ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
We are hugely grateful to the Editors, Methodologists and members o f the Scientific Committee w itho ut w hom the Academic
Journal Guide 2015 would not be possible.The work they have carried o ut to analyse data, consult w ith subject communities
and find consensus has led to an impressive and robust Guide to the range, subject matter and quality o f journals in which
business and management academics publish their research. With their hard work we have a Guide which is genuinely
based upon peer review, along w ith editorial and expert judgements following from the evaluation o f many hundreds
of publications.
We are also very thankful to the founding Editors o f the Guide.The ABS Guide'was originally created and then published in
2009 through the initiative of Professor Charles Harvey, Aldan Kelly, Professor Huw Morris, and Professor Michael Rowlinson.
Supported by their peer com m unity they have helped produce a very valuable service to the business and management
academic community. This 2015 edition o f the Guide continues and builds on their work.
Finally, we must thankThomson Reuters for the permission to use their JCR data, and Elsevier for the use of their SNIP and SJR

EDITORS INTRODUCTION
The Purpose and Features of the
Academic Journal Guide
Welcome to the Association of Business Schools Academic
Journal Guide (the Guide). The Guide is based upon
peer review, editorial and expert judgem ents follow ing
the evaluation o f many hundreds of publications, and is

The Guide is distinctive in that, unlike other journal guides,

it is not based purely on some weighted average o f journal
metrics. Rather, the Guide reflects the perceptions o f the
Editors, informed by the Scientific Committee and by expert
peers and scholarly associations w ith w hom they consulted
as to the relative standing o f journals in each subject area.
As a consequence, there is no mechanistic metrics based
formula that will capture the published ratings.

informed by statistical information relating to citation. It is

a guide to the range, subject matter and relative quality of
journals in which business and management academics
publish their research.

On occasion, the ratings o f some journals, when based purely

on such metrics, do not reflect the views o f the relevant
academic community. Our purpose therefore was to produce
a guide that took into consideration this subjective input.

The primary motivation o f the Editors and the Scientific

Committee is to provide a level playing field. Emerging
scholars w ill have greater clarity as to which journals to
aim for, and where the best work in their field tends to be
clustered. By the same measure, publication in top journals

representing individual subject areas) were provided with a

cases, were not able to follow the initial advice given, leading to
a process o f further consultation and compromise.
The Guide is not intended to be a fully comprehensive
one, given, inter alia, the problems o f demarcating what is
either business and management research and/or relevant
to it, and what is not. Inclusion in the Guide is wholly at
the discretion o f the Editors and the Scientific Committee,
and no undertakings have been made that all journals will
have been included. Non-inclusion in the Guide should not
necessarily be taken as a judgm ent o f journal quality, b ut may
reflect a wide range o f factors, ranging from the aims and
scope o f the journal that lie outside the scope of business
and management studies to, quite simply, the Scientific
Committee and those they consulted, n ot encountering
sufficient evidence on which to formulate an opinion.
As outlined in the m ethodology section, the Guide builds on
the previous ABS Guide 2010; and the Editors o f this Guide
owe a debt of gratitude to the Editors and Scholarly Experts

METHODOLOGY
The brief agreed between the Editorial Team and the Chair
o f the Academic Journal Guide Management Board can be
summarised as follows:
I.

The Guide should be designed primarily to serve the

needs of the business and management research
community, in terms of both helping authors identify
suitable outlets for their work, and where work o f a
particular level is likely to be clustered.

II. The Guide should classify journals into four categories

(1 to 4) plus a Journal of Distinction category, which
recognises the quality of those journals ranked as a top'
class journal in at least three o ut of five international
listings consulted.

III. The classification process should be stringent

V. The Editors put forward the final classification of

all journals included in the Guide, following full
consideration of feedback on the last version of the
ABS Guide 201 O'and the recommendations made by a
panel o f experts representing the main sub-disciplines
w ithin the field.

VI. The Editors should publish and justify their working

methods and their approach to the issues o f classification
in a written methodology.
Whilst acknowledging the excellent work o f their
predecessors, we need to also acknowledge that the Guide
differs from the ABS Guide 2010'in that it includes additional
metrics (e.g. the SNIP), whilst the Scientific Committee
is much larger.

and methodical in all cases, embracing five

sources o f evidence:
a. The assessments of leading researchers in each o f the
main fields and sub-fields covered;
b. The mean citation impact scores for the most recent
five-year period (where available);
c. Evaluation by the Editors and Scientific Committee
members o f the quality standards, track
records, contents and processes o f each journal
included in the Guide;
d. The number o f times the journal was cited
as a to p journal in five lists taken to be
representative o f the 'world' rating of business and
management journals; and
e. The length o f tim e a journal has been established.
Note that any newly established journals as well as
more established journals that were not in the previous
'ABS Guide 201 O' enter w ith a maximum rating o f
3 other than in exceptional circumstances.

