Abstract

To broaden the perspective of journal impact assessment and mitigate the over-reliance on traditional citation metrics,this article integrates academic indicators from editorial teams for a multidimensional evaluation study of journal impact. It examines the unique role of editorial influence;and develops an evaluation model that focuses on editorial influence,academic impact,and societal impact. The study empirically analyzes the top 30 economics journals ranked by impact factor. The results indicate a strong correlation between a journal's societal and academic impact,with editorial influence providing a distinct value. The multidimensional impact evaluation model,which includes editorial influence,performs better in assessing the long-term impact of journals.

Key words
