Discussion: View Thread

I confess a personal stake in this question, as Howard Aldrich and I have a forthcoming article in AMP (currently at the "in-press" stage on the website). Because AMP has a respectable impact factor and it's in the FT45 list, I was surprised to find that my departments rates it an "AB", despite having 35 management journals with lower impact factors that we rate as "A". My sense is that my department has little sense of what the journal is or what it's about. Perhaps this has something to do with its past as the Academy of Management Executive and perhaps it has something to do with its mandate of synthesizing evidence for the non-specialist academic reader (which is apparently regarded less favorably than other mandates).  I am wondering about the experience of other departments.

Thanks,

Alex
