  • 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
  • Use of social network analysis to examine the diffusion of heterodox economicsCritique 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
