Abstract

This article presents the results of a study of quality perceptions of Latin American Business Journals, based on the judgements of relevant experts - senior professors knowledgeable of Latin American research and journals. 45 journals were included in this study. The highest perceived quality scores were obtained by: Academia (Cladea-Uniandes), RAE (FGV) and Innovar (Univ. Nac. Colombia). When perceived quality is weighed by awareness, Academia, LABR (Coppead-U. San Diego), and Innovar had the highest scores. Results complement recent research by Ruiz-Torres and colleagues (2012) focusing on management journals published in Spanish. Results are analyzed suggesting the presence of language and branding effects in journal quality perceptions. Implications for editors/publishers; tenure and promotion and research grant committees, and for authors are provided.
