We consider the relationship between the rankings and the title length of 555 economics journals. We find that there is a significant association between these two metrics as well as between the title length and the citations index that determines the rankings. Short journal titles are associated with high citation levels.
 
 
Keywords: Journal rankings, journal titles, citations index