IV. The Guide should be comprehensive in the coverage o f

research conducted in business schools internationally,
covering a w ide range o f disciplines, fields and
sub-fields w ithin the social sciences and taking an
inclusive approach to w hat constitutes business and
management research.

Journals o f Distinction. W ithin the business and management field including economics, there are a small number o f grade 4 journals
that are recognised world-wide as exemplars o f excellence. Their high status Is acknowledged by their inclusion In a num ber of
well-regarded international journal quality lists. The Guide normally rates a journal 4* if they are rated in the highest category by at
least three o u t o f the five non-university based listings - Financial Times 45, Dallas List, VHB, Australian Deans' List, CNRS. In addition,
journals from core social sciences disciplines th a t do no t appear in those listings may also be rated 4* on th e grounds th a t they are
clearty o f the finest quality and o f undisputed relevance to business and management. In the Guide o f 2015, this applies to three
journals from the fields o f sociology and psychology.

All journals rated 4, whether Included in th e Journal o f Distinction category or not, publish the m ost original and best-executed
research. As top journals in their field, these journals typically have high submission and lo w acceptance rates. Papers are heavily

3 rated journals publish original and well executed research papers and are highly regarded. These journals typically have good

there is an issue surrounding journal downgrades; as many

o f the Scientific Committee and the Editors met w ith the
Scientific Committee in London on July 11th, 2014. This
allowed the Committee as a whole to review the proposed
ratings o f the journals under consideration in their entirety.
The Chief Methodologists explained that inflation o f grades
was an issue to be avoided, and that we would request
further modification o f the proposed ratings in light o f this.
Fourth, the Editors then suggested modifications, informed
by further correspondence and consultation w ith Scientific
Committee members, and a further round o f evaluation

further information and possible modification o f ratings on
the basis o f the proportion of journals proposed in each

narrow path between working to ensure that representatives
of the scholarly community have a real say in the Guide,
and that as diverse a range o f research is recognised as
practically possible, whilst at the same tim e ensuring rigour
and making hard choices so that the currency is not unduly
debased. Disagreements were resolved through negotiation,
made possible by a shared common purpose o f fairness
and the need to recognise excellence in the business and
management fields covered by the Guide.The Editors were
able to gain further insights into the specific dynamics o f each
field through discussions w ith the experts, and the latter were
able to gain a better understanding o f the problems of an
overall tragedy of the commons scenario should too many
journals in too many areas be upgraded.

(or even the JOD category) that are w orth considering for his
or her work. Others may feel that a 2 rating is w hat matters,
as it sets these journals apart from those that are rated 1.
Still others may find that a 1 rating is a useful indicator in that
it indicates the journal meets normal scholarly standards,
including a general expectation o f peer review.

A Note a b o u t Increases in th e N um ber o f Journals w ith

a 3 o r 4 Rating
It is im portant to remember that an additional number o f 4s
or 3s in the Guide will not necessarily mean th at there will
be a similar proportionate increase in the amount of work in
business and management categorised as falling into 3 or 4
w ithin a particular national context. Indeed, the awarding of
a 4 rating to a journal that only carries a very small number
o f articles a year by business and management scholars
will have a very limited effect. In contrast, the award of a 3
rating to a journal that publishes a large number o f articles a
year on business and management topics will have a more
significant one.
Again, the average number of articles carried by a journal
within a particular issue w ill affect how much work is
published in 3 or 4 rated outlets in a particular field. In terms
of categorising research in a particular national context, the
proportion o f work by local scholars typically carried by that
journal is an im portant considering factor; many journals
are dominated by contributors from one nationality, and
not another. For example, the award o f a high rating to a
journal that carries little work by scholars in business and
management w ill have little effect, although o f course,
it may encourage more submissions from business and
management scholars in future. A note o f caution is also
urged in looking at the proportion o f 3 and 4 rated journals
in a particular field; again, the proportion o f 3s and 4s will
to a large extent be a product of the number o f 1 rated
journals included. In very large areas, there is likely to be a
large number of journals w ith low ratings. Hence, readers of
the ABS Guide are cautioned against simply counting the
number o f 3 and 4 rated journals in a particular field, and
comparing the result w ith other fields. Any conclusions that
do n ot take these issues into account m ight be misleading.

rich grounds for including scholarly judgm ent in the rating of
