The relative significance of research published in 13 insurance and actuarial journals is evaluated by examining the frequency of citations in 13 insurance and actuarial journals and 16 of the leading finance journals from 1991 through 1995. The insurance and actuarial journals are ranked according to the total number of citations found during this period and the average relative "impact" of a journal's articles on future research. The study reveals the degree to which knowledge is communicated through the sample insurance and actuarial journals by observing the frequency with which these journals are cited by one another. Finally, the most frequently cited articles from the sample insurance and actuarial journals are observed and reported.
