journals in Scopus are credible ranking

Not that I'm aware of, but you can build your own ranking using filters from Scopus or Web of Science.

One important thing though: entrepreneurship research reaches well beyond journals dedicated to entrepreneurship. You will find, for instance, excellent contributions in the Journal of Technology Transfer (mostly for academic entrepreneurhsip) or in economic geography journals (in case you're interested in entrepreneurial systems/ecosystems). None of these journals is classified as 'entrepreneurshp journals'.

Many thanks for your valuable thoughts Bruno. I think you’re right. I’ll follow your advice and do some analysis and see how it goes. As for those other non classified journals, I’m well aware of those ones but was interested in purely entrepreneurship journals in particular. Many thanks!

journals in Scopus are credible ranking

Hi Marwan,

in Germany we use the following: http://vhbonline.org/vhb4you/jourqual/vhb-jourqual-3/teilrating-entrepreneurship/

Even though international rankings may deviate, it gives you a good list of target journals for entrepreneurs hip research. And you can always check, e.g., these journals' SJR rankings.

I have read literature on Entrepreneurship and also recently read a research paper that gave the

names of the following journals as been credible:

Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal (AEJ)

Academy of Management Journal

Entrepreneurship and Regional Development

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ET&P)

International Journal of Entrepreneurship (IJE)

International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation

International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (IJEIM)

International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business (IJESB)

International Journal of Entrepreneurship Education (IJEE)

International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship (IJGE)

Journal of Applied Psychology

Journal of Business Venturing: Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Finance, Innovation and

Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship (JDE)

Journal of International Entrepreneurship

Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship

Journal of Small Business Management (JSBM)

Journal of Small Business Strategy

Regional Development

Small Business Economics and Strategic Management Journal.

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal

The Journal of Asia Entrepreneurship and Sustainability.

I hope this information will be useful

In Shefiu's list are several journals included that are not ranked. So you better double check here http://www.scimagojr.com/ or here: http://www.journal-scholar-metrics.infoec3.es/layout.php?id=home

Hi Charlott,

Thank you very much for your valuable input. I will look it up

https://sites.google.com/site/section37cnrs/Home/revues37

look at https://harzing.com/

Anne Wil Harzing is an academic who has been correlating Journal Quality lists for years.

Most of these lists can be looked at by subject area.

I use a combination of Harzing (thank you Stephen) and the ABS list (thank you Giacomo) to make my own list of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education journals. These are the ones that I use because they reflect my interests. (Each title is followed by the ABS star rating).

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice 4, Journal of Business Venturing 4, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal 4, British Educational Research Journal 3, Entrepreneurship and Regional Development 3, Family Business Review 3, International Small Business Journal 3, Journal of Small Business Management 3, Management Learning 3, Small Business Economics 3, Studies in Higher Education 3, International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior and Research 2, International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2, Journal of Family Business Strategy 2, Journal of Management Education 2, Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development 2, Venture Capital: An International Journal of Entrepreneurial Finance 2, Action Learning 1, Education and Training 1, International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal 1, Journal of Enterprising Culture 1, Journal of International Entrepreneurship 1, Journal of Entrepreneurship 1, Journal of Small Business and Entrepreneurship 1, Social Enterprise Journal 1, World Review of Entrepreneurship, Management and Sustainable Development 1, Journal of Entrepreneurship Education 0, Journal of Experiential Education 0.

Thank you all for the valuable inputs and the detailed info you have provided. I am grateful to all of you

Charlot's list is so accurate to that one used in Spain, where the journals included in JCR and SJR rankings are hte most important in the academic career.

I strongly believed that journals in Scopus are highly credible.

you can find the ranking in ABDC ranking list

Dear Marwan,

You have received very good advice from my colleagues on academic journals' ranking in SJR, internal SCOPUS metrics (SNIP) and WoS ranking (Journal citation reports within WoS).

Please, be aware that there is another type of ranking for entrepreneurship journals -- the ranking given by real entrepreneurs on usefulness of specific sources of data, advice etc. to start and to run new businesses. There is no uniform worldwide ranking for such "grey" journals which can be just specialized Internet portals or even personal blogs. Most of such resources are industry and country specific (with some exceptions like https://timnovate.wordpress.com) but nevertheless all of them aim to help entrepreneurs. A look at such resources may be a useful addition to reading academic journals.

KInd regards,

Igor Gurkov

I fi d Scimago very useful for all nournals indexed in Scopus.

Dear Marwan,

The Academic Journal Guide 2015 (ABS list) is definitely the place to start: https://charteredabs.org/academic-journal-guide-2015-view/

Best regards,

Igor Laine

I disagree and would even suggest to ignore ABS's Academic Journal Guide (AJG). ABS has recently published a 2018 version of the AJG. I have analyzed it in the following blog post and came to the conclusion that it does not reflect the quality of journals in my discipline at all (JCR impact factors and the VHB list seems to be more reliable, but also be careful with such metrics): https://scmresearch.org/2018/03/14/ranking-journals-academic-journal-guide-2018-abs-list/

Considering my experience as an upcoming researcher, I will advise you or whosoever is interested in publishing his or her article in an entrepreneurship journal, to first of all consider the following "A" grade associations that have journals and hosts annual conferences on entrepreneurship (this is because you stand a chance of gaining valuable insights and an honest critic of your work at these meetings):

(1) The Journal of Small Business Management (JSBM) : This is the journal of the International Council for Small Business (ICSB) founded in 1955. Acceptance Rate is 8.00% for about 700 submissions annually.

(2) Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice: This is a journal of the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE), which is an affiliate of the ICSB founded in 1981.

(3) Journal of Small Business Management: This is also a journal of the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE), which is an affiliate of the ICSB.

(4) Frontiers of Entrepreneurship Research (FER): A compilation of the conference proceedings and of the top 40 papers presented each year at the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference (BCERC). BCERC is widely considered the premier research conference on entrepreneurship and the work truly exemplifies new frontiers in the discipline of entrepreneurship. Babson University founded in 1919 is ranked no. 1 in entrepreneurship education worldwide.

Furthermore, Babson college is one of the lead universities supporting its annual publication of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), which is the world's foremost study of entrepreneurship. GEM began in 1999 as a joint project between Babson College (USA) and London Business School (UK). The aim was to consider why some countries are more 'entrepreneurial' than others. 18 years on, GEM is the richest resource of information on the subject, publishing a range of global, national and 'special topic' reports on an annual basis.

Hence, you need to first of all consult these repositories of new knowledge, before taking your next firm step in this area of study.
