Ranking Authors and Institutions by Publications in Regional Science Journals: 2010-2014.

In this paper, authors and institutions are ranked based on the number of publications in 10 core regional science journals during the period 2010-2014. Alternative rankings are constructed by considering only publications in the top four of the 10 journals and also by adjusting for journal impact factors. Two impact factors are calculated for each regional science journal. The first is based on citations by the other nine core regional science journals, and the second by citations from all journals in the database Scopus. Discussion is included regarding the patterns and consistency of the rankings across alternative criteria. Comparisons also are made to previous regional science publication rankings of authors and institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
