Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of scientific journals in shaping European economic landscape through an analysis of selected journal citation metrics: ASEJ Scientific Journal of Bielsko-Biala School of Finance and Law. The research will assess current trends, highlight best practices in academic dissemination, and suggest innovative editorial and promotional strategies to boost the observed and similar journals’ scholarly influence in the academic community. It attempts to answer the following research questions: what factors are shaping the citation metrics of the scientific economic journals, and how can innovative editorial and promotional strategies be leveraged to boost the role of a scientific journal in European economic research? How can authors and editors in a journal break the closed loop of needing citations to be indexed, while simultaneously needing indexing to be cited? This study employs a mixed-methods approach combining both quantitative bibliometric analysis and qualitative content analysis, and it not only evaluates current citation practices but also offers actionable strategies to enhance scholarly impact, making it a valuable resource for editors, researchers, and academic policy makers interested in elevating the influence of scientific journals.
