Dear colleagues,
In our business school, we are recently discussing the relative merits of various journal quality classification systems and the Impact Factor stats derived from the Social Science Citation Index feature prominently in this discussion. I wonder if any of you is aware of an estimate of the percentage that the Business category journals in SSCI comprise out of all published scholarly business journals (say, restricted to refereed journals, broadly defined). In other words, does anyone has a figure for how many business (or even Management) journals are published these days?
Thanks for sharing your collective wisdom on this,
Jacob
