H-Index for Journals

In an earlier rant, I suggested that journals move from tracking inane citation "impact factors" to citation "H indexes" or similar, just as routinely done when evaluating individual authors. It turns out that RePEc already does it, here. There are literally many thousands of journals ranked. I show the top 25 below. Interestingly, four "field" journals actually make the top 10, effectively making them "super (uber?) field journals" (J. Finance, J. Financial Economics, J. Monetary Economics, and J. Econometrics). For example, J. Econometrics is basically indistinguishable from Review of Economic Studies.
