Journal Indexing

Look for information about journal abstracting and indexing while searching a journal on their publisher web page. Journal included in an index are considered high quality as compared to those journals that are not listed. Indexing is one criterion that one could use while choosing which journal to publish.

The ABDC Journal Quality List follows an extensive review conducted by Expert Panels, which assessed journals relating to Business and Taxation Law; Economics; Finance including Actuarial Studies; Information Systems; Management, Commercial Services and Transport and Logistics; Marketing and Tourism; and other areas.
