JOURNAL QUALITY LIST


Fifty-second Edition, 11 February 2014
Compiled and edited by Professor Anne-Wil Harzing, http://www.harzing.com

Introduction
The Journal Quality List is published primarily to assist academics 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. The editor will not be held responsible for omissions or errors.

Acknowledgements
The first version of the JQL was collated when the editor was with 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, Victoria
Lim, Ulrike Magner, Sebastian Reiche, Dinuka Wijetunga, Shea Fan, and Sofie Schtte (all University of Melbourne) for data entry work between 2006 and 2012, Jos Benders, Yehuda Baruch, Malachy Carey, Graham Hooley, Gunther Maier, and Andrew Kirchner for pointing out and
supplying me with various journal ranking lists and providing corrections, and my former colleagues at the University of Bradford School of Management for their feedback. Special thanks
are 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.

DISCUSSION OF THE RANKINGS


WIE 2001 WU Wien Journal Rating 2001
List developed by the Wirtschaftsuniversitt Wien (Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration). For more information and the complete list see: http://bach.wuwien.ac.at/bachapp/cgi-bin/fides/fides.aspx/fides.aspx?journal=true;lang=DE.
[Editors note] The WU Wien list contains over 1700 entries, but only entries in the research areas covered by the current JQL have been included.
Rank

Interpretation

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).

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).

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).

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.

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.

VHB 2003 Assoc. of Professors of Business in German speaking countries


A ranking developed on behalf of the Association of University Professors of Business in German speaking countries (Verband der Hochschullehrer fr Betriebswirtschaft - VHB). Based on
a highly interactive and individualised survey distributed via the Internet, 651 professors and
university researchers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland assessed the scientific quality of
both articles and review processes of journals they were familiar with.
The Ranking with over 1,500 journals covers all fields of business administration (e.g., management, marketing, finance, accounting) and related areas (e.g., economics, psychology, political science). The evaluation scale ranged from 1 (very low) to 10 (very high). The results were
adjusted according to the different experience levels of the respondents.
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (ranking
D&E) of the VHB list were only added if they already featured in the JQL. The same principle
was applied to German-language journals. The list also included a range of engineering and
computer science journals that were not included in the JQL as they were seen as less relevant
to Management/Business/Economics.
Journals that were ranked by less than 10 (but more than 5) respondents, were only included if
they (a) already featured in the JQL or (b) had a score of A or A+. These journals are indicated
with a letter score in brackets, e.g. (A). Five journals that were right on the borderline between
scores (e.g. with a score of 7.998) were assigned the higher level score.

BJM 2004 British Jnl of Management 2001 Business & Mgmt RAE rankings
Published as Geary, J.; Marriott, L.; Rowlinson, M. (2004) Journal Rankings in Business and
Management and the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise in the UK, British Journal of Management, vol. 15, pp. 95-141.
This list is based on the premise that academic staff in institutions with a higher RAE rating will
tend to publish in higher-quality journals. Journals are therefore rated based on the frequency
with which they are included in each of the seven RAE ratings (5*, 5, 4, 3A, 3B, 2, 1). Theoretically this means that a journals score could run from 1 (only cited in RAE submissions from institutions with a 1 lowest rating) to 7 (only cited in RAE submissions from institutions with a
5* highest rating). Since academics in institutions rated 1 or 2 tend to publish very little, the
practical range is 3-7, while most journals are in the 4-7 range. The BJM04 list includes 562
journals that accounted for 83% of the citations in the RAE submissions. As recommended in
the article median scores were used rather than mean scores.
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (ranking
1-4) of the BJM04 list were only added if they already featured in the JQL. Journals that had
less than 10 submissions are indicated with the respective score in brackets. Please note that
some journals only had 1 or 2 submissions and hence scores can be idiosyncratic.
Score

Interpretation

Highest; only or mostly cited in RAE level 5* submissions

1.5-6.5

Intermediate scores reflect the frequency with which the journal was cited at
each RAE level, weighted against the RAE level.

