Atsushi,

Fred Lee did yeoman work on journal rankings from a critical perspective. Essentially, he took conventional rankings to task as they did not properly calculate "heterodox" journal contributions. If I remember rightly, "heterodox" included HET journals. Here's one citation, but there are more.

Lee, Frederick S., Cronin, Bruce C., McConnell, Scott and Dean, Erik (2010) Research quality rankings of heterodox economic journals in a contested dscipline. American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 69 (5). pp. 1409-1452. ISSN 0002-9246 (Print), 1536-7150 (Online) (doi:10.1111/j.1536-7150.2010.00751.x)

Subject: [SHOE] journal ranking system

Dear shoe members,


I am looking for some literature on journal ranking system.
It would be better if it also considers the history of economic
thought.

I have found two papers:

[1] Ritzberger, K. (2008) “A Ranking of Journals in Economics and
Related Fields”, German Economic Review, 9(4), pp. 402-430.

[2] Palacio-Puerta, I. and O. Voliji (2004) “The Measurement of
Intellectual Influence”, Econometrica, 72(3), pp. 963-977.

Best regards,
