Emerald Group Publishing Limited is pleased to announce the inclusion of Management Decision in the Thomson Scientific Social Sciences Citation Index. This brings the total number of Emerald journals listed in Thomson Scientific to 36 with a further two listed on its Current Contents Connect update service.
Management Decision has a long distinguished history, presenting the best in management thought and practice for the commercial and intellectual advantage of managers and management researchers. The journal was founded in 1963 at the time of the first wave of growth and development of business schools in the Western world. It was acquired by Emerald in 1968 as the first journal in Emerald’s business and management portfolio and is now in its 45th year having tracked thought on strategy, policy and decision making through that time.
Publisher Kim Foster says, “Management Decision is one of our leading journals and was the second most accessed journal in the Emerald database in 2006, achieving over half a million downloads during the year. The inclusion of the journal is a real testament to the hard work that John Peters (editor) and supporting teams have put in over the years. The Social Sciences Citation Index is the key service used by academics and librarians to measure the quality of journals, so inclusion provides an excellent message in terms of the ever increasing quality of our portfolio and the consistent quality of our content.”
The company’s chief executive, John Peters, has edited Management Decision for the last 20 years. He comments, “This is great news and I’m really pleased. It’s a lovely 40th birthday present for the company with this recognition of its founding journal.”
Management Decision publishes research and reflection on theory, practice, techniques and context of decisions taken in and about business and business research. Its high calibre contributions, from leading management philosophers and practitioners, make it an invaluable and well respected title.
