Top 5 Circular Economy Journals

Body

I recently spent a lot of time trying to understand where to find and publish the 'best' CE research and as you know, individual metrics are often not indicative of the quality of a journal so I put together a few indicators and came up with this list. Feel free to add more relevant CE journals in the comments!

This image shows the ranking with the respective metrics for each of the five journals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Explanation of the metrics:

  • No. of CE papers: Search for "circular economy" performed in each journal on 12 July 2022
  • Impact factor (IF): Annual mean no. of citations of articles published in the last 2 years
  • VHB ranking: Qualitative ranking of scientific journals from A+ (highest) to D (lowest) by the German Association for Business Research (direct link: https://vhbonline.org/vhb4you/vhb-jourqual/vhb-jourqual-3/gesamtliste)
