Google Scholar, Google’s specialized search engine for scholarly literature, uses the h-index to measure the impact of scholarly articles. Created by University of California, San Diego physicist Jorge E. Hirsch in 2005, the h-index is one of several attempts to quantify the productivity and quality of scholars. The index is a relatively simple measurement, using only the most highly-cited articles in its formulation.
Though designed to rank the contributions of individual scientists, the h-index can also be applied to researchers and publications, and according to Professor Hirsch the index will also give reasonably accurate rankings for arts and humanities journals, though it will be less reliable for individual researchers given the book-driven nature of the discipline.
Though the top two history journals are both economics-focused (and the Journal of Economic History is noted for its cliometric approach), Hirsch says that the h-index does not favor quantitative over non-quantitative research.

When I first saw this question posed by History News Network I immediately thought the most influential history journal would be The American Historical Review (AHR) followed closely by the The Journal of American History (JAH).
I could not have been more wrong. The AHR finished fourth and the JAH finished fifteenth.
The most influential journal is actually The Journal of Economic History followed by The Economic History Review and Journal of Latin American Studies.
Here is a taste of the explanation behind the rankings:

Interesting.
