Business Journal Rankings for Research Quality Evaluation
Executive Summary: Evaluating Business Research Quality for Faculty Career Advancement
The progression of business faculty careers is not only pivotal to the continuous triumph of business education but also essential for the individual success of business educators. A cornerstone of this career development, especially in AACSB-accredited, research-teaching balaned institutions, is academic research. The benchmark for evaluating the significance and impact of this research often hinges on journal publications.
Renowned metrics utilized by numerous business schools include the UTD Top 100 research ranking, the ABDC ranking, the Financial Times Top 50 Journals list, and notably, the Academic Journal Guide (AJG) from the ABS list.
Additionally, universal research quality indicators like SCOPUS and SSCI, along with other standardized journal indices, offer insights into research caliber.
Armed with these specialized business research rankings and broader research metrics, our intention is to holistically assess the research quality of our business faculty and researchers, thereby promoting excellence and ensuring our institution remains at the forefront of business education.

4. AJG (Academic Journal Guide) Ranking
Target Journals (Example of Colorado State University's College of Business)
The Academic Journal Guide (AJG) is produced by the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS) and is often referred to as the "ABS ranking" or "ABS list." It ranks academic journals in the field of business and management. The AJG aims to provide clarity to academics about where to target their papers based on their topic, research method, and style.
The AJG categorizes journals into several ranks:
https://charteredabs.org/academic-journal-guide-2021/
*4 (Four Star)**: World Elite - these are the top journals, often seen as the pinnacle of academic publishing in the business domain.
4 (Four): Top - journals that are highly respected within the academic community.
3 (Three): Highly Regarded - high-quality journals with a good reputation.
2 (Two): Well Regarded - standard journals that many academics in the field publish in.
1 (One): Recognized - more specialized or newer journals.
Definitions of AJG Journal Ratings
4* : Journals of Distinction. Within the business and management field, including economics, there are a small number of grade 4 journals that are recognised world-wide as exemplars of excellence. As the world leading journals in the field, they would be ranked among the highest in terms of impact factor. The initial paper selection and review process would be rigorous and demanding. Accepted papers would typically not only bring to bear large scale data and/or rigour in theory, but also be extremely finely crafted and provide major advances to their field.
4 : All journals rated 4, whether included in the Journal of Distinction category or not, publish the most original and best-executed research. As top journals in their field, these journals typically have high submission and low acceptance rates. Papers are heavily refereed. These top journals generally have among the highest citation impact factors within their field.
3 : 3 rated journals publish original and well executed research papers and are highly regarded. These journals typically have good submission rates and are very selective in what they publish. Papers are heavily refereed. These highly regarded journals generally have good to excellent journal metrics relative to others in their field, although at present not all journals in this category carry a citation impact factor.
2 : Journals in this category publish original research of an acceptable standard. For these well regarded journals in their field, papers are fully refereed according to accepted standards and conventions. Citation impact factors are somewhat more modest in certain cases. Many excellent practitioneroriented articles are published in 2-rated journals.
1 : These journals, in general, publish research of a recognised, but more modest standard in their field. A 1 rating is a useful indicator in that it indicates the journal meets normal scholarly standards, including a general expectation of peer review. Papers are in many instances refereed relatively lightly according to accepted conventions. Few journals in this category carry a citation impact factor
Based on the ABS List and AJG, Target Journals are listed as below (Example of Colorado State University's College of Business)
