JSCM's Impact Factor Soars to 10.6, Ranking 14th Highest Among Management Journals and Top Ranked for SCM

This week we learned that the Journal of Supply Chain Management’s impact factor has risen from 8.025 to 10.6, according to Clarivate Analytics. This, of course, shows the diligence of our editors, associate editors, reviewers, and authors. This impact factor ranks us as the 14th highest of all management journals and the top ranked for SCM.

We publish articles that challenge theoretical, methodological, and epistemological assumptions and have a strong societal impact. The complex and interconnected crises of our world are often related to supply chains, and we strongly believe that SCM research can help address these crises. JSCM is an empirical journal, and we are open to contemporary qualitative and quantitative approaches. We encourage submissions that move beyond naive positivism and that embrace the complexity and fluidity of our world.

Our publisher, Wiley, supports the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which recommends “[not to use] journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, as a surrogate measure of the quality of individual research articles, to assess an individual scientist’s contributions, or in hiring, promotion, or funding decisions.”
