Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the past experience of ranking of journals and Economics departments in Greece. Design/methodology/approach The paper provides a critical assessment of rankings on heterodox economists in Greece. Findings Modeled after the Anglo‐American patterns, albeit unofficial, ranking had a detrimental impact on heterodox economics in terms of hiring and promotion, and of the subject content of academic programmes. Research limitations/implications This tendency is expected to continue and to be reinforced in the future with the upcoming standardized rankings. However, quality research assessment in higher education has been and still is being heavily disputed across Greek universities on academic, politico‐economic and social grounds. Originality/value This is the first critical assessment of rankings on heterodox economists in Greece
