Abstract: 
Using 10 years of publication data (1995-2004) from four leading 
international business journals, we examine global patterns of 
international business research and school rankings. Although US 
institutions still lead in the international business research, non-US 
schools are making significant progress. Asian-Pacific and European schools 
are well represented among the schools that account for the most articles 
appearing in the four journals. International collaboration between 
scholars across the globe appears to enhance school ranking. (c) 2006
