The
One of the Premier Academic
Journals in Business Management
(Please scroll down to view
Figures 1-3)
Already a highly respected journal in the field, the JOM continues to rise in reputation and prominence
among peer journals representing management disciplines. Some of the journal’s qualifications include:
- Highest
citation based impact factor of any operations management journal. The five year citation impact factor
measures a longer period than the two year period used by Thomson/ISI in
order to capture a journal’s influence with less stimulus from self
citations. The impact factor score
of 3.80 for JOM in 2007 indicates that the average article published
during the period 2001-2006 was cited by later articles 3.80 times. Figure 1 shows JOM’s
impact factor for the last three years relative to 3 other leading
operations management journals.
- Consistently
ranked by academic studies as being in the top tier of operations
management journals
- Broad
international influence. JOM
articles were downloaded ~340,000 times in the 12 month period ending
December 1, 2008. While very
influential in the
- Strong
community of researchers, with broad impact beyond journal
readership. Figure 3 shows the
percentage of self citations (i.e. articles in a given journal citing that
journal) within the last two years.
While a degree of self citation shows interest within the journal’s
core audience, too high a percentage can indicate that the journal is not
reaching a broader community.
- Listing
as one of the Financial Times top 40 journals
- Inclusion
as one of 5 operations management journals on the UT Dallas journals list
- The
only operations management journal dedicated to theory-driven, empirically
based research
JOM is one of the premier
journals in the area of operations and supply chain management – particularly
its focus on high quality, empirical research.
