    A Google Scholar h-Index for Journals: An Alternative Metric to Measure Journal Impact in Economics and Business
    Harzing, A-W ; van der Wal, R (WILEY, 2009-01)
    Abstract We propose a new data source (Google Scholar) and metric (Hirsch's h‐index) to assess journal impact in the field of economics and business. A systematic comparison between the Google Scholar h‐index and the ISI Journal Impact Factor for a sample of 838 journals in economics and business shows that the former provides a more accurate and comprehensive measure of journal impact.
