AcknowledgementsThe ABDC would particularly like to acknowledge the following people in the preparation of the2019 Journal Quality List (JQL) and Final Report: Professor Andrew O’Neil (BARDsNet Chair),Caroline Falshaw (ABDC Executive Officer), Leslie Falkiner-Rose (ABDC Communications), EmeritusProfessor Kim Langfield-Smith (Australia-based Advisor), Professor Geoff Wood (InternationalAdvisor), Professor Renee Fry-McKibbin (Australia-based Advisor), Alana Dorris (BARDsNetResearch Assistant), and Kristy-Lee Davis. The ABDC thanks the seven Panel Chairs for theiroutstanding leadership during the process and acknowledges the excellent contribution of Panelmembers. It also thanks members of the ABDC Steering Group for their important contributions tothe JQL review process.Background and ContextRigorous peer review lies at the heart of scholarly progress. In all Business disciplines, journals arethe central medium through which research is tried and tested by peers. There is a well-establishedlink between the inherent quality of research produced by scholars and the outlets in which theirresearch is published. In nearly all cases, the best quality research appears in journals that arerecognised as the best quality outlets. While the quality of journals is evidenced by metrics such ascitation rates and impact factors, peer judgements also play an important role in determining theesteem of an individual journal.In 2007, the ABDC determined that it would establish a Journal Quality List for the use of itsmembers. While the ABDC accepted that it was impossible to establish a journal list that wouldachieve agreement among all interested stakeholders, it nevertheless recognised the importanceof establishing a Journal List that would help guide researchers to select quality outlets as targetsfor their research. The inaugural version of the ABDC Journal Quality List was released in 2008 andupdated in 2010. The aggregated 2010 ABDC List comprised 2,671 different journal titles, with A*:5.5%; A: 19.5%; B: 27.6%; and C: 47.4% of journals. The 2013 ABDC Journal Quality List comprised2,767 different journal titles, with A*: 6.9%; A: 20.8%; B: 28.4%; and C: 43.9%.In 2016, the ABDC authorised an interim review of the Journal Quality List. It had a narrow focusaround several carefully defined scenarios that encompassed the inclusion of new businessrelevant journals; removal of very low quality journals; switching of Fields of Research (FoRs);assignment of journals; and correction of factual errors in the ABDC database. After the review, theinterim List endorsed 2,777 journal titles, with A*: 6.9%; A: 21.13%; B: 28.98%; and C: 42.81%.The 2019 Journal Quality List builds on this process. Like previous exercises, it is the result of acomprehensive Panel-led review in accordance with detailed Terms of Reference approved bythe ABDC (see Appendix 2). The 2019 List endorses 2,682 journal entries, with A*: 7.41% (199);A: 24.27% (651); B: 31.69% (850); and C: 36.61% (982). The 2019 List includes 144 upgrades; 17downgrades; the addition of 157 new journals; and the removal of 241 journals. The removal ofjournals, which appeared on the 2016 List, is the result of a careful focus to ensure that the revisedJQL reflects currency and captures genuine quality outlets that meet the substantive business4

element test, and fall within the relevant Field of Research codes. In 2019, for the first time in thehistory of the ABDC Journal Quality List, the proportion of journals removed from the List is greaterthan those ystemsEconomic TheoryAppliedEconomicsEconometricsOther EconomicsAccountingFinance includingActuarial StudiesBusiness portation &Freight ServicesOtherCommercial &Contract LawTaxation 1599180105180125AllTotalJournals84186A* 6970.1136.61A feature of journal ranking lists is often a certain stickiness. It is undoubtedly easier to upgradejournals than to downgrade them. Even the Financial Times List of top management journals,which is quite selective about which outlets to include, has progressively expanded in lengthover the years. The ABDC has sought to be vigilant on this, particularly when it comes to the A*category; some journals have gone up and others down, but the proportion of A*s on the List hasroughly remained the same. However, in considering the issue of ranking inflation, it is also worthreflecting on the nature of specific journals. For instance, a journal that carries 10 or more issuesa year with 10 articles per issue may be more inflationary than one that only appears four timesa year. In other words, it is worth considering the relative thickness and frequency of individualjournals as well as simply the overall number of A and A* journals.5

