Business Journal Rankings

Business Journal Rankings


Journal rankings in the Business area are one of the interesting issues that academics in business schools like to talk about. There are many issues that rankings of Business journals have to confront such as the number of times articles in a journal are cited, the reputation and perception of the journal amongst Business School academics, the history of the journal, the impact factor of the journal, the editorial board and editor of the journal, the number of "classic" articles the journal has published, the rejection rate of the journal, the reputation of the authors that publish in the journal and the status of their respective Business Schools. Then other issues include the current momentum of the journal etc. Another issue concerns whether the journal is a leading "field journal" in a particular area of the Business discipline, for example, is it a leading journal in the areas of strategy, human resources, marketing, international business etc. As result there are a number of ranking tables and systems used to rank Business journals and below we list the most well known rankings of Business Journals.

Professor Anne-Wil Harzing Journal Quality List is a collation of journal rankings from a variety of sources.

Due to its comprehensiveness it is one of the most valuable ranking out there.
