The AJG is a guide to the range and quality of journals in which business and management academics publish their research. Its purpose is to give both emerging and established scholars greater clarity as to which journals to aim for, and where the best work in their field tends to be clustered.

The AJG is based upon peer review, editorial and expert judgements following from the evaluation of publications, and is informed by statistical information relating to citation.

Harzing Journal Quality List

The Journal Quality List is a collation of journal rankings from a variety of sources. It is published primarily to assist academics to target papers at journals of an appropriate standard. We would be concerned if the list were used for staff evaluation purposes in a mechanistic way.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the Journal Quality List, we recommend that it be checked before used extensively for evaluation purposes. The editor will not be held responsible for omissions or errors. The current version of the JQL contains 13 different rankings of more than 900 journals.

Journal Citation Reports

Alternative names: JCR ; Web of Knowledge ; WoK

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) aggregates citations to a selection of journals (those included in the Web of Science databases). JCR provides data, metrics and analysis to help you assess the value and contribution of a journal. In JCR you can measure influence and impact at the journal and category levels, sort by various metrics, compare journals by quartiles or trends, visualize the relationship between citing and cited journals and trace a journal’s impact over time.

JCR covers:
11,500+ journals
230+ disciplines
80 countries/regions
2.2 million articles, reviews, and other source items
