All-out campaign regarding revision of FT50 journal list

    Dear Colleagues,

    We are all receiving emails requesting our support for the inclusion of specific journals on the revised FT50 journal list. Being a resident of Washington, DC, I could not help to notice that this is turning into a familiar all-out lobbying campaign. Editors and professional organizations requesting support for their journals are most certainly NOT to blame-this is the reality we live in. But, frankly, it is sad to see that so much is at stake by a list created by journalists whose interest are not necessarily scientific advancement or impact/application of research.

    The following articles published in the February 2020 issue of Academy of Management Perspectives offer suggestions on how we can do things better:

    I look forward to a vigorous and informative debate on these important issues!

    All the best,

    --Herman.
