New Database to Identify Business Journals

The libraries have added a new resource particularly useful to business faculty trying to identify important business journals in which to publish their research. Cabell's Directory of Publishing Opportunities - Business Set (UST users only) is a directory of over 1,180 journals in accounting, economics and finance, management, and marketing. Individual journal records (in PDF format) include contact information for each journal; information on the journal’s topical scope, peer review processes, circulation data, and acceptance rate; and manuscript submission guidelines.

Users can view an alphabetical list of all journals; select an index of topics to view journal titles, peer review indicator, and acceptance rate; or perform a filtered search according to pre-set criteria. (Thanks to John Heintz for the information!)
