2 JOURNAL QUALITY LIST EXPLANATORY NOTES INTRODUCTION The Journal Quality List is published primarily to assist researchers within a subject area to target papers at journals of an appropriate standard. We would be concerned if the list were used for staff evaluation purposes in a mechanistic way. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the Journal Quality List, we recommend that it be checked before used extensively for evaluation purposes. We will not be held responsible for any omissions or errors. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The first version of the JQL was collated when the editor was employed by the University of Bradford School of Management (UBSM). The editor gratefully acknowledges the assistance and contributions of the following people: Kathy Cousens (UBSM) for the initial data entry work, Jos Benders, Yehuda Baruch, Graham Hooley and Gunther Maier for pointing out and supplying me with various journal ranking lists, and my former colleagues at the University of Bradford School of Management for their feedback. Special thanks is due to Marieke Mensch-Mathijsen, librarian at the Technical University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands who supplied me with a list of ISSN numbers and corrected many journal titles. SUBJECT AREA (ABBREVIATIONS): Economics F&A Gen & Strat Innovation Marketing OS, HRM, IR POM PSM QM, MIS & KM Sociology = Economics = Finance & Accounting = General & Strategy = Innovation = Marketing = Organisation Studies, Human Resource Management, Industrial Relations = Production & Operations Management = Public Sector Management = Quantitative Methods, Management Information Systems, Knowledge Management = Sociology CI92, CI97, CI98, CI99, CI00, CI01, CI02 SOCIAL SCIENCE CITATIONS INDEX (1992, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002): The citation impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is defined by the Social Science Citations Index as a ratio between citations and citable items published. The SSCI impact factor is a reasonable and relatively objective assessment of journal impact. Whatever the deficiencies of this measure, it does seem by casual inspection that there is a significant correlation between citation impact and perceived quality. Impact scores for seven years allow the evaluation of trends in journal impact. LAN94 LANCASTER 1994: Based on a polling exercise of selected academics to ascertain their opinion of selected journals. The journals to be evaluated were nominated by the Lancaster Management School not by the assessor. I = enhancing international reputation N = enhancing national reputation 2

3 NL94 NL 1994: List constructed by VSNU (Vereniging Samenwerkende Nederlandse Universiteiten) and based on a survey of Dutch academics in economics and business. Has a bias towards Economics, Finance and Quantitative Methods, but covers all subject areas mentioned above. A = Top publications in heavily refereed journals B = Excellent publications in - mostly - English and heavily refereed journals C = Very good publications in refereed journals D = Good publications in moderately refereed journals E = Publications in other journals NL99 NL 1999: List based on a large survey of opinions of academics in Business Administration in the Netherlands (Professors, Directors of Research Schools & Editorial Board members of Maandblad voor Accountancy & Bedrijfseconomie, Bedrijfskunde, International Journal of Research in Marketing and Journal of Empirical Finance). Please note that this list has a narrower focus than the 1994 list and covers only F&A, General & Strategy, Marketing, OS, QM & MIS. A = Top academic journals A (P) = Top professional journals B = Very good academic journals B (P) = Very good professional journals C = Good academic journals C (P) = Good professional journals NOT95 NOTTINGHAM 1995: List based on a survey of opinions of 397 UK academics from 27 institutions (all institutions rated 5 or 4 in the 1992 RAE and a random selection of 3-rated institutions). Academics were asked to rate a predefined list of journals using a 1-5 scale, where 1 represents the lowest and 5 the highest quality assessment bearing in mind the forthcoming Research Assessment Exercise. Journals with less than 10 responses were not included in the list. BFD97 BRADFORD APPENDIX 1997: This appendix was produced in an attempt to improve upon the grading of journals in the VSNU (NL 1994) listing. This listing was circulated to all members of staff, who were asked to suggest modifications, upon the assumption that A - C grades represented journals of international standing. The list should be read in conjunction with other lists (especially the VSNU 1994 list) and should not be used as a list on its own. A = Top publications in heavily refereed journals B = Excellent publications in - mostly - English and heavily refereed journals C = Very good publications in refereed journals D = Good publications in moderately refereed journals E = Publications in other journals Q = New journals for which judgments on their standing would be premature US98 US 1998: List used for determining doctoral-level graduate faculty status in the US, uses author affiliation indices (AAI). The AAI is the ratio of articles authored by faculty at 60 US universities and colleges with highly rated business programs to total articles authored by faculty at US universities and colleges. As such it is an objective, peer-based measure of the extent to which one competes against faculty at highly rated U.S. universities in order to publish in the journal. Ratings from 0.01 to 1.0 (only those above.20 are included), higher ratings indicate higher level journals. Journals with a 0.00 score are journals that are seen as important, but for which data are not yet available. 3

4 AST99 ASTON 1999: List based on a large survey of opinions of academics of the Midlands universities. 5 = Top international journals (top ten for the discipline) 4 = International standing but not in the top tier 3 = Well regarded national standing journals 2 = Other nationally rated journals 1 = Lower level national journals SMJ99 STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT JOURNAL 1999: Published as Tahai & Meyer (1999), Strategic Management Journal, vol. 20, pp The list attempts to determine which management journals have the greatest influence on the field of management. Uses a dataset of 1275 articles published in 17 source journals (the top 17 management journals in the SSCI) over a 2-year period. Journals that are cited most frequently are those that have had the most influence on the current literature (revealed preference). Journals are ranked by citation proportion (1= most cited, 65 = least cited). HKB00 HONG KONG BAPTIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 2000: List approved by the Executive Committee of HKBU, June Ratings on a A, B+, B and B- scale, where A represents the highest and B- the lowest rating. Journals that were only mentioned on the HKBU list were not included in the Journal Quality List. WIE01 WU WIEN JOURNAL RATING 2001: List developed by the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration). For more information and the complete list see: The list contains over 1700 entries, but only entries in the research areas covered by the current JQL have been included. The list has five categories: A+ Top journals with world-wide distribution and readership; covering the entire scope of a discipline; contributions are scientifically and methodologically most fastidious and innovative; very frequently pioneer work and milestones of the respective discipline; incomprehensible for non-scientists or readers without in-depth method knowledge; toughest competition of authors from all over the world (very high refusal rate of manuscripts); refereed in a double blind procedure (at least two referees); highest impact scores. A World-wide distributed journals; emphasis in just one linguistic area as the exception; covering an entire discipline or an established subdiscipline; contributions are scientifically and methodologically most fastidious and innovative; frequently pioneer work and milestones of the respective discipline; understandable for graduates of relevant studies; strong competition of authors from an international realm; refereed in a double blind procedure (at least two referees); high impact scores. B Journals with at least supraregional distribution in any language; covering at least an established subdiscipline; contributions are scientifically or methodologically innovative; understandable for practitioners without any degree in relevant studies; manuscript submissions from a supraregional realm; refereed in a double blind procedure (at least two referees); impact score not relevant. C At least national distribution; covering at least established subdiscipline; the editors pay attention to legibility for non-scientist, although research results have editorial priority; practitioners rank among the core target group; at least national contributions; not necessarily anonymously refereed; however one external referee at least; impact factor not relevant. D At least national distribution; specialized on any level; contributions contain results in simplified form; practitioners appear frequently as authors; contributions are aimed at teaching or vocational training of practitioners; at least national contributions; no formal reviewing procedures; impact factor not relevant. 4
