Bibliographic Measures of Top-Tier Finance, Information Systems, and Management Science Journals

Purpose: Faculty research is frequently the basis of pay, tenure, and promotion decisions in university arena. Meanwhile, perceptions regarding quantity quality produced by a faculty often departmental, college, reputation. The journal which findings are published used to assess overall quality. In order better benchmark quality, this report provides meticulous investigation leading journals finance, information systems management science disciplines. It examines four different citation-based measures characteristics that exogenous any individual piece research. unison, these investigative paths provide clearer understanding across business realm, hence appearing journals. Design: This study assists development an accurate perception through careful analysis popular Journal Citation Reports (JCR) impact factor three diverse By considering newer metrics, a.) SCImago Rank (SJR), b.) Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP), c.) Percentage articles cited, builds on past Top-tier systems, operations (referred here as “management ”) compared evaluate consistency differences their citation-rate based also analyzed. Further, potential discipline-based variation acceptance rate, issue frequency, time since inception, total reviewers put forth additional factors may influence T-tests applied for discipline comparisons, while correlation multiple regression employed characteristics. Findings: There significant difference JCR high-quality finance versus However, only correlate with variety journal-specific factors, including journal's rate frequency issue. SJR are, other hand, consistently higher than journals, though value can be quite volatile. Most importantly, relations between
