ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

We are hugely grateful to the Editors, Methodologists and members o f the Scientific Committee w itho ut w hom the Academic
Journal Guide 2015 would not be possible.The work they have carried o ut to analyse data, consult w ith subject communities
and find consensus has led to an impressive and robust Guide to the range, subject matter and quality o f 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 w ith editorial and expert judgements following from the evaluation o f many hundreds
of publications.

We are also very thankful to the founding Editors o f the Guide.The ABS Guide'was originally created and then published in
2009 through the initiative of Professor Charles Harvey, Aldan Kelly, Professor Huw Morris, and Professor Michael Rowlinson.
Supported by their peer com m unity they have helped produce a very valuable service to the business and management
academic community. This 2015 edition o f the Guide continues and builds on their work.

Finally, we must thankThomson Reuters for the permission to use their JCR data, and Elsevier for the use of their SNIP and SJR
metrics powered by Scopus.

Rating Meaning of Quality Rating

Journals o f Distinction. W ithin the business and management field including economics, there are a small number o f grade 4 journals
that are recognised world-wide as exemplars o f excellence. Their high status Is acknowledged by their inclusion In a num ber 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 o u t o f the five non-university based listings - Financial Times 45, Dallas List, VHB, Australian Deans' List, CNRS. In addition,
journals from core social sciences disciplines th a t do no t appear in those listings may also be rated 4* on th e grounds th a t they are
clearty o f the finest quality and o f undisputed relevance to business and management. In the Guide o f 2015, this applies to three
journals from the fields o f sociology and psychology.

All journals rated 4, whether Included in th e Journal o f Distinction category or not, publish the m ost original and best-executed

the expanded list did indeed provide a good coverage of
published research conducted in business schools in their
respective domains. The subject experts were encouraged to
consult w ith learned societies, professional associations and/
or leading academics in their area.
Second, the Chief Methodologists analysed the data
collected from: (i) The Web o f Knowledge (WoK) Journal
Citation Report (JCR); (ii) the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), and
(iii) the Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP).
Third, evaluations were conducted by subject experts, again
based on the consultations w ith learned societies, professional
associations and/or leading academics in their area.
Following this process, the Chief Methodologists, the Chair
o f the Scientific Committee and the Editors met w ith the
Scientific Committee in London on July 11th, 2014. This
allowed the Committee as a whole to review the proposed
ratings o f the journals under consideration in their entirety.
The Chief Methodologists explained that inflation o f grades
was an issue to be avoided, and that we would request
further modification o f the proposed ratings in light o f this.
Fourth, the Editors then suggested modifications, informed
by further correspondence and consultation w ith Scientific
Committee members, and a further round o f evaluation
o f the metrics. The subject experts were asked to provide
further information and possible modification o f ratings on
the basis o f the proportion of journals proposed in each
category where this appeared too inflated. Also, further
information was requested to support the proposed rating
o f particular journals where these were rather different
than implied by metrics. Evaluations were further peer
reviewed by the Scientific Committee to provide additional
quality control.
Fifth, on August 22nd, 2014, the Chief Methodologists, the
Chair o f the Scientific Committee and the Editors m et in
Manchester and determined provisional ratings given all the
inputs to that date. These new' ratings were then sent to the
subject experts for comment. A further round o f discussions
was entered into until agreement w'as reached for each

credibility of the Guide.
A really positive outcome is that, whilst all areas have had
to make very hard choices, in each area, the Scientific
Committee members (who are listed on page 4 o f this Guide)

