Evaluating Economic Research in a Contested Discipline: Ranking, Pluralism, and the Future of Heterodox Economics

Frederic S. Lee,Wolfram Elsner

This book challenges the view that using SSCI journal citations (especially its impact factor score) and peer review/evaluation are the best ways (in that they are the most objective ways) to evaluate economic research. This title covers such topics as: First extensive ranking of heterodox economics journals; First ranking of mainstream and heterodox journals; Ranking of mainstream and heterodox graduate programs in the US; Impact of national research assessment exercises on heterodox economics in Italy and Australia; and, Use of social network analysis to examine the diffusion of heterodox economics - Critique of the use of citation metrics and heterodox economics. Social Science Citation Index with respect to economics is deliberately biased in favour of mainstream journals.