Lowest; only or mostly cited in RAE level 1 submissions

HKB 2005 Hong Kong Baptist University School of Business 2005


List approved by the Executive Committee of HKBU, April 2005. Ratings on a A , B+, B and Bscale, where A represents the highest and B- the lowest rating.
[Editors note] Journals that were mentioned on the HKBU list, but not on any other list, were only included if they had at least a B ranking. Law journals were excluded, as were Statistics &
Probability journals unless they already appeared on the list. The HKB00 list was used as a basis, so journals that did appear on the 2000 list, but were no longer included in the HKB05 list
are still included in the JQL.

Theo 2005 Theoharakis et al.


The Theoharakis et al. index aggregates perceived journal rankings based on surveys among 7
different populations of academics and PhD students in seven different scholarly fields (Management, Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Information Systems and Statistics). Re4

spondents were asked to choose from a comprehensive list of journals in their respective field
and rank up to 10 journals as top tier and up to 10 journals as second tier based on each journals contribution to the discipline in terms of rigor, prestige and importance. The calculated index combines a journals average rank position with its familiarity (i.e. the number of respondents who placed the respective journal among their top 20), assigning a decreasing weight to
lower rank positions. The overall (world) index was used, which has a theoretical maximum of
100. Index figures for the Information Systems subfield were calculated manually from the available raw data.
The surveys have been published in a variety of discipline-based journals between 2001 and
2005. One paper is still under review. For more information on the various listings, see:
http://www.alba.edu.gr/survey/ For the purpose of the JQL the seven different surveys have
been combined to one aggregate list. It should be noted, however, that comparison across subdisciplines is only possible in a very limited way, since each survey is based on a different survey population and ranks the journals relative to each other.
[Editors note] For journals that were included in the list of more than one scholarly field, the
highest index score is reported. In consultation with the authors, the ranking for Production and
Operations Management had to be excluded as it followed a different methodology. Statistics
journals were only included if they already featured in the JQL. The small set of other journals
that were not yet featured in the JQL were also ignored since they had low quality scores (below
5 in most cases below 10 in virtually all cases).

EJIS 2007 European Journal of Information Systems 2007 Mingers & Harzing
This list provides an integrated ranking of all journal rankings available in the JQL as at December 2005 (17th edition). The details of its construction as well as a range of additional analyses
have been published in the European Journal of Information Systems, vol. 16, no. 4. An earlier
working paper is also available from http://www.harzing.com/papers.htm#jqlrank. Two rankings
are available (EJIS07 and EJIS07-CI); the second ranking includes the JIF for 2004 as part of
its analysis.
[Editors note] Some journals were removed from this analysis because they had a very limited
number of rankings (e.g. all communication journals that were only ranked on the UQ list). Further, several dozens of journals have been added to the JQL since this list was constructed.
Hence, ratings for some 100 journals are not available.

UQ 2007 University of Queensland Journal Rating 2007


This list was originally constructed in 2003 in three stages:
1. Construction of a mega-database (over 2,000 titles) based on ratings and rankings from
over 120 sources.
2. Allocation of each title to one of 5 tiers (1 = highest, 5 = lowest) on the basis of the second
highest rating from the rating/ranking sources (i.e., the rating must be from at least two
sources).
3. The data base was supplied to the six discipline cluster leaders in the school as a resource
that they could use to construct the official list (which comprises 588 journals). They could
use the mega-database or any other source to justify each journal's rating.
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (ranking
4&5) of the UQ list were only added if they already featured in the JQL. An exception was made
for Entrepreneurship/Communication journals, since they were underrepresented in the other
ranking lists included in the JQL.
[Editors note] The JQL includes the updated (2007) version of the UQ list. Unfortunately, no information is available on the process that was followed in updating in the 2003 list.

AST 2008 Aston March 2008


New version of the Aston lists originally published in 1999/2003/2006. The 1999 list was based
on a large survey of opinions of academics of the Midlands universities. In 2003 this list was
sent to Aston research convenors for discussion within their group and each group then sent in
revised lists which formed the basis of the new rankings. Anybody who wanted to add a journal
was asked to provide evidence, preferably citation evidence from the World of Knowledge Data
Base, but failing that expert opinions in the field from other universities. In the 2006 rankings
are made on the basis of citation rates, impact factors, interrogation of data bases and the evaluations of senior academic staff in Aston Business School and other international business
schools. They are subject to change as the standing and impact of journals changes. No information was available about the procedures for the 2008 update.
[Editors note] Journals that were mentioned on the Aston 2008 list, but not on any other list,
were only included if they had at least a 3 ranking. Law journals were excluded. Where journals
were ranked differently in different subdisciplines, the highest rating was used.]