and the Editors were able to reach compromise agreements,
o r at least acceptance of the final ratings for journals in their
respective areas o f expertise.
Evading the Tragedy of the Commons
A key challenge we have faced is trying to ensure that the
interests o f as many communities as possible were heard,
but at the same time avoiding a tragedy of the commons
outcome. If journals in all areas were to have been upgraded
beyond w hat could clearly be justified by improvements in
the quality of research, and/or were it to be seen that there are
disproportionately too many 3s and 4s in any particular field,
there is a risk that schools would not adopt the Guide and
rely on their own methods. In other words, we are treading a
narrow path between working to ensure that representatives
of the scholarly community have a real say in the Guide,
and that as diverse a range o f research is recognised as
practically possible, whilst at the same tim e ensuring rigour
and making hard choices so that the currency is not unduly
debased. Disagreements were resolved through negotiation,
made possible by a shared common purpose o f fairness
and the need to recognise excellence in the business and
management fields covered by the Guide.The Editors were
able to gain further insights into the specific dynamics o f each
field through discussions w ith the experts, and the latter were
able to gain a better understanding o f the problems of an
overall tragedy of the commons scenario should too many
journals in too many areas be upgraded.
Why is that Journal Awarded that Rating?
Readers/users are not likely to agree w ith the rating o f every
journal. Indeed, there were cases about which members of
the Scientific Committee disagreed w ith the Editors. However,
the Editors and the Scientific Committee have spoken to
many individual scholars and scholarly associations and there
is a remarkable general consensus concerning most journals,
albeit w ith a relatively small number o f difficult, contentious
cases. These cases require more discussion in the future. One
or tw o ratings may still appear unusual to readers/users, but
it is w orth considering that the Scientific Committee indudes
many experts w ho are party to a wide range o f information,
that not all may be similarly aware of. More broadly
speaking, we have simply awarded journals ratings, and any
conclusions as to the w orth o f the journal the reader/user
reaches are his or her own. Reviewing the Guide, a critical
reader/user may conclude that it is only the 4 rated journals
M ethodology - 8
 ABS*^
(frASSOCIATION 4

(or even the JOD category) that are w orth considering for his
or her work. Others may feel that a 2 rating is w hat matters,
as it sets these journals apart from those that are rated 1.
Still others may find that a 1 rating is a useful indicator in that
it indicates the journal meets normal scholarly standards,
including a general expectation o f peer review.

A Note a b o u t Increases in th e N um ber o f Journals w ith

a 3 o r 4 Rating

It is im portant to remember that an additional number o f 4s

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

CONCLUSION
We hope that the Guide will represent the start of a new
process o f dialogue w ith the peer com m unity 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 o f successful researchers provides
rich grounds for including scholarly judgm ent in the rating of
academic journals.
We take the concerns o f the peer com m unity 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
to apply for representation on the Scientific Committee and
this would be very welcome.
The Board's intention is to update the Guide every three
years. It is the hope o f the Editors and Chief Methodologists
that the process will, over time, become even more
representative and inclusive, taking account o f the concerns
across the com m unity o f business and management
scholarship, whilst retaining the principle of differentiation in
research outputs and evading a tragedy of the commons.
The Three Impact Factors relating
to Citation Information
With regard to the citation information within the second
methodological component it is not the intention of this
document to provide a detailed review o f the methodologies
underlying these three impact factors. Nevertheless, in what
follows we provide a brief description o f these three impact
factors, including their advantages and drawbacks. The
Web of Knowledge JCR was the impact factor underlying
the Guide, including its last version published in 2010. In
addition to the JCR, the new Guide uses the SJR and the
SNIP. An immediate advantage of using all three impact
factors other than just the JCR is that the SJR and the SNIP are
available for a much larger number o f journals whereas the
JCR is more selective. Refer to Gonzalez-Pereira et al. (2010)
for more information on the SJR, and Moed (2010) for more
information about the SNIP and how it compares to the SJR.
The main advantages and disadvantages of the three impact
factors are as follows (see Colledge et al. 2010 for a much
more detailed comparison). The JCR is the most widely used
ABS Academic Journal Guide 2015
ABS*^
*rASSOCIATION

impact factor. Its main disadvantage is that it does n ot adjust
for differences in the number o f citations across subject
areas. In particular, it tends to generate much lower values for
journals in social sciences.
The SJR's main advantages are that it adjusts for differences
in the number o f citations across subject areas and also
adjusts for the prestige o f a journal. However, the fact that it
adjusts for prestige also creates a drawback as sources that
are cited in more prestigious journals in turn are given more
prestige. This may result in self-perpetuating lists o f so called
prestige journals.
The SNIP'S main advantage is th at it normalises citations
across subject areas and that it does so w ithout relying on
classifications o f subject areas that in turn w ould create
limitations.1 However, as the SNIP does n ot adjust for the
percentage o f reviews published in a journal it tends to have
higher values for journals publishing reviews. It is also more
prone to editorial g ame playing via journal self-citations.
Bearing in mind that all three impact factors have advantages
as well as drawbacks - i.e, no impact factor is perfect - a
strong case can be made for the need to consult all three
impact factors (wherever available) when assessing the
quality of a journal.This is the approach adopted for the
Guide. The three impact factors were standardised across
each subject area in a similar way to the 2010 version o f
the'ABS Guide'
The 2010ABS Guide'used the 2008 two-year JCR (which is
the number of 2008 citations of papers published in a given
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 o f the five-year impact factors for the years 2008
to 2012} This average is then standardised by subtracting the
average for the subject area and dividing this difference by
the standard deviation:1

