Handelsblatt Ranking and Journal Quality: A Cautionary Note

Ali Onder

German Economic Review, 2017, vol. 18, issue 4, 516-524

Abstract: I provide a brief discussion of the Handelsblatt ranking by focusing on its journal quality weights. I summarize the methodology underlying journals’ prestige measure, which is derived from their citation networks, and discuss its strengths and shortcomings. Although I agree that Handelsblatt ranking provides a great service to the profession, that same profession needs to be rather careful not to overemphasize the journal quality weights.
