Why Is the Journal of Agricultural & Applied Economics Not in the Major Citation Indices and Does It Really Matter?

Abstract: Why is it that we care about citation indices? Like proverbial silverback gorillas, we beat our chests at every change in our “h-index” or grunt loudly at every e-mail alert of a new citation to our papers. What does it all really mean though? Is there some deeper significance to a citation index? Does having a journal in the index enhance its own or sponsoring association's reputation? Inquiring minds want to know.
