ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
We are hugely grateful to the Editors, Methodologists and members of the Scientific Committee without whom the Academic
Journal Guide 2015 would not be possible. The work they have carried out to analyse data, consult with subject communities
and find consensus has led to an impressive and robust Guide to the range, subject matter and quality of 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 with editorial and expert judgements following from the evaluation of many hundreds
of publications.
We are also very thankful to the founding Editors of the Guide. The ABS Guide was originally created and then published in
2009 through the initiative of Professor Charles Harvey, Aidan Kelly, Professor Huw Morris, and Professor Michael Rowlinson.
Supported by their peer community they have helped produce a very valuable service to the business and management
academic community. This 2015 edition of the Guide continues and builds on their work.
Finally, we must thank Thomson Reuters for the permission to use their JCR data, and Elsevier for the use of their SNIP and SJR
metrics powered by Scopus.

summarised as follows:

least three out of the five non-university based listings Financial Times 45, Dallas List, VHB, Australian Deans List, CNRS. In addition,
journals from core social sciences disciplines that do not appear in those listings may also be rated 4* on the grounds that they are
clearly of the finest quality and of undisputed relevance to business and management. In the Guide of 2015, this applies to three
journals from the fields of sociology and psychology.
All journals rated 4, whether included in the Journal of Distinction category or not, publish the most original and best-executed
research. As top journals in their field, these journals typically have high submission and low acceptance rates. Papers are heavily
refereed. Top journals generally have the highest citation impact factors within their field.
3 rated journals publish original and well executed research papers and are highly regarded. These journals typically have good
submission rates and are very selective in what they publish. Papers are heavily refereed. Highly regarded journals generally have
good to excellent journal metrics relative to others in their field, although at present not all journals in this category carry a citation
impact factor.
Journals in this category publish original research of an acceptable standard. A well regarded journal in its field, papers are fully
refereed according to accepted standards and conventions. Citation impact factors are somewhat more modest in certain cases. Many
excellent practitioner-oriented articles are published in 2-rated journals.
These journals, in general, publish research of a recognised, but more modest standard in their field. Papers are in many instances
refereed relatively lightly according to accepted conventions. Few journals in this category carry a citation impact factor.
1,2,3,4,5,6
The Process
The methodology underpinning the Guide consists of
evaluations of journals not based solely on metrics but
reflecting (to a degree) subject specialists views. This is a
distinctive feature of the Guide. While the approach followed
that undertaken for the previous ABS Guide, published in

CONCLUSION
We hope that the Guide will represent the start of a new
process of dialogue with the peer community at large. No
journal guide is ever definitive. The supposed objectivity
and superiority of purely metrics-based ratings is perhaps an
illusion. The Guide is based also on the conviction that the
expertise and experience of successful researchers provides
rich grounds for including scholarly judgment in the rating of
academic journals.
We take the concerns of the peer community very seriously.
Hence, the Editors and Scientific Committee would welcome
informed input and feedback. There is room for further
established, relevant and representative scholarly associations
strong case can be made for the need to consult all three
The 2010 ABS Guide used the 2008 two-year JCR (which is
journal during 2006-7) and the five-year mean citation impact
factor (which is the five-year mean impact factor for 2004-8).
The new Guide uses the mean JCR impact factor based on
the average of the five-year impact factors for the years 2008
to 2012. 2 This average is then standardised by subtracting the
average for the subject area and dividing this difference by
1 Effectively, its subject areas are tailor-made(Moed 2010: 274) which is an advantage
when dealing with cross- and multi-disciplinary journals.
2 The five-year JCR impact factor for 2012 states the 2012 citations to a journal of
papers it published during the five previous years, i.e. 2007-2011.

Standard Deviation of Impact Factor for Subject Area
The reason why the Guide focuses on the five-year JCR (and the
subject area and the journals that were in that subject list have
beenmerged withGeneral Management, to formGeneral
three-year SJR and SNIP) rather than the two-year JCR is that the
papers (or documents as per Scopus) per year. The reason for this
greater volatility is that a greater number of articles in one year
can inflate a small journals impact factor in a substantial way (this

2008, 2009 and 2010.
