Economics Ranking, Overall The rankings reflect adjusted page counts in the forty most-cited economics journals (based on Kalaitzidakis et al., EER, 2002; see below) between 1993 and 2003. Some articles were ruled out: those of length three pages or less, errata and corrigenda, and those by authors who had fewer than three publications in that period. (The rationale for the latter exclusion is that the last published affiliation of very infrequent authors is likely to be outdated.) Co-author scores are calculated for every article from page count adjusted for: (1) "quality" category of the journal, (2) number of co-authors, (3) recency. An institution's score is the sum of the aggregated co-author scores of those who named the institution as their first affiliation in their most recent publication. Subfield rankings use the same procedure after grouping articles by the first-given JEL classification. The length of the lists as they are displayed depends on a cut-off score; since the cut-off is the same for all subfields, the number of ranks shown roughly correlates with the "size" of the subfield. As some correspondents have pointed out, there are important specialty journals missing from the list of journals. This is a problem when ranking departments in areas like economic history, where a large share of key research is published in these journals. In time, I will amend the journal list in certain subfields on a case-by-case basis and revise these specialty rankings.
