The aim of this study is to compare finance articles published in highest-impact journals and developing country–addressed journals from a bibliometric perspective. For this purpose, it compares finance papers published in the Turkish-originated journals Journal of Economics, Business and Finance (IIF) and Journal of Accounting and Finance (known as Mufad) with those published in the world’s most influential journals, Journal of Finance (JOF) and the Review of Financial Studies (RFS), in terms of research collaboration, author self-citation, average length, average age of reference, and JEL category, for the period covering 2010–2014. Our results show that Turkey-addressed journals have a smaller average number of authors, number of references, and author self-citation compared with high-impact journals. However, we also observe in comparison that Turkish female academicians have made more contributions to the finance literature, and the average article length (in page numbers) is increasing in Turkish journals. Finally, Turkish academicians are more likely to be generalists, compared with Western Academicians, who tend to concentrate in narrower research fields.Keywords: Finance studies, bibliometric analysis, comparative analysis, journal rankings, finance journals.JEL Classification: G00, M20
