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 and Shea Fan (all University of Melbourne) for data entry work between 2006 and 2010, 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.
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 7 1.5-6.5 1 Interpretation Highest; only or mostly cited in RAE level 5* submissions Intermediate scores reflect the frequency with which the journal was cited at each RAE level, weighted against the RAE level.

By 1/1/2009 current non-ISI journals will be transferred to the secondary list unless ISI with high impact has been attained Scientific refereed journals of a recognized academic reputation that do not reach the quality levels of the Primary Set Within the secondary list, a SDutch (3=1) category is distinguished. Mainly Dutch journals belong to this group. Three or more publications in EJL (3=1) journals count for 1 EJL S publication.
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 Deth cember 2005 (17 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.
CNRS 2008 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (www.cnrs.fr) June 2008 (version 2.1)
Update of the 2004&2007 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. It is the intention of CNRS to re-evaluate the list on a regular basis. The 2.1 version only includes minor changes and specified the conditions for regular updates. For more information see: http://www.gate.cnrs.fr/spip.php?article200&lang=fr [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, 7
Agricultural/Energy Economics and Health that were not already included in other lists in Business and Management were also excluded as were French journals. The list seems to have a rather strong emphasis on Economics. Six of the eight 1*-rated journals are in Economics, while this is the case for half of the 1-rated journals. Nearly 75% of the Economics journals that are ranked have either a 1 or a 2 ranking. Furthermore, whereas journals in F&A, OR/MS/POM and MIS/KM still have a fair number of 1 and 2-rated journals, the vast majority of journals in General Management & Strategy and Marketing are rated 3 or 4.

ABDC 2010 Australian Business Deans Council Journal Rankings List February 2010
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 A* Interpretation 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 ABDC Journal List has been developed after wide consultation across the sector and our 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) Association of Industrial Relations of Australia and New Zealand (AIRAANZ) Australia and New Zealand Academy of Management (ANZAM) Australia and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) Australia and New Zealand International Business Academy (ANZIBA) Australian and New Zealand Marketing Academy (ANZMAC) Australian Society for the Study of Labour History (ASSLH) Council of Law Deans (CLD) Council for Australian University Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE) Economics Society of Australia (ESA) Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA) Sport Management Association of Australia and New Zealand (SMAANZ) Small Enterprise Association of Australia and New Zealand (SEAANZ) Society of Organisational Behaviour Australia (SOBA [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. An exception was made for Australasian journals, since they were underrepresented in the other ranking 9
lists included 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.
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, nd rd contents and processes of each journal. For the 2 (March 2008), 3 edition (March 2009) th and 4 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 4 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 rd th listed in the 3 edition no longer appear in the 4 edition. As is to be expected, most of these journals were only tangentially related to Economics or Business. However, some of these th journals were highly ranked, so omission from the 4 edition should not be seen as a sign of low quality].
