INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL ACADEMIC JOURNALS

The purpose of this study is to develop a ranking of knowledge management and intellectual capital academic journals. This was achieved through a survey of 233 active researchers in this field. To develop a ranking, two different methods were employed: journal rank-order and journal scoring methods, which generated similar results. The following list of the top five journals (out of a total of 20 examined) was obtained: Journal of Knowledge Management, Journal of Intellectual Capital, Knowledge Management Research and Practice, International Journal of Knowledge Management, and the Learning Organization. It was also concluded that the major factors affecting perceptions of quality of academic journals are editor and review board reputation, inclusion in citation indexes, opinion of leading researchers, appearance in ranking lists, and citation impact.