WIE 2008 WU Wien Journal Rating May 2008


List developed by the Wirtschaftsuniversitt Wien (Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration). For more information and the complete list see: http://bach.wuwien.ac.at/bachapp/cgi-bin/fides/fides.aspx/fides.aspx?journal=true;lang=DE
The 2001 journal list was updated in the context of an incentive scheme that provided financial
incentives for publication in top journals. As such the 2008 list only contains journals with an A+
and A ranking and the WIE01 was therefore maintained in the JQL.
[Editors note] Journals that were mentioned on the WIE 2008 list, but were not included in the
JQL were only included if they had an A+ ranking.

ABS 2010 Association of Business Schools Academic Journal Quality


Guide March 2010
The first version of this list was published by Bristol Business School in June 2004, while the
second version appeared in 2005 as the Harvey Morris Business Journals List. The original list
stems from an analysis of where UK academics declared publications for the purposes of RAE
2001. Other journals were then added through comparison with other lists in circulation. Rankings in these lists were standardized at this stage, bearing in mind the UK RAE 2008 classification of research outputs as 4* (best work in the field), 3* (international excellence), 2* (internationally recognised) 1* (nationally recognised).
In converting the second edition of the HM List to the ABS list the editors followed a nine stage
procedure involving significant peer review and review of the quality standards, track records,
contents and processes of each journal. For the 2nd (March 2008), 3rd edition (March 2009) and
6

4th edition (March 2010) a review panel of experts considered feedback from academic associations, publishers and individual academics. For further details see excellent 15 page Introduction: Context, Purpose and Methodology Guide available on the following URL:
http://www.the-abs.org.uk/?id=257
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (1 and 2)
were only added if they already featured in the JQL. Also excluded were journals in the area of
law, education (unless related to Management), psychology (unless related to OB), general social sciences (unless related to Management) and medicine.
[Editors note] In the 4th edition of this list only journals that had 2 or more submissions in the UK
Research Assessment Exercise were included. As a result some 150 journals that were listed in
the 3rd edition no longer appear in the 4th edition. As is to be expected, most of these journals
were only tangentially related to Economics or Business. However, some of these journals were
highly ranked, so omission from the 4th edition should not be seen as a sign of low quality].

Den 2011 Danish Ministry Journal list 2011


In collaboration with academics, the Danish Ministry publishes an annual list of journals it recognizes as peer-reviewed and of a particular quality. It assessed those included in the list with
either a score of 1 (low) or 2 (high). Exact details of this list are unknown, but around 85 % of
journals are scored 1, with the remaining 15% scored 2. Of the 900+ journals in the JQL more
than 40% are scored 2, clearly indicating that the JQL tends to focus on high quality journals.

HEC 2011 Hautes tudes Commerciales de Paris Ranking List July 2011
The overall approach to construct this list consisted of searching for an algorithm to combine the
different sources of information in a standardized way across all journals of all fields. These
sources were expert opinions (solicited from outside of HEC), existing rankings, and journal impact factors. Borderline cases were then discussed and some corrections made. All corrections
were based on additional factual information (e.g. acceptance rates, evolution of impact factors).
The following five existing ranking were used:
ABS Association of Business Schools Academic Journal Quality Guide
CNRS Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (2008), section 37, Economics and
Management
ERIM Erasmus Research Institute of Management Journals Listing (2006)
FT Financial Times Journal List (2010)

A detailed description of the method is available at the following address:

[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (ranking
B-C) of the HEC list were only added if they already featured in the JQL. The same principle

VHB 2011 Assoc. of Professors of Business in German speaking countries


A ranking developed on behalf of the Association of University Professors of Business in German speaking countries (Verband der Hochschullehrer fr Betriebswirtschaft - VHB). This version (VHB-JOURQUAL 2.1) is an update of the second edition (2008). Rankings of journals on
the list were not updated, but new journals were added. For details about the update, see:
http://vhbonline.org/service/jourqual/vhb-jourqual-21-2011/
Details a about the procedures followed in the second edition (2008) are available here:

was applied to German-language journals. The list also included a range of Engineering and
Computer Science as well as Health journals that were not included in the JQL as they were
seen as less relevant to Management/Business/Economics.In contrast to the VHB03 list journals with less than 10 respondents were not given a rating and hence there are no scores in
brackets in the VHB08 list. Since some journals score very different in the VHB08 ranking as
compared to the VHB03 list and other ranking lists, we decided to maintain the VHB03 list.

