Heterodox Economics Journals: A Network Analysis

José Alejandro Coronado and Roberto Veneziani

Metroeconomica, 2025, vol. 76, issue 4, 484-502

Abstract: We provide a comprehensive examination of heterodox economics journals based on bibliometric data and social network analysis. We provide an updated ranking of the journals considered in a seminal contribution by Fred Lee and Bruce Cronin. We raise doubts on all rankings based on extensive definitions of heterodox (or heterodox‐friendly) journals by identifying internally cohesive subcommunities of journals that hardly communicate with each other. In contrast, there exists a group of 14 core heterodox economics journals that form an internally cohesive group. We derive a ranking of these journals and analyse its dynamics over the last decade and a half.
