The journals which contribute most to management research are identified and ranked based upon the number of citations they received during a recent four-year period in the two top management journals, Administrative Science Quarterly and The Academy of Management Journal. Rankings are provided based upon total citations, citations per article published annually, and citations per 10,000 words published annually. A final ranking of just the top ten management journals is based upon the last criterion.
