IS THERE LIFE BEYOND THE ISI JOURNALS LISTS? THE INTERNATIONAL IMPACT OF SPANISH, ITALIAN, FRENCH AND GERMAN ECONOMICS JOURNALS

By:	Jordi Pons Novell; Daniel A. Tirado Fabregat
Abstract:	This comparative study looks at the international impact of leading economics journals published in Spain, Italy, France and Germany. It also aims to establish whether they play a similar role in any of these 4 countries. For this purpose data were collected on the number of times that articles published in these journals are cited in international journals on the ISI Journals lists. The study focused on the number and characteristics of the citations received during the period 1996-2004 by articles published between 1995 and 1999 in a limited number of Spanish, Italian, French and German journals. The international impact of the Spanish journals was found to be similar in size and characteristics to that of the Italian publications. However, it differed sharply from the impact of the highest-ranking French and German journals. These last received a higher volume of citations, some of which also showed very different qualitative characteristics.
