Google released its Scholar Metrics for 2024, which covers scholarly articles published in 2019 –2023.
The list of high-impact journals is a resource for finding top-cited scholarly articles, and is a gauge of the visibility and influence of an author’s work.
In the all-category list of 100 top journals, Science is no. 4. That journal published “Create a Culture of Experiments in Environmental Programs,” coauthored by the Daniels School’s Tim Cason, in August 2023.
In an article meant to influence the delivery of policy, Cason and coauthors make a prominent call to promote formal experimentation in the design and implementation of environmental regulations. This includes critical policies to limit climate change and its impacts, as well as important human health outcomes and biodiversity affects arising from other types of pollution.
They note that the social value of this work, if followed by policymakers, is profound.
The piece, subtitled “Organizations need a better ‘learning by doing’ approach,” appeared in volume 381 of Science.
Only publications with at least 100 articles in the last five years are included in the 2024 Scholar Metrics. Learn more about Google Scholar metrics.
