JSCM Impact Factor 2019

At JSCM we know that impact factors, cite scores, and the like are poor proxies of a journal’s quality let alone the impact of any one article. However, we also know that authors need this information.

Therefore we are pleased to inform you that JSCM’s ISI impact factor for 2019 is 6.842 (2018 7.125) in the just released Journal Citation Reports. We would also note that the Journals impact factor with self-citations removed was 5.842. JSCM was 10th out of 226 management journals and first in operations and supply chain management. JSCM has been first or second among operations and supply chain management journals for the last 10 years. This along with the recently released CiteScore metrics where JSCMs citescore of 13.4 was 11thout of all 1914 Business, Management & Accounting journals, is continued evidence of the impact of research published in the Journal as well as the wider discipline.

These results are a reflection of the quality of research being done in the community as well as JSCM’s exceptional AEs, ERB members, and reviewers. Articles in JSCM have this impact because AE’s and reviewers work with authors to develop their initial submissions into the best papers possible.