AERES 2012 Agence dvaluation de la recherche et de lenseignement suprieur (17 Oct 2012)
The AERES journal list has been constructed by the section 37 of the CNRS, in consultation
with academics from institutions such as CNRS, INRA and CNU. It has continuously evolved
over time. The 2012 update is a combination of the CNRS 2011 and FNEG 2011 list. Journals
ranked 1*, 1 or 2 on these lists were classified as A, journals ranked 3 as B, and journals ranked
4 as C. As such there is less differentiation in the highest rank than in other journal rankings
with more than a third of the ranked journals (20% of the journals on the list is unranked) in the
highest (A) category.
In order to be qualified as research active, academics generally have to publish at least three
items, including at least two articles in a five year period in journals on the AERES list if they
have a teaching & research contract and at least five items, including at least three articles in
five years if they have a research only contract.
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (ranked
B, C or unranked) of the AERES 2012 list were only added if they already featured in the JQL.
Journals in Law, Agricultural/Energy Economics and Health that were not already included in
other lists in Business and Management were also excluded as were French journals. Similar to
many French rankings, the list seems to have a rather strong emphasis on Economics and
many of the journals in Management & Marketing are ranked much lower than on other lists.

Cra 2012 Cranfield University School of Management

This list provides guidelines to staff on which journals they should consider submitting their papers to. It should be noted that the grading for each journal is the Schools view, and guided the
Schools submission to the RAE 2008. The projected grading has been produced using a large
number of internal and external sources, including journal impact factors.

EJL 2012 Erasmus Research Institute of Management Journals Listing


The strategic purpose of the ERIM Journals List is to contribute to the quality of the scientific
output of ERIM and to the academic reputation of the institute (see http://www.erim.eur.nl/ejl).
The ERIM Journals List (EJL) helps to define the core domain of ERIM and provides direction
as to the type of publications that ERIM would like to produce. The practical purpose is to guarantee to the ERIM members and aspirant members that publications in the journals of the EJL
will qualify for membership. The EJL is believed to cover the whole field of research in management, as far as the ERIM research programs are concerned. This does not imply that no
credit will be given for publications in journals that are not on the EJL. It is impossible to make
9

an exhaustive list of all the journals in the domain of research in management. The ERIM journal list is based on judgment by peers and (ISI) impact scores.
The first edition of the list came out in 2002. In 2011 ERIM solicited proposals from each research program for the fourth edition of the list. Five journals were upgraded to STAR, 12 journals were upgraded to P, and three journals were downgraded to S. Four new PA journals were
added and a new category (M*) was created. 31 S journals were removed from the list.
[Editors note] If a journal of the EJIM list was not already included in the JQL (which apart from
half a dozen Dutch journals was rare), it was only added if it had a score of STAR or P(A).

ABDC 2013 Australian Business Deans Council Journal Rankings List


November 2013
The ABDC Journal List is a collaborative list developed by the Australian Business Deans
Council that seeks to list journals relevant to Australian business academics and group these
journals into four quality categories ranging in descending order from:
Rank

Interpretation

A*

Best or leading journal in its field - publishes outstanding, original and rigorous
research that will shape the field. Acceptance rates are typically low and the editorial board is dominated by leading scholars in the field or subfield, including
from top institutions in the world. Where relevant to the field or subfield, the journal has the highest impact factors or other indices of high reputation.

Highly regarded journal in the field or subfield - publishes excellent research in


terms of originality, significance and rigour, has competitive submission and acceptance rates, excellent refereeing process and where relevant to the field or
subfield, has higher than average impact factors. Not all highly regarded journals
have high impact factors, especially those in niche areas.

Well regarded journal in the field or subfield - publishes research of a good


standard in terms of originality, significance and rigour and papers are fully refereed according to good standards and practices but acceptance rates are higher than for Tiers A* and A. Depending on the field or sub-field, will have a modest impact factor and will be ISI listed.