To place the scope of the 2019 Journal Quality List into a broader perspective, the AustralianResearch Council’s Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) 2018 Journal List1 – which is not aranking list but does include journals eligible for submission in the 2018 ERA – has 3,365 journalsacross the Field of Research codes covered by the 2019 JQL. This compares to 2,682 listed journalsin the 2019 JQL.However, to paraphrase the Chartered Association of Business Schools Academic Journal Guide2,non-inclusion in the ABDC’s 2019 JQL should not necessarily be taken as a judgement of journalquality, but may reflect a wide range of factors. Inter alia, this may be a simple factor of notmeeting the methodological criteria for inclusion (see below).As stated in the 2016 Interim Review Report, journal lists should be a starting point only forassessing publication quality and should not constrain researchers to a particular domain. In theend, there is no substitute for assessing individual articles on a case-by-case basis.Footnotes1The key criteria for inclusion on the ERA 2018 List was that journals had to be ‘academic/scholarly; publish original peer reviewed research;and have one or more ISSN’. For details, see ia/era-2018-journal-list2The 2018 AJG is available at: 18/6

Method and ApproachIn early 2018, the ABDC appointed Emeritus Professor Kim Langfield-Smith and Professor GeoffreyWood to review the methodology for a future ABDC Journal Quality List. The Review Panelprovided a report to the ABDC in which they outlined six specific recommendations.After taking into account expert review and feedback from its Business Academic RsearchDirectors’ Network (BARDsNet), the ABDC endorsed the following methodology for the 2019Journal Ranking exercise:1. Journal quality ratings should be validated by Expert Panels. The Panels should be informedby globally recognised and externally validated journal ranking lists3, appropriate and selectcitation metrics (e.g. SCImago) and, if required, expert peer review2. The following criteria must be met by each journal in the ABDC Journal Quality List. A journalmust: Have reached the necessary quality threshold level, as determined by the Expert Panel usingglobally accepted, externally validated journal ranking lists, journal citation metrics andexpert peer review Adhere to general scholarly principles, including scholarly peer review Be relevant to the discipline areas of the ABDC, which include Management, Accounting,Economics, Information Systems, Business and Taxation Law and other agreed Fields ofResearch (FoRs) Not appear to be a predatory journal3. An indicator for journals of regional significance should not be incorporated against relevantjournals in the ABDC Journal List4. A new quality category (e.g. A**) should not be added to the ABDC Journal List to recogniseworld elite journals deemed to be the best in the world5. Members of the Expert Panels, including the Panel Chair, should be selected through aformal call for Expressions of Interest (EoI). The processes will be similar to those used by theAustralian Research Council for Panel selection. The ABDC will provide appropriate levels of administrative support so Panel membersshould not expect to make significant time commitments to the Journal Quality List Review.Administration will include a Research Assistant to support gathering data on each journal There should be between five and eight Expert Panels as the Panels do not need to mirrorthe FoRs The size of each Panel should reflect the number and size of the disciplines represented on it Where possible, Panels should be representative and reflect expertise in terms of gender,institutional affiliation and geographic locationFootnote3Including UK ABS Journal Quality Guide, UT Dallas Top 100 List, and Financial Times.7

6. More explicit and rigorous processes for the ranking of journals should be developed andreported.Under this methodology, the ABDC tasked BARDsNet, through its Chair, to develop Terms ofReference. These were subsequently adopted by the ABDC Executive in February 2019 (seeAppendix 2).In accordance with the methodology, the following Panels were constituted after a formalExpression of Interest process:Accounting (covering journals across 1501)Professor Gary Monroe (Chair) – University of New South WalesProfessor Neil Fargher – Australian National UniversityProfessor Alan Lowe – RMITProfessor Anne Wyatt – University of QueenslandBusiness and Taxation Law (covering journal across 180105 and 180125)Professor Julie-Anne Tarr (Chair) – Queensland University of TechnologyProfessor Lisa Marriot – Victoria University of WellingtonProfessor Brett Freudenberg – Griffith UniversityProfessor Jenny Buchan – University of New South WalesEconomics (covering journals across 0104 and 1401-1499)Professor James Morley (Chair) – University of SydneyProfessor Philip Grossman – Monash UniversityAssociate Professor Rasheda Khanam – University of Southern QueenslandProfessor Pascalis Raimondos – Queensland University of TechnologyProfessor Sandy Suardi – University of WollongongFinance including Actuarial Studies (covering journals across 1502)Professor Stephen Taylor (Chair) – University of Technology SydneyProfessor Millicent Chang – University of WollongongProfessor Hazel Bateman – University of New South WalesProfessor Jerry Parwada – University of New South WalesInformation Systems (covering journals across 0806)Professor Deborah Bunker (Chair) – University of SydneyProfessor Alexander Richter – Victoria University of WellingtonAssociate Professor Sabine Matook – University of QueenslandAssociate Professor John Venable – Curtin University8

