Slide #13
An Update on SSCI
• APJM used to be in SSCI
• Two criteria: Timely publication and citations
• Forced out in the 1990s due to irregular
publishing
• Now doing much better on regular publishing
– Mailing issue in 2005
– Typesetter delay for the 2006/3 and 2006/4 issues
• Under A. Delios, we (re)applied in April 2006
• Still being evaluated
• What we need to do collectively: Cite APJM
– Only citations of APJM pubs in the last 2 yrs count

Slide #14
Making APJM Better
• All APJM editors, authors, reviewers, readers
(who cite our publications): Thank you so much!
• Given that Asia is generating a huge volume of
research output (JIBS will run a sp issue on
“Asia and global business”), it is imperative that
we have a top tier journal that is in Asia, on Asia,
and of Asia
• With all your help, as a community of like
minded scholars, we can make it happen—and
we will!
