推荐语 不管是基于影响因子还是通过专家“打分”，对期刊进行排名，给出Top5，或者Top10的名单，总是会引起各种争议。但是不可否认，无论是国内期刊还是国外期刊，一些“公认”好期刊上的文章的确是学术界新人“入坑”最好的学习材料。当新进入一个研究领域，要找到“线头”的时候，这些好期刊也是必不可少的参考资料。这篇推文是我在朋友圈看到斌磊（龚斌磊博士是近年来迅速“窜升”的青年经济学家，浙江大学公管学院研究员，也是我的学弟，我们团队的学术顾问）的转发，推荐给团队挑选素材用的，谁知他们选择在三农大数据上转发，也挺好。再次感谢斌磊提供素材！

A question from a graduate student:

来自一个研究生的问题：

Based on our conversation about my interests, what are the most important ones (5? perhaps more?) that I should be paying attention to?

基于我们之前聊到的，关于我的研究兴趣，哪些是我最应该注意的?

If there is some blog post you could point me to about the taxonomy of the field, I would be appreciative. I have heard the term “top 5 journals” thrown around a lot but I couldn’t tell you which ones they were, moreover I’m not sure if general top 5 econ = top 5 development.

如果您能给我一些关于这个领域分类的博客文章，我将不胜感激。我经常听到“前5名期刊”这个词，但我不能告诉你它们是哪些，而且我也不确定前5名经济学期刊是否等于前5名发展经济学期刊。

My answer, edited for clarity and grammar:

为了清晰和语法正确，我的答案经过了编辑:

Good question! Traditionally the top five journals in economics are: the American Economic Review, Econometrica, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Political Economy, and the Review of Economic Studies.

好问题！传统上排名前五的经济学期刊是:the American Economic Review(AER),Econometrica, the Quarterly Journal of Economics(QJE), the Journal of Political Economy(JPE)和the Review of Economic Studies(RES)。

I say “traditionally,” because there are now seven or eight “top-five” journals. Taking the five I mentioned, you can add the Review of Economics and Statistics, the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, and the Economic Journal, and maybe even the new the American Economic Review: Insights and the Journal of the European Economic Association.

我说“传统上”，是因为现在有七、八种“前五名”期刊。我提到的五本，加上the Review of Economics and Statistics, the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics和the Economic Journal，甚至是新出版的the American Economic Review: Insights和the Journal of the European Economic Association。

In development economics, the top journals are the Journal of Development Economics, Economic Development and Cultural Change, World Development, the World Bank Economic Review, and the Journal of Development Studies.

在发展经济学方面，最顶尖的期刊是the Journal of Development Economics, Economic Development and Cultural Change, World Development, the World Bank Economic Review和the Journal of Development Studies。

In agricultural economics, the American Journal of Agricultural Economics is top (historically, if not by impact factor) along with Food Policy, Agricultural Economics, Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, and maybe the European Review of Agricultural Economics.

在农业经济学方面，the American Journal of Agricultural Economics与 Food Policy, Agricultural Economics, Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy并列第一(从历史上看，如果不考虑影响因子的话)。

It’s hard to subscribe to just five table-of-contents emails, to be honest. Five is what you’d get in a field, but most development folks are interested in one other field (agricultural economics in my case), and then you have to know what’s published in top general journals because they often publish things that are germane to your research interests.

老实说，很难选择哪五份期刊来订阅。在一个领域你可以选出五份期刊来，但大多数发展经济学的研究人员会对其他领域感兴趣(比如我还对农业经济学感兴趣)，然后你必须知道在顶级综合期刊上发表了什么，因为他们经常发表与你的研究兴趣领域密切相关的文章。

I should also have added: Among the general sciences journals, which often publish stuff of relevance to agricultural, development, and environmental economists, the top three are Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Science.

我还应该补充一点:在经常发表与农业、发展和环境经济学家相关内容的普通科学类期刊中，排名前三的是Nature、Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences和Science。

Over the years, I’ve found that the best way to keep up (short of having a departmental librarian who emails you the tables of contents you are interested in every time those journals release a new issue, as is the case in our department), is via RSS feed. Most journals have an RSS feed that you can subscribe to with a reader. I used to use Google Reader, but Google did away with it, and so now I use feedly, which is free (and is also how I keep up with blogs).

多年来，我发现保持期刊更新的最好方法是通过RSS订阅。大多数期刊都有RSS订阅源，你可以用阅读器进行订阅。我以前用谷歌阅读器（Google Reader），但是谷歌把它抛弃了，所以现在我用feedly，这是免费的(这也是我关注博客的方式)。
