Abstract
Journal lists that rate the quality of academic publications were created to help libraries prioritize their journal purchasing decisions, not to measure the value of individual intellectual contributions.
Even so, research-focused business schools increasingly rely on journal lists to evaluate faculty intellectual contributions, compelling faculty to focus more on where they publish than on what they publish.
To produce research with true societal impact, business schools must abandon one-size-fits-all journal list metrics in favor of diverse, personalized, mission-driven research objectives for each faculty member.
