Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of The American Journal of Economics and Sociology (AJES) to identify and quantify the impact of its key contributors and most influential publications. Using a comprehensive dataset drawn from scholarly databases, we analyze citation metrics to identify both the most impactful authors (based on total citations) and the most‐cited individual articles. The findings reveal a core group of high‐impact contributors and a thematic alignment in high‐impact articles that shape the journal's discourse over 25 years. This quantitative portrait offers insights into the intellectual structure and scholarly community of AJES, highlighting the authors and articles central to its rising reputation and long‐standing mission.
