward journals in economics. Second, we extend this index to the 898 EconLit non JCR
journals. We estimate a model in which the index is explained by the score of the journal's authors
and its Google Scholar citations. Finally we use the estimated model to predict the value of the index
for the non JCR journals. Therefore we obtain a consistent ranking index of all EconLit journals.
