Abstract: We propose a citation-based framework for the assessment of journal 
influence and demonstrate its application with the Journal of Banking and 
Finance. The framework assesses the current position of the journal, its trends 
and the reasons behind the trends. The Journal of Banking and Finance is found 
to be one of the leading journals in the field of finance and its influence is 
increasing. In fact, it appears to be part of a group of leading journals that is 
separating itself from the other journals that are generally regarded as peers. 
Finally, the Journal of Banking and Finance is found to be the only leading 
finance journal with a high concentration of banking articles, making it a 
primary outlet for influential articles in this area. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights
