Dear Colleagues, We have updated our author and institution rankings based on publications in core regional science journals during 2010-2014. A copy of the paper containing the updated rankings can be found at the following link: https://ideas.repec.org/p/okl/wpaper/1603.html Ranking Authors and Institutions by Publications in Regional Science Journals: 2010-2014 Downloadable! In this paper, authors and institutions are ranked based on the number of publications in ten core regional science journals during the period 2010-2014. Alternative rankings are constructed by considering only publications in the top four of the ten journals and also by adjusting for journal impact factors. Two impact factors are calculated for each regional science journal. The first is based on citations by the other nine core regional science journals, and the second by citations from all journals in the database Scopus. Discussion is included regarding the patterns and consistency of the rankings across alternative criteria. Comparisons also are made to previous regional science publication rankings of authors and institutions. Read more...<https://ideas.repec.org/p/okl/wpaper/1603.html>
The primary differences are the following. 1) All three issues of The Review of Regional Studies for 2014 are now reflected in the rankings. 2) One issue of the International Regional Science Review, which was incorrectly classified in SCOPUS has now been incorporated into the rankings. 3) One issue of Annals of Regional Science, which was incorrectly omitted from SCOPUS has now been incorporated (manually) into the rankings. 4) We corrected a few article records that were previously duplicated 5) We have added a table for the top 50 U.S. authors to parallel the already included table of U.S. institutions. We will both be at NARSC in Portland should anyone wish to discuss the rankings with us. With best regards, Dan Rickman and John Winters
