Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to update a global ranking of 27 knowledge management and intellectual capital (KM/IC) academic journals.Design/methodology/approachThe ranking was developed based on a combination of results from a survey of 482 active KM/IC researchers and journal citation impact indices.FindingsThe ranking list includes 27 currently active KM/IC journals. The A+ journals are the Journal of Knowledge Management and the Journal of Intellectual Capital. The A journals are the Learning Organization, Knowledge Management Research & Practice, Knowledge and Process Management, VINE: The Journal of Information and Knowledge Management Systems and International Journal of Knowledge Management. A majority of recently launched journals did not fare well in the ranking. Whereas a journal’s longevity is important, it is not the only factor affecting its ranking position. Expert survey and citation impact measures are relatively consistent, but expert survey ranking scores change faster.Practical implicationsKM/IC discipline stakeholders, including practitioners, editors, publishers, reviewers, researchers, students, administrators and librarians, may consult the developed ranking list for various purposes. Compared to 2008, more researchers indicated KM/IC as their primary area of concentration, which is a positive indicator of discipline development.Originality/valueThis is the most recent ranking list of KM/IC academic journals.
