Chapter 1 in Publishing and Measuring Success in Economics, 2020, vol. 1, pp 1-7 from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: In this eBook, we take stock of these issues with a series of short essays focusing on how economists publish their research and measure academic success. Our reading of the evidence is that while there is much to be proud of about the state of the economics profession, there is still work to be done to make economics more open and inclusive and the publication process fairer and more efficient. Promoting stronger competition among journals could help in dealing with many, though not all, of the issues highlighted in this eBook. One obvious way to achieve this is to assign a greater weight in the assessment of economists’ career success to the high-quality, non-Top Five journals.
