Academic research in modern finance has been developing over the last decades. Many important contributions have been published in the main journals of the field. This paper analyzes scholarly research in finance by using bibliometric indicators. The main results are summarized in three fundamental issues. First, the citation structure in finance is presented. Next, the paper studies the influence of financial journals by using a wide range of indicators including publications, citations and the h-index. The paper ends with an overview of the most influential papers. In general, the results are in accordance with the expectations where the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics and the Review of Financial Studies are the most popular journals and the USA is clearly the dominant country in finance.