This provided the option for submissions to add a new journal, remove ajournal, upgrade a journal, downgrade a journal, and change the FoR of a journal. In addition toresponding to these submissions, the Panels themselves retained the option of initiating decisionsabout individual journals.The Panels had three months – from 3 June to 30 August – to deliberate over theirrecommendations. These recommendations were provided to the ABDC Office in early September.On 23 September, the ABDC released a draft of the Journal Ranking List and invited feedback by 18October. Following the closure of the feedback process, Panel Chairs were provided with eligiblefeedback regarding their particular FoRs. In accordance with the Terms of Reference (ToRs), Chairsconsulted with fellow Panel members only where they judged it necessary. After consideringfeedback, Panel Chairs confirmed their recommendations on behalf of each Panel in earlyNovember 2019.9

OutcomesA detailed summary by each Panel’s response to eligible submissions4 (which closed on 31May) can be found in Appendix 1.5 These responses include recommended journal upgrades,downgrades, removal of journals, selected changes to FoR classification for individual outlets,and referrals of several submissions to other Panels. Most recommendations were in response toeligible submissions, but in a number of cases they were initiated by the Panels themselves.In response to referrals from other Panels and eligible feedback on the draft List (which closed on18 October), the following amendments were recommended by Panel Chairs:Asia Pacific Journal of Marketing and Logistics – upgrade from B to A in 1505Bayesian Analysis – upgrade from B to A in 0104British Food Journal – include as B in 1505Canadian Journal of Statistics – upgrade from B to A in 0104Communication Research and Practice – include as C in 1505China Accounting and Finance Review – upgrade from B to A in 15016Electronic Journal of Probability – include in 0104 as AGlobal Finance Journal – upgrade from B to AIndian Journal of Marketing – include as C in 1505International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Marketing – include as C in 1505Journal of Management Accounting Research – upgrade from A to A* in 1501Journal of Marketing Analytics – include as C in 1505Journal of Statistical Software – upgrade from C to A in 01047Journal of Theoretical Probability – upgrade from C to A in 01048Stochastics – upgrade from C to B in 0104Tobacco Control – include as B in 1505Transnational Corporations Review – include as C in 1402Footnotes4To meet eligibility requirements, submissions must have emanated from Australia or New Zealand. The primary submitter must have been arepresentative of one of three relevant stakeholder groups: (a) A Business School/Faculty located in ANZ, or a non-business school or facultylocated in ANZ deemed to have a legitimate interest in the disciplines covered by the ABDC Journal Quality List; (b) A relevant Peak Body representing ANZ academics (where such a body is located in ANZ); or (c) An individual academic or groups of like-minded academics with formalaffiliation(s) to a university/universities based in ANZ (each signatory must have a relevant minimum of 0.4 FTE position).5Note that all eligible submissions to the 2019 JQL process will be posted on the ABDC website in 2020.Noting that the recommended ranking moves up to two places since 2016, the Panel Chair (ACCT) provided the following justification: ‘Whenwe read the papers, we thought they were similar to other A ranked papers in terms of quality. We subsequently found out that this is probablythe best accounting journal out of China. The feedback from a couple of reputable academics confirmed our opinion that this should be an Aranked journal. It probably should have been at least B if not A in the previous 2016 List’.6Noting the recommended ranking moves up two places rather than one, the Panel Chair (ECON) provided the following justification: ‘TheJournal of Statistical Software is a good field journal in applied statistics with significant contributions from researchers in business schools. Ithas a strong editorial board and impact metrics. Its focus on contributions to software for applied statistics makes it difficult to compare to verymany other journals. But the rigorousness of its editorial process places it as an A journal’.7Noting the recommended ranking moves up two places rather than one, the Panel Chair (ECON) provided the following justification: ‘TheJournal of Theoretical Probability is a good field journal in applied statistics, with a similar international regard and impact measures asAdvances in Applied Probability (rated A). It has a good editorial board and rigorous editorial process that places it as an A journal’.810

The following journal was removed from the List due to an earlier inaccurate interpretation of the0806 Panel decision, which was not to include this outlet following a referral from the 1503 Panel:Telecommunications PolicyThe following journal was withdrawn from the List at the request of the journal editor (and withagreement of the 1503 Panel Chair):VikalpaFollowing further analysis, the following journals were removed (endorsed by the relevant PanelChairs) because they did not meet the required quality threshold:Accounting and Finance ResearchAsian Economic and Financial ReviewAsian Journal of Empirical ResearchAsian Journal of Finance and AccountingAsian Social ScienceAsian-African Journal of Economics and EconometricsCuadernos de Economía – Spanish Journal of Economics and FinanceGlobal Business and Finance ReviewIndian Journal of Economics and BusinessInternational Journal of Accounting and Financial ReportingInternational Journal of Ecological Economics and StatisticsInternational Journal of Economic ResearchInternational Journal of Statistics and EconomicsReview of Applied EconomicsReview of Economics & FinanceThe following entries were removed from the List (endorsed by relevant Panel Chairs) because theyare no longer published as journals or cannot be confirmed as current publications:Accounting, Commerce and Finance: The Islamic Perspective JournalAdvances in Financial EducationAdvances in Futures and Options ResearchAdvances in Quantitative Analysis of Finance and AccountingApplied Financial Economic LettersAsia Pacific Economic PapersAsia Pacific Population JournalBank of Valletta ReviewBrookings Wharton Papers on Financial ServicesCasualty Actuarial Society ForumEconomic and Financial ReviewEmergo11

Mandated under the 2019 JQL Terms of Reference (ToRs), the purpose of the SteeringGroup was to provide a level of oversight not present in previous reviews. In accordance with theToRs, the Steering Group took responsibility for the final JQL recommendations submitted to theABDC Executive.The operational task of the Steering Group was to identify any anomalies in the Panelrecommendations with a view to recommending a Final List for submission to the ABDC Executive.It is important to underscore that the Steering Group review was the penultimate step in the2019 JQL process before the final step of the ABDC Executive endorsing the 2019 JQL. In thevery few cases where there were apparent anomalies, or where something appeared to havebeen overlooked by a Panel, the Steering Group outlined its queries via email with the relevantPanel Chairs. In the vast majority of instances, the Steering Group agreed with the Panel Chairs’justifications for their recommendations. After this consultation with Panel Chairs, the SteeringGroup made the following specific amendments to the Journal Quality List:Journal of Sport Management and Sport Management Review were both re-ranked to A in light ofmetrics and relative standing in the field.Biometrics was removed from the List because it did not meet the substantive business elementtest.Biostatistics was re-ranked from A* to A in light of metrics and relative standing in the field.Annals of Applied Statistics was re-ranked from A* to A in light of metrics and relative standing inthe field.Footnote9Professor David Grant (President of ABDC and Chair); Professor Chris Styles (Vice President ABDC); Professor Kim Langfield-Smith; ProfessorGeoff Wood (ABDC JQL International Advisor); Professor Renee Fry-McKibbin, and Professor Andrew O’Neil (BARDsNet Chair).12

Annals of Applied Probability was re-ranked from A* to A in light of metrics and relative standing inthe field.On 4 December 2019, the ABDC Executive endorsed the 2019 Journal Quality List for release on 6December 2019.Beyond the 2019 ReviewAfter each successive ABDC Journal Quality List Review, attention inevitably turns to the nextreview. The ABDC Journal Ranking List has been in existence for just over a decade, so it isopportune to reassess its process in terms of the frequency of review, methodology, and scope.Therefore, the BARDsNet Chair, who will lead the process review in the second half of 2020, willinvite feedback from key stakeholder groups, including those directly involved in the 2019 Review– for example Panel and Steering Group members – as well as ABDC members, the academy, andpublishers.13

Appendix 1Individual Panel Reports14

Information SystemsThe Panel at all times followed the direction and ToRS as published by the ABDC. The Panel Chairensured that the Australasian community was made aware of the journal review process (wellahead of the submission deadline) through email lists and professional associations so as tomaximise IS (0806) academic community input to the List review. The Panel met three times fortwo hours via Skype (14 May, 30 August and 7 November 2019) and once face-to-face (all day on24 July 2019) in Brisbane at the University of Queensland campus. When evaluating a journal’sranking on the List, the Panel referred to internationally recognised and externally validated journalranking lists (including the ACPHIS List), appropriate and select citations metrics such as SCImagoas well as discipline quality and relevance indicators such as editorial boards and publicationdisciplinary focus. The Panel also acted to ensure that an Australasian perspective was adequatelyand accurately represented. In instances where there was a Panel member conflict of interest,independent expert peer review was undertaken external to the Panel.15
