Abstract: I obtained quality ratings and rankings of 39 journals in
operations management and related disciplines through surveys of faculty
members at top-25 US business schools in 2000 and in 2002. 1 also computed
five-year impact factors for 29 of these journals and developed a ranking
based on these impact factors. I found evidence of some change in journal
quality ratings over the two-year period. Ratings also differed by research
area but not by professorial level. In addition, I ranked the journals
based on the number of academics who rated their quality, calling this a
visibility measure. Finally, I compared my ratings to ratings in earlier
survey and citation studies. The quality ratings were more consistent than
the citation ratings.
