The Academic Journal Guide (AJG), which is reviewed and published every three years by Association of Business Schools (ABS), is an influential guide that helps management scholars make decisions about where they should seek to have their work published. It ranks journals on a scale of 1 to 4*. The AJG is based upon peer review and editorial and expert judgement following from the evaluation of publications, and is backed by statistical information relating to citation.
