Doing a bibliometric study of political science, history, economics and looking for journals that have been relatively central to English-language scholarship over a long print run. Need to have a few that were central early on (1930-1950). Recommendations? #history#polisci#econ
@TedUnderwood The big five in Econ are all pretty long running (and influential back that far at least): QJE, AER, JPE, Econometrica for sure, not as sure on the history of Review of Economic Statistics. Add to that The Economic Journal which was v influential in the first half of 20c when more of the action was in the UK.
@scott_bot I should pick your brain, because this is going to get into more bibliometrics than I've done yet. Probably there's going to be a textual model that extends from say 1920 to 2020, and then a reception model that only tries to cover some internal subset of that (like 1930-2010). But yeah, incomparability of citation statistics across time is something that was nagging at me. I can certainly normalize for year, but that might not address everything ...
