台灣經濟學期刊之再評比

A RE EVALUATION OF ECONOMICS JOURNALS IN TAIWAN

本文延續朱敬一等(1997)對本土期刊進行再評比。與朱敬一等(1997) 不同的是，我們引入期刊評鑑小組第三者之審查意見，以沖淡一般研究者與期刊主編這兩類問卷調查對象因利害關係可能造成的調查偏誤，並彌補國內文獻引用頻率過低的問題。同時，為因應TSSCI逐漸放寬收錄期刊之趨勢，我們試圖建構符合台灣經濟研究環境的期刊評鑑量化架構。整體而言，《經濟論文》與《經濟論文叢刊》在各項指標中之評價最高。此外，我們利用前述主客觀指標之標準化分數進行加權平均，建構綜合評比指標，並以靴帶抽樣法檢定期刊間是否存在顯著的群組關係。結果顯示，受評期刊卻可區分為四大群組，而其中《經濟論文》與《經濟論文叢刊》可歸屬於最佳的第一群組。

This study re-evaluates the quality of economics journals in Taiwan, following Chu et al. (1997). The study is differentiated from Chu et al. by introducing an independent thirdparty panel, composed of distinguished scholars of the fields, to evaluate the journals. It is intended to mitigate the problems of the inadequate number of citations among journals in Taiwan, and also of the subjective response bias of the journal editors and researchers. To cope with a possible expansion of the journal list in TSSCI, we try to establish an informative ranking scheme. Information from surveys, professional evaluations, and citation counts are combined and analyzed with statistical methods. The journals are sorted into 4 tiers based on the results. Both Academia Economic Papers and Taiwan Economic Review appear to be in the top tier.
