I would not be that Harsh! But JFQA is strictly better than RoF that I agree for sure!
in US, RoF is equivalent to Managerial Finance.

What has been missing in this discussion is consideration of the quality of the paper. Journals make type 1 and type 2 errors. Many JF papers are never cited, and papers rejected by the top journals can sometimes have great impact. "The equity premium puzzle" by Mehra and Prescott in the Journal of Monetary Economics is an example that comes to mind. The Black-Scholes paper was rejected previous to publication. This is why you should read papers and make up your mind, rather than "count" as in ABCD.