Journal Im pact Factor - Mean Im pact Factor fo r Subject Area

Similarly, the'ABS Guide 2010'used standardised JCRs.The
equivalent standardised impact factors are also calculated for
the SJR and the SNIP. It should be noted, however, that the
standardised mean JCR and SNIP are based on the three-year
impact factors rather than the five-year impact factors as the
latter are not available.
The reason why the Guide focuses on the five-year JCR (and the
three-year SJRand SNIP) rather than the two-year JCR is that the
impact factors can be highly volatile across years. Volatility affects
in particular smaller journals, i.e. journals that publish less than 30
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
could be due to e.g. a highly cited special issue). Hence, in addition
to the mean standardised impact factors the subject experts were
also provided with a'small journal indicator variable.
It should be noted that there can be considerable variability
between and across impact factors. Hence, these should not be
used mechanistically and uniquely as a means o f distribution.
Crucially, this variability underlines the importance of adopting
a four-step methodology. More specifically, the SJR tends to be
more volatile (with a higher standard deviation) across journals
than the JCR and SNIP, but this depends on the subject area (e.g,
this pattern is more pronounced for Finance than Accounting).
The subject experts were also provided with the other metrics
and data items, such as the percentage o f articles not cited and
the percentage of reviews per journal, to help them rate the
journals in their subject area.The subject experts were asked
to rate the journals from 4 to 1. A further distinction (Journal
o f Distinction) was made for in respect o f a small number of
journals amongst those with a rating of 4.This carries over the
range o f ratings from the previous'ABS Guide 2010!
Changes in Subject Areas and Coverage in
the Guide Compared to the 2010 ABS Guide
While the number of subject areas has remained at 22, there have
been some changes (seeTable 2).There are tw o new subject areas
and tw o subject areas from the lastABS Guide 201 O'that have1

2008.2009 and 2010.

iu si\i;sssai(H )is
been deleted as a result of being merged with other subject areas.
There is now a subject area for'Regional Studies, Planning and
Environment', which indudes among others the journals formerly
listed under "Social Science! Psychology has been split into tw o
homogenous areas, Le."Psychology (General)'and 'Psychology
(Organisational)! "Ethics and Governanceis no longer a separate
subject area and the journals that were in that subject list have
been merged with General Management! to form'GeneraI
Management. Ethics and Social Responsibility!lhis reflects the
fact that ethical considerations are now integral to business and
management research practice. Finally,Tourism and Hospitality
Management'has been merged with'Sector StucSes! with
significantly more journals being induded. In addition, given the
growing scholarly interest in emerging markets, thelnternational
Business' subject area now also encompasses'Area Studies! to
indude some prominent area studies journals
A number o f individual journals also moved from one subject
area to another one based on feedback obtained by journal
editors, the subject experts (including feedback obtained
from their consultations with learned societies, professional
assodations and/or leading academics in their area), the Chief
Methodologists and the Editors.
The 2015 Guide covers a much larger number o f journals as
compared to the 2010'ABS Guide'.This Guide indudes a total
o f 1,401 journals as compared to only 745 journals covered by
the'ABS Guide 201 O'This corresponds to an 88% increase in
the number o f journals covered. In addition to the expansions
outlined above, there were many journals added in most
subject areas, reflecting the international scope o f the present
Guide. Table 3 shows the distribution o f journals across the
subject areas and across the four ratings categories. At the
same time, and also for practical reasons, the Guide is not
intended to be fu ly comprehensive - non-inclusion in the ABS
Guide should not be taken as a judgem ent of journal quality.
Decisions as to the indusion o f journals in the ABS Guide are
at the discretion o f the Editors and informed by the advice of
members o f the Scientific Committee. Publishers o f journals
not listed can contact the Editors for consideration for future
editions o f the ABS Guide.
