Abstract

In 1958, the Lincoln Electric Company of Cleveland, Ohio formalized its lifetime employment policy, which had already been in effect for many years. The company is the world's largest producer of arc‐welding products, employing nearly 3,000 people, mostly in two factories near Cleveland. There have been no layoffs at Lincoln since World War II. Since 1958, every Lincoln worker with over two years' longevity has been guaranteed work for at least thirty hours per week, forty‐nine weeks per year.

Abstract

Purpose

Dozens of peer‐reviewed, English language journals are currently published in our field. How ought we to evaluate them? This paper seeks to answer this question.

Design/methodology approach

The paper utilizes both relevant literature and data on entrepreneurship journals. The literature derives from both information science and other research areas that reflect on their journals. The data derives from six citation measures from Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science.

Findings

The paper finds that there are 59 currently published English language, peer reviewed journals in entrepreneurship. Contestable judgments based on their impact measures suggest that one of these 59 could be considered as “A+”, four as “A”, five as “AB”, eight as “B”, four as “BC”, 23 as “C”, thirteen as “barely detectable”, and one as “insufficient data but promising”.

Research limitations/implications

Journal rankings affect the resources and prestige accorded to business schools, disciplines and subdisciplines, and individual scholars. However, the need to fit evaluations to school strategy implies that no rating system, ours included, is definitive. Multiple measures are needed, letter grades are misleading, and journal rankings should match the institution's strategy and priorities in stakeholder service. A wider purpose of this study is to alert readers to the range of current methodologies and the limits of conventional rankings.

Originality/value

The conclusions presented in this paper appear innocuous, but standard practice is to use restrictive measures, to employ letter grades, and to prioritize only one stakeholder: scholars. These practices are poorly suited to the entrepreneurship field.
