Australian Business Deans Council - ABDC Marketing Journals List 2014

Note: This is the old 2014 list. View the updated ABDC 2022 Marketing journals list here

The list of marketing journals is compiled from the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List 2013.

Journals are ranked into four categories of quality, namely, A*, A, B, C, with journals listed under A* considered the best in terms of quality.

Comparing the ABDC list with the ABS ranking of Marketing Journals, the guys from the Land Down Under mostly agree with the Brits. However, there are some clear differences of opinion regarding certain journals. For example, the European Journal of Marketing, which is a 3* ABS journal is listed as A*.

Much more surprising was the fact that five journals which are ranked 1* in the ABS list, are listed as an A journals in the ABDC list. This includes Electronic Markets, International Journal of Consumer Studies, Journal of Brand Management, Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, and Marketing Intelligence and Planning, which are all 1* journals in the ABS list. There are also five 2* ABS journals listed as A as well.

I also notice that their list of Marketing journals is much longer and they list several journals not included in the ABS list including sports, services and digital marketing journals, which I personally think is a good thing as they are underrepresented in the ABS list.

  5. The list is helpful. However, I am wondering how you perceive SSCI, JCR.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Here in Malaysia, most universities use the SSCI list (ISI citations). I have mixed views - some journals with high impact factors are not included in the list while proceedings of some conferences are included as well.
    As for the Journal of Consumer Research, well I hope to get published in it one day. No doubt regarding it's impact and prestige.
