Abstract

This paper examined 82 international management journals’ citation impact rates to provide information about which journals served as more highly cited outlets for disseminating international management research findings. The five-year citation rate was calculated using the software program Publish or Perish. The journals were then ordered and categorized based on similar citation rates. The analysis showed a very skewed distribution in citation rates, with only a small number of journals having articles cited more than once per year. The journals were grouped into three suggested citation impact categories: high, strong, and moderate.
