Abstract

In a letter to the editor, Moussa (2021) questions the impact of review articles on the ranking and indicators of journals. Applied to the management and economics FT50 journals (Fassin Scientometr 126:5911–5943, 2021), the analysis reveals that this bias is rather limited. Except for a few journals identified by Moussa, the ranking of the journal’s h-indexes does not alter significantly.
