Abstract
The relative significance of research published in eight actuarial journals is evaluated by examining the frequency
of citations in 16 risk, insurance, and actuarial journals during the years 1996 through 2000. First, the frequency with which each sample journal cites itself and the other journals is provided so as to communicate the degree to which each journal’s published research has had an influence on the other sample journals. Then the 16 journals are divided into 1) the actuarial journal group and 2) the risk and insurance journal group. The actuarial journals are then ranked based on their total number of citations including and excluding selfcitations. Also, a ranking of journals within the actuarial journal group is provided based on the journals’ influence on a per article published basis. Finally, the most frequently cited articles from the actuarial journals are observed and reported.
