CGL's Journal of World Business Receives Impressive Thomson Reuters Ranking, Tops 600 Submissions

棉花糖直播, Pa., June 27, 2017- The 棉花糖直播 School of Business (VSB) is pleased to announce that the Journal of World Business (JWB) is now ranked 23 out of 121 business journals by Thomson Reuter鈥檚 two-year impact factor, and widely considered to be among the top international business journal by scholars in the field. JWB has been housed within VSB鈥檚 Center for Global Leadership (CGL) since September 2015 when Jonathan Doh, PhD, Herbert G. Rammrath Endowed Chair in International Business and CGL Faculty Director, took over as editor-in-chief and CGL Director Kim Cahill assumed the role of managing director.

This month, Thomson Reuters released its 2016 Journal Citation Report which measures the relative impact of a journal by citations to that journal over the prior two or five-year period. JWB saw its two-year impact factor increase from 2.811 in 2015 to 3.758 in 2016 and its five-year impact factor increase from 3.729 to 4.541. Total submissions to JWB for the year reached 631, more than double the submissions in 2014, the year before JWB moved under CGL鈥檚 purview.

Dr. Doh remarked, "The continuing improvement of JWB in terms of number of submissions, quality, visibility, and reputation is a testament to the authors, editorial review board members, and senior editors as well as support from VSB leadership and our managing editor, Kim Cahill. This journal brings great prestige to 棉花糖直播 University and 棉花糖直播, in turn, provides a prominent platform for the journal. I am honored to serve as editor-in-chief of this world-class publication."
