The ranking of scholarly journals in international human resource management

Abstract

Based on the opinions of experts in the field of international human resource management (IHRM), scholarly journals were nominated and ranked. Each respondent nominated five journals he or she would reference when writing a manuscript or researching a topic in international human resource management. The same journals were also ranked. Based on both the nominations and rankings, strong agreement was found for the top journals in IHRM. These included both mainstream management journals (e.g., Academy of Management Journal) and sub-field journals (e.g., International Journal of Human Resource Management). This study suggests that, besides the mainstream journals, international management journals have both prestige and impact in the sub-field of international human resource management.
