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.

I upgraded JFutMkts and JIFMIM, agreed on former. -
This NOT, pusher retards.
Econometrica and ReStud have no single paper on finance, case closed.
JBF~JFQA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> new crap such as RoF, JCF, RAPS.
JME, JFI, JMCB only occasionally publish finance papers, and those finance papers are not that good.
All in all, the categories in decreasing order are
AER, QJE, JF, JFE, RFS, MS
JBF, JFQA
other new crap such as RoF, JCF, RAPS
other old crap such as FM, JEF, JFMand then there are the unclassified: JME, JFI, JMCB, JEconometrics, JBES. These journals dont publish finance, so a finance paper there might be complete crap, although these are not bad journals for other fields.
