ESB used the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science database for the period 2019–2023 to calculate the scores and compile the list of economists with the most international top publications. Only articles published in journals within the domain of Economics were included, provided at least 1 author was affiliated with a Dutch university at the time of publication. The Economics domain for this ranking is defined as including all journals listed in the Tinbergen Journal List, or the top journals in the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) Journal List.
