ITS Journal Rankings · Open access
Top open-access journals in Economics, Econometrics and Finance
Ranked journals listed in DOAJ (the Directory of Open Access Journals), ordered by the ITS Journal Score (2021–2025, open OpenAlex data). Fees are shown where DOAJ records them.
447 of the 1,830 ranked journals in Economics, Econometrics and Finance (24%) are listed in DOAJ. Together they published 115,818 papers in 2021–2025; the median journal published 135 papers.
DOAJ listing is checked against DOAJ's open data. A journal missing here may still publish open access (for example if it is not in DOAJ or has not been checked yet). "Not recorded" in the fee column means DOAJ has no fee on record for that journal; check the journal's website.
Fee data is incomplete, including for some large publishers: a fee is recorded for 96 of the 447 journals in this list. A blank fee does not mean the journal is free.

Other journal rankings
Transparent methodology
How the ITS Journal Score works
One formula applies to every ranked journal, using open data from OpenAlex: 45% citation impact, 35% h-index and 20% size (papers published 2021–2025). Citation impact is the smaller of the journal's two-year mean citedness and its five-year citations per paper, so a journal whose output collapsed cannot jump to the top on old citations. Each part is half a percentile and half a log-scaled value, so the very top is still separated. Growth and open-access share are shown separately and are not part of the score.
A journal is ranked only if it published at least 50 papers in 2021–2025 and was active in at least five of the last six years. Field rankings compare a journal only with journals in the same field; the field is the OpenAlex field with most of the journal's recent papers, or "Multidisciplinary" when no field has 30% of them.
What this is not: the ITS Journal Score is not a Journal Impact Factor, CiteScore or SJR, and this site does not say whether a journal is indexed in Scopus, Web of Science or PubMed. Always confirm aims and scope, indexing, peer review and fees on the journal's own website before you submit.
