Abstract

We provide a comprehensive examination of heterodox economics journals based on bibliometric data and social networkanalysis. We provide an updated ranking of the journals considered in a seminal contribution by Fred Lee and Bruce Cronin.We raise doubts on all rankings based on extensive definitions of heterodox (or heterodox‐friendly) journals by identifyinginternally cohesive subcommunities of journals that hardly communicate with each other. In contrast, there exists a group of 14core heterodox economics journals that form an internally cohesive group. We derive a ranking of these journals and analyse itsdynamics over the last decade and a half.
