Abstract

This guide for faculty presents the data sources, online tools, and citation metrics that are most widely used to evaluate the quality, scholarly impact, or reputation of business and economics journals. The guide, which is distinctive in its subject emphasis and its intended audience, may be useful to scholars, departments, and committees that seek to identify appropriate publication outlets, to evaluate or demonstrate the impact of particular research contributions, or to distinguish between legitimate and predatory journals. The topics and resources covered include the multiple dimensions of journal quality, journal rankings based on citation impact (e.g., Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar Metrics, Cabell’s Journalytics, RePEc), journal ratings based on expert opinion (e.g., Australian Business Deans Council, Chartered Association of Business Schools, Harzing’s Journal Quality List, Excellence in Research for Australia), other means of assessing journal quality (e.g., Directory of Open Access Journals, Beall’s List, Cabell’s Predatory Reports), and resources for gauging the citation impact of particular articles.
