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.

Rating Definitions and Issues
In Table 1, the definitions of the journal ratings are set out. This draws on the previous iterations of the ABS Guide.
Rating Meaning of Quality Rating
Journals of Distinction. Within the business and management field including economics, there are a small number of grade 4 journals
that are recognised world-wide as exemplars of excellence. Their high status is acknowledged by their inclusion in a number of
well-regarded international journal quality lists. The Guide normally rates a journal 4* if they are rated in the highest category by at
4* 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
4 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

Journals in this category publish original research of an acceptable standard. A well regarded journal in its field, papers are fully

Still others may find that a 1 rating is a useful indicator in that

including a general expectation of peer review.
A Note about Increases in the Number of Journals with

a 3 or 4 Rating
It is important to remember that an additional number of 4s

or 3s in the Guide will not necessarily mean that there will
be a similar proportionate increase in the amount of work in
business and management categorised as falling into 3 or 4
within a particular national context. Indeed, the awarding of
a 4 rating to a journal that only carries a very small number
of 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 of 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 will 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 of work by local scholars typically carried by that
journal is an important considering factor; many journals
are dominated by contributors from one nationality, and
not another. For example, the award of a high rating to a
journal that carries little work by scholars in business and
management will have little effect, although of course,
it may encourage more submissions from business and
management scholars in future. A note of caution is also
urged in looking at the proportion of 3 and 4 rated journals
in a particular field; again, the proportion of 3s and 4s will
to a large extent be a product of the number of 1 rated
journals included. In very large areas, there is likely to be a
large number of journals with low ratings. Hence, readers of
the ABS Guide are cautioned against simply counting the
number of 3 and 4 rated journals in a particular field, and
comparing the result with other fields. Any conclusions that
do not take these issues into account might be misleading.
