Network Bibliometrics of Public Policy Journals

Analyses of academic networks typically rely on bibliometric data to reveal intellectual structures and communication links. Using data compiled from Journal Citation Reports, this research reports the key networks of seven general public policy journals: Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Journal of Public Policy, Policy Sciences, Policy Studies, Policy Studies Journal, and Public Choice. Two journals had strong links to economics journals, three had moderately strong links to political science journals, and two were highly multidisciplinary. Articles in these seven journals seldom referenced each other but more often cited prominent political science and economics journals; self‐citations were comparatively high. Often cited by journals across a wide range of fields, six of these seven policy journals have achieved high citation rates that put them in the top tiers of journals
