Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) 2019 Marketing Journals List

UPDATE: ABDC Marketing Journal Quality List 2022 here. 

This is a long-overdue post. The latest ABDC list was released on 6 December 2019. Marketing journals are listed under Field of research code: 1505.

There are some interesting and exciting developments and a lot of upward movement. I would say that the ABDC list has proven to more inclusive and more advanced as compared to the CABS (UK) list of marketing journals. 

Journal of Consumer Psychology has been promoted to A* and now there are 11 A* journals as compared to 10 in the previous list. 

There are now 38 A journals in the list, an increase from 29 in the previous list.

In the B list, there are now 60 journals as compared to 44 previously.

However, the number of C journals has become smaller, from 61 previously to just 45 in the new list. 

There are a few completely new entries to the list:

Tobacco Control entered directly as a B journal. 

There are also 6 new entries into the list as C journals:

1. Indian Journal of Marketing 
2. International Journal of Healthcare Management
3. International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Marketing
4. Journal of Marketing Analytics
5. Journal of Public Relations Education
6. Communication Research and Practice

The new changes are indicated by '*' behind the journal name.
