Intra- and Interdisciplinary Communication of Economics Journals RIK PIETERS and HANS BAUMGARTNER' 1. Introduction A RTICLES IN JOURNALS cite articles in the same and other journals to ac- knowledge their intellectual inspiration and to identify the sources of their theo- ries, models, methods, and data. A refer- ence to an article in a journal indicates that the cited article is a relevant piece of knowledge and sufficiently important to bring to the attention of other schol- ars. Citation analysis aims to describe the flow of communication between journals in a network and to understand the influence of journals in the network in terms of the citations they receive from other journals. Prior citation analy- sis in economics has emphasized the in- fluence or impact of economics journals (M. Burton and E. Phimister 1995; A. Diamond 1989; David Laband and Michael Piette 1994; S. Liebowitz and J. Palmer 1984; Richard Quandt 1976). Much less research, however, has exam- ined the patterns of communication be- tween journals and groups of related journals in economics (Robert Eagly 1975; George Stigler, Stephen Stigler, and Claire Friedland 1995). As a conse- quence, a good deal is known about the relative standing of journals, i.e., who is important. Yet, much remains to be learned about the structure of the infor- mation flows between journals,
