Abstract:
Journal rankings are frequently used as a measure of both journal and
author research quality. Nonetheless, debates frequently arise because
journal rankings do not take into account the underlying diversity of the
finance research community. This study examines how factors such as a
researcher's geographic origin, research interests, seniority, and journal
affiliation influence journal quality perceptions and readership patterns.
Based on a worldwide sample of 862 finance academics, we find remarkable
consistency in the rankings of top journals. For the remaining journals,
perception of journal quality differs depending on the researcher's
geographic origin, research interests, seniority, and journal affiliation.
