Abstract: This article proposes a parametric approach for facilitating inter†metric and inter†field comparisons of citation†based journal ranking metrics. The mechanism is simple to apply and adjusts for metric magnitude differentials and distributional asymmetries in the rank†score curves. The method is demonstrated using h†index, AWCR†index, g†index, and e†index data from journals in Accounting, Economics, and Finance.
