In 2025, Review of Network Economics had an OJR of 0.13: its 2022–2024 papers received 13% of the world-average citations for comparable papers. Its Impact factor (2-year) was 0.31. Both figures are calculated from OpenAlex data. Not ranked in 2025: 24 citable documents in 2022–2024, below the 30-document minimum. Last eligible ranking: Q4 in Strategy and Management, 2020.

Review of Network Economics has no quartile in OpenJournalRank’s 2025 ranking. OJR quartiles are calculated independently of SCImago, Scopus and JCR quartiles.

OJR · 2025

The OpenJournalRank Indicator (OJR) is a free, publicly available metric of a journal’s field-normalized citation impact, computed from open OpenAlex citation data. It compares citations to a journal’s papers from the previous three years with the world average for papers of the same subfield, year and type, so 1.00 is the world average and values can be compared across fields. It is computed with the NCI3 method. For 2025 it counts non-self citations to the articles, reviews and conference papers a journal published in 2022–2024. Ranks and quartiles order journals by OJR within the subfield, the field and all journals.

Impact factor (2-year) · 2025

The Impact factor (2-year) counts citations made in 2025 to the articles, reviews and conference papers a journal published in the two previous years (2023–2024), divided by the number of those papers. Self-citations count; citations from repository-hosted works do not. It is not normalized by field. Clarivate’s Journal Impact Factor™ uses the same basic formula but gives different numbers, and this site does not show it. Clarivate also counts citations to editorials, news and letters while dividing only by articles and reviews. OpenAlex sets document types automatically. The citing data differ: OpenAlex links references for most but not all works, and we leave out repository-hosted citing works. Publication years and snapshot dates also differ. Because of these differences, our value can be higher or lower than the JIF for a given journal, so don’t compare the two directly.

Why is it different?

Journals usually quote Clarivate’s Journal Impact Factor™ (JIF).
Same idea: citations this year to papers from the past two years, divided by those papers.
The JIF also counts citations to editorials, news and letters but divides only by research papers. We count citations to research papers only.
Different citation data (OpenAlex, not Web of Science) and timing.

So the two numbers can differ, in either direction, and the size of the difference has not been established. Compare ours with other journals here, not with the JIF.

OJR rank in each category · 2020

The badge is the quartile; Q1 is the top quarter of ranked journals. Each track runs from the bottom of the category (left) to the top (right), shaded by quartile. The bold marker is this journal and the thin tick the category median. The outlined box is the likely rank range: the 95% interval from re-drawing the journal’s papers 1,000 times. “Spans Q1–Q2” means that range crosses a quartile boundary.

Detailed breakdown

The figures behind the charts, written out in full.

The two headline numbers

OJR is OpenJournalRank’s index, computed with the NCI3 method. It divides the non-self citations that papers published in 2022–2024 received in 2025 by the citations expected for papers of the same subfield, publication year and type worldwide. For 2022–2024, papers in this journal received 13% of the citations expected worldwide for comparable papers.

The Impact factor (2-year) is simpler: citations made in 2025 to the papers published in 2023 and 2024, divided by the number of those papers. For this journal it was 0.31, down from 0.36 in 2024 (-12.5%). It counts self-citations and is not adjusted for field, so a value of 5 means something different in economics and in molecular biology.

This value is computed from OpenAlex and is not Clarivate’s Journal Impact Factor™. The two use different citation sources and different rules for which items count, so the numbers will not match. Across all core journals, 84.3% of articles and reviews published in 2025 have at least one matched reference in OpenAlex (87.1% in 2024). This is a corpus-wide share: it does not measure how complete any one journal’s reference lists are, and no value on this page is adjusted for it.

How this score was computed

Citations made in 2025 to articles, reviews and conference papers published in 2022–2024. Actual and Expected include only papers with a subfield.

What it publishes

In 2022–2024, the journal published 24 citable papers (articles, reviews and conference papers).

Among papers with a subfield: 29% in Strategy and Management, 21% in Media Technology, 13% in Marketing, 13% in Economics and Econometrics, and 8% in Finance.

Subjects follow OpenAlex’s primary-subfield classification, which may differ from a journal’s stated scope.

Among papers with a known author affiliation country: United States (22%), France (17%), South Korea (13%), South Africa (13%), and Austria (9%). Author affiliations span 15 countries in this window. A paper counts toward each country it lists, so shares can total more than 100%.

Open-access status among papers with a known status: closed (71%) and hybrid (29%).
