Moving a Journal up the Rankings

Chapter 11 in Opening the Black Box of Editorship, 2008, pp 104-113 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Reflecting on ten years’ editorial experience at the British Journal of Management (BJM) — two years as an associate editor (1996-8), followed by eight years as the Editor-in-Chief (1999–2006)—in this chapter, I map out what I consider to be the critical factors that ultimately determine the standing of academic journals in the global marketplace of scholarly excellence within the field of management and organization studies and address the question regarding what steps might be taken in order to improve a journal’s performance in that context. Now in its nineteenth year of publication and consistently ranked among the top ten European journals in both the business and management studies listings of the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), the BJM constitutes a highly suitable case study for the analysis of these issues.
