Consideration for Journal Acceptance Form

Faculty may petition to add a journal to the Journal Quality List (JQL) by submitting a request using the form below. Once a petition is submitted, the Research and Scholarship Committee will convene to review and vote on the petition, according to our established quality criteria adopted by the faculty (and described in Appendices A-E in the HCBE Faculty Handbook). The list is updated when new journals are approved for addition to our JQL.

Effective 10/25/2023, journals less than 15 years old will be approved for five years and then revisited. Review the list of approved journals.

I. Preliminary Considerations
Before completing this form, please do the following:

Check if the journal is listed on the most recent ABDC, AJG (ABS), or Harzing lists. Listed journals are already accepted. If it is not listed, please proceed with your submission.

It is recommended that you first discuss a potential journal with members of your department. Indicate to what extent have you discussed the quality/acceptability of this journal with your Department Chair or Research and Scholarship Committee Representative.