A recognised journal - publishes research that is of a modest standard and/or is


yet to establish its reputation because of its newness. This tier is more inclusive
than the others but only includes refereed journals.

The 2010 ABDC Journal List has been developed after wide consultation across the sector and
stakeholders. The following organisations provided input into the process:
Australian Council of Professors and Heads of Information Systems (ACPHIS)
Accounting & Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand (AFAANZ)

The 2013 revision followed a similarly comprehensive process, which was supported by public
submissions according to a standard template, (all available here:
http://www.abdc.edu.au/29.116.0.0.1.0.htm), qualitative and quantitative data assessment, public exposure feedback and international expert consultation.
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (ranking
B and C) of the ABDC list were only added if they already featured in the JQL. Also excluded
were journals in the area of law, education (unless related to Management), psychology (unless
related to OB), general social sciences (unless related to Management),statistics (unless related
to Economics or Management) and medicine.

CNRS 2013 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (www.cnrs.fr)


November 2013 (version 4.01)
6th update of the ranking of journals in Economics and Business constructed by the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. The list of journals was constructed through consultation with experts in the field, both in France and abroad. Directors of the various research
groups (and through them the researchers in these groups) were consulted in an iterative process. Rankings of foreign universities were also consulted as well as listings such as SSCI and
EconLit. Only academic peer-reviewed journals were included in the list and hence it excludes
high-ranked professional journals such as Harvard Business Review. Rankings are based on
several criteria: academic reputation, audience and impact. For more information and the full list
see: https://www.gate.cnrs.fr/IMG/pdf/Categorisation37_nov2013.pdf
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (ranking
3-4) of the CNRS08 list were only added if they already featured in the JQL. Journals in Law,
Agricultural/Energy Economics and Health that were not already included in other lists were also
excluded as were French journals.
Previous lists appeared to have a rather strong bias towards Economics and (to a lesser extent)
towards the more quantitative fields of Business (Finance & Accounting, IS and Operations Research). This bias has been partially addressed in the new list. Many journals in Management &
Marketing were upgraded, whilst several journals in Finance & Accounting were downgraded.
Even so Management & Marketing still appears to be somewhat undervalued in comparison to
other ranking lists in the JQL.

Ess 2013 ESSEC Business School Paris 2013


ESSEC is one of the top French business schools. Its first journal ranking list was established
20 years ago. The current list is dated 17.12.2013. The ranking of a journal was decided by a
committee of seven ESSEC professors with outstanding performance in research. Factors considered are the aim and scope of the journal, the quality of its board, the SCCI impact factor, external opinions about the journal, quality of the papers, readership, scale of distribution in libraries, journal lifetime, refereeing process, etc. Although it is based on a relatively small number of
key informants, the list was included to provide a French perspective on journal rankings.
11

[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (1-3)
were only added if they already featured in the JQL. Also excluded were journals in the area of
law, politics, mathematics, computing (unless related to OR), psychology (unless related to OB),
and medicine as well as most French journals. Several journals had to be excluded because
their titles were ambiguous and/or could not be found in public sources.]
Rank

Interpretation

0+

Recognised internationally as the best in the discipline

Excellence at a level close to the top journals in the field

High level scientific journals of international reputation and circulation

Generally national-circulation journals, or international journals of lesser reputation

Journals with a very narrow circulation or low profile.

FNEG 2013 Foundation National pour lEnseignement de la Gestion des


Entreprises, version June 2013
A ranking created by the French Management Association to complement the CNRS list, which
is oriented more towards Science and Economics. The FNEGE Scientific Board includes all the
Academic Associations of Management representing the community of researchers in the field.
The list of scientific journals below is unanimously supported by the 14 scientific associations of
the discipline with the shared desire to obtain a categorization that reflects as accurately as
possible the specificity of management as a science. This unanimous support from a whole scientific community confers high legitimacy on it.
In creating the list, the Association combined peer review with reference to a wide range of
French and international journal rankings (all included in the JQL) as well as bibliometric indicators (ISI Journal Impact Factor, Google Scholar h-index, SCImago SJR).
[Editors note] In order to keep the JQL to a manageable length, lower-ranked journals (2-4)
were only added if they already featured in the JQL. The same principle was applied to Frenchlanguage journals. Also excluded were journals in the area of health, politics, and medicine.]

Rank

Interpretation

1*
