The work they have carried out to analyse data, consult with subject communities and find consensus has led to an impressive and robust Guide to the range, subject matter and quality of journals in which business and management academics publish their research. With their hard work we have a Guide which is genuinely based upon peer review, along with editorial and expert judgements following from the evaluation of many hundreds of publications. We are also very thankful to the founding Editors of the Guide. ‘The ABS Guide’ was originally created and then published in 2009 through the initiative of Professor Charles Harvey, Aidan Kelly, Professor Huw Morris, and Professor Michael Rowlinson. Supported by their peer community they have helped produce a very valuable service to the business and management academic community. This 2015 edition of the Guide continues and builds on their work. Finally, we must thank Thomson Reuters for the permission to use their JCR data, and Elsevier for the use of their SNIP and SJR metrics powered by Scopus.

The Guide is based upon as to the relative standing of journals in each subject area. peer review, editorial and expert judgements following As a consequence, there is no mechanistic metrics based the evaluation of many hundreds of publications, and is formula that will capture the published ratings. informed by statistical information relating to citation. It is a guide to the range, subject matter and relative quality of On occasion, the ratings of some journals, when based purely journals in which business and management academics on such metrics, do not reflect the views of the relevant publish their research. academic community. Our purpose therefore was to produce a guide that took into consideration this subjective input. The primary motivation of the Editors and the Scientific Committee is to provide a level playing field. Emerging The subject experts (members of the Scientific Committee scholars will have greater clarity as to which journals to representing individual subject areas) were provided with a aim for, and where the best work in their field tends to be variety of metrics for each journal (detailed below) and were clustered. By the same measure, publication in top journals asked to consult widely within their respective subject area gives scholars a recognised currency on which career academic communities.

  • Economic History, Historical Analysis, and the “New History of Capitalism”
    Preliminary Draft- Comments Welcome Economic History, Historical Analysis, and the “New History of Capitalism” Eric Hilt* Department of Economics Wellesley College and NBER December, 2016 Abstract: This paper presents a critical survey of ten books from the history of capitalism, a newly emerging subfield of history. The books include Sven Beckert’s Empire of Cotton, Edward Bapitst’s The Half Has Never Been Told, and others on finance, risk, and conservative economic doctrines. The critical perspective of this new literature, which emphasizes the human costs of economic development, distinguishes it from the field of economic history. At their best, the books offer provocative insights and vivid descriptions of some of the darker episodes of our economic past. Yet their neglect of social scientific methods and lack of engagement with the economic history literature undermines their analysis and their effectiveness as social criticism. In this paper I highlight insights from the field of economic history that would strengthen the future work of historians of capitalism. I also suggest some questions that might create opportunities for cross-pollination, if not collaboration, between the two communities of scholars. * Email: [email protected]. I would like to thank Bill Collins, Ann Carlos, Peter Conti-Brown, Robert DuPlessis, Philip Hoffman, John Majewski, Naomi Lamoreaux, Noam Maggor, Petra Moser, Dan Raff, Paul Rhode, Caitlin Rosenthal, Gavin Wright, and seminar participants at the University of Pennsylvania for helpful comments and suggestions. I. Introduction Economic history was once a deeply interdisciplinary field. The Economic History Association was founded by members of both the American Historical Association and the American Economic Association, and the early volumes of the Journal of Economic History included numerous contributions by historians.

    Cronbach, L. J. (1951). Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests. Psychometrika, 16, 297-334 (28,307 citations in Google Scholar as of 4/1/2016). By far the most cited article in Psychometrika is Lee Cronbach’s famous study of coefficient alpha. I will address four questions: What makes the article special? Why do people cite the article more than other special articles? Was the article also influential beyond psychology? How does alpha fit in present-day psychometrics? What makes the article special? In the first half of the 20 th century, psychometricians distinguished two practically useful types of reliability, which were coefficients of stability and coefficients of equivalence. Coefficients of stability are correlations between two test scores obtained with the same test on two different time points, administered with a time interval that serves the psychologist’s purpose. The coefficient provides information about the stability of the attribute across the time interval. Coefficients of equivalence are correlations between two test scores based on different sets of items intended to measure the same attribute, and express the degree to which the different sets are interchangeable. Cronbach mentioned two additional coefficient types. One type is the coefficient of equivalence and stability that refers to the correlation between test scores on different sets of items, one set administered first and the other set administered after a useful time interval. The other type is the coefficient of precision , referring to the correlation between the scores on the same test administered twice in one session to the same group of persons. The latter coefficient is hypothetical and not realizable in practice.

  • A Creation Narrative for the Psychometric Society and Psychometrika: in the Beginning There Was Paul Horst
    A Creation Narrative for the Psychometric Society and Psychometrika: In the Beginning There Was Paul Horst There are four published sources available that can help develop a coherent account of the formation of the Psychometric Society (1935) and the founding of its journal, Psychometrika (1936): (1) Dunlap, J. W. (1942). The Psychometric Society|Roots and powers. Psychometrika, 7, 1{8. Jack Dunlap was the sixth President of the Soci- ety; this was his Presidential Address (given September 4, 1941). Dunlap is considered one of the founding group of six: Jack Dunlap; Paul Horst; Al- bert Kurtz; Marion Richardson; John Stalnaker; and Leon Thurstone. In the 1930s and 40s, Dunlap was a co-editor (for technical material) of the Journal of Educational Psychology (JEdP); rather surprisingly, JEdP was the only place to publish the type of quantitative work that Psychometrika would eventually solicit. As Dunlap states in the article listed below in (2) (1961, p. 66): The speaker [Dunlap] was approached because of his knowledge and the volume of tech- nical material available to him as editor of the Journal of Educational Psychology, the only outlet of consequence at that time for such articles. (2) Dunlap, J. W. (1961). Psychometrics|A special case of the Brahman theory. Psychometrika, 26, 65{71. As part of the Society's twenty-fifth an- niversary, the Chairman of the Program Committee for that year, Charles Wrigley, asked Jack Dunlap to review the early history of the organization and \discuss something of its achievements to date." This second paper is the result of that invitation. (3) Horst, P., & Stalnaker, J.

  • ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS the Transdisciplinary Journal of the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE)
    ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS The Transdisciplinary Journal of the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE) AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.2 • Impact Factor p.2 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 0921-8009 DESCRIPTION . The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature's household" (ecosystems) and "humanity's household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership. Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc.
