3. Kalaitzidakiset al.(2003) weight the journals according to the number of citations from each journal, but this weight is a value judgement and this still leaves open the choice of journal set and time period

5. A reviewer also pointed out that economics professors tend to be mainstream economists and that this could result in a lower ranking of “heterodox” economics journals than people working in that field might consider appropriate
6. I believe that a Head of the Department of Economics (HoD) circulated their data on journals to all economics professors (using a list that I supplied in response to the Head’s request)
7. ESA has treated the names of respondents as confidential. The names have been provided on a confidential basis (but not with detailed responses of the respondents) to the Australian Research Council (ARC)
