Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether geographical
concentration can act as a supplement to the Journal Impact Factor (JIF).
The results indicate that the use of a geographical concentration measure
opens up new possibilities for analyses of the development of geographic
diversion over time. In contrast to measures used in earlier studies the
precise strength of the geographical concentration index as a measure of
diversion is that it represents diversion as a single value that can be
followed over time. The results show wider geographic distribution of
European economics journals in the 1980s compared to the American economics
journals whereas there seems to be no difference in geographic dispersion in
the 1990s.
