Business, Management and Accounting Journals’ Ranking: An Empirical Evaluation of Journal Ranking-Publication Difficulty Factors (JR-PDF) Model

Abstract

Business, management, and accounting study at the university level seems to be very important in developing countries.  It can be hard for academics in those fields to choose the right journal to publish their study results. 

The goal of this study project is to use the "Journals Ranking Using Publication Difficulty Factors model (JR-PDF)" to test how well the journals rank in the fields of business, management, and accounting.

The information gathered comes from about 290 journals in the given field. When JR-PDF was compared to well-known databases, the results showed that they worked with each other very well. To make the proposed model more valid and reliable, more work could be done by collecting data about the academic journals in the biological and agricultural sciences.
