An updated version of the ABS journal quality list is now available from http://www.bizschooljournals.com/.
(NB! personal registration is mandatory, does not allow for printing/downloading - only on-screen reading).
The new list is much larger, as it contains 1401 journals, against 823 in ABS 2010. The list still applies a 5-category classification system, or ranking, of the journals. In the 2012-2014 Development Contract CBS has been concerned with the top 2 categories, level 4 and 4*, 94 journals in total, as priority publication targets. The number of articles in level 4 and 4* has increased to 118 – 32 new journals have been added, 8 journals have been downgraded to category 3.
Among the new category 4/4* journals are titles such as Journal of World Business, Business History Review, and International Journal of Operations Management, and Public Administration - An International Quarterly.
And among those that are no any longer categorized as 4/4* are Business History and Harvard Business Review.
For the 2015-2017 Development Contract DIR/IL has decided that our goal for this performance indicator should be to ’maintain the level’ of published articles, defined as the average number of articles published in 2012-2014 in the same journals, which amounts to 56 articles yearly.
A file with all ABS-2015 (4,4*) journals (and also all ABS-2010 (4,4*), FT45 and UTD journals) are available on CBS Share.
