I've attached a document that is now 5 years old, but I'm hopeful it will help you think through how to create a list that works for your department. This one was created by the relevant faculty members in the business school at the University of Alabama, where
I worked for many years. </div>

In my mind, the specific journals are less important than the criteria you choose for ranking the list into tiers and your explanation of this to outsiders. Whatever you create will be fundamentally different from what your colleagues in business disciplines
have. They are part of large, well-established fields with mostly agreed upon rankings for their publication outlets--all of which are journals. They cannot comprehend how irrelevant impact factors are for us. That's partly why the document we created at Bama
included a discussion of impact factor use for the JCR category labeled "communication."</div>

A final note: our list worked for us with AACSB and with P&T committees. We were categorized as qualified researchers for accreditation purposes and won tenure and promotions from our colleagues.</div>

<span style="color:#1F497D">I work in a College of Business, and as part of our AACSB accreditation, our departments maintain journal ranking lists. We have a small group of Business Communication instructors from several fields (composition & rhetoric, technical
writing/editing, communication studies), and we’re starting to discuss developing our own journal list.

<span style="color:#1F497D">I’d love to hear your suggestions about journals that we should investigate for possible inclusion, and any initial thoughts you have about how you would locate them in a ranking system.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">

<span style="color:#1F497D">The journal ranking system we use is A+, A, and B. Typically, the other departments in our college have used impact factors, acceptance rates, editorial board membership, and several other metrics as parts of their justifications
for their listings. Some of these factors seem less relevant to me within business communication, so I’m quite eager to hear other ideas.
