The College of Senior Scholars encourages colleagues, as well as deans and department chairs, to treat a list of premier journals as the top journals in our field. Such a list is intended to provide more consistency and meaningfulness to tenure and promotion cases.

The journal list is limited to those in the "IS field," and omits both multidisciplinary outlets and specialty areas. Nevertheless, the list recognizes topical, methodological, and geographical diversity. In addition, the review processes are stringent, editorial board members are widely-respected and recognized, and there is international readership and contribution.

The journals in the list are, in alphabetical order:

Decision Support Systems

European Journal of Information Systems

Information & Management

Information and Organization

Information Systems Journal

Information Systems Research

Journal of the AIS

Journal of Information Technology

Journal of MIS

Journal of Strategic Information Systems

MIS Quarterly

The Australian Business Deans Council's (ABDC) Journal Quality List is a journal ranking exercise undertaken by the Council that divides different business journals into four categories of quality: A*, A, B, C.

---- ABDC Journal Quality List

The Journal Quality List is a collation of journal rankings from a variety of sources. It is published primarily to assist academics to target papers at journals of an appropriate standard. It is not intended to be used for staff evaluation purposes.

The list was originally collated while the editor was associated with the Bradford University School of Management (1997-2001). Since then, the list has been updated and extended periodically to keep it current. The Journal Quality List comprises academic journals in the disciplinary area of Business & Economics.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the Journal Quality List, the editor will not be held responsible for omissions or errors. The current version of the JQL contains 11 different rankings of more than 830 journals.
