Economics and econometrics journals, from general-interest journals to field journals in labour, development, energy, environmental and innovation economics. All 419 journals are ranked by the 2026 Journal Metrics Score, with each journal's quartile in economics and its h-index.
Updated August 2026 · 2-year citation average from OpenAlex data
Survey journals and policy-oriented field journals collect citations faster than theory journals, so a specialised journal with a modest score can still be the right home for a paper.
