Best Business and Management Journals

The position of each journal within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated using an advanced algorithm that incorporates both the estimated h-index of the journal and the number of leading scientists who have endorsed it over the previous three years. Such a rigorous approach ensures a balanced evaluation capturing both citation impact and expert recognition.

The ranking is further substantiated by Impact Score values gathered as of January 12, 2026. The underlying dataset for this evaluation involved a detailed and rigorous examination of more than 85,700 scientific documents published during the last three years by 11,502 leading and well-respected scientists specializing in Business and Management. From an initial pool of over 857 journals, each was carefully selected to meet strict criteria, ensuring the highest quality and relevance in this domain.

The depth and complexity of the analytical process, led by experts in bibliometrics and subject-matter specialists, underpin the credibility and reliability of this ranking.
