International Journal of Market Research

Founded in 1958, the aim of the International Journal of Market Research (IJMR) is to be the leading source of information about best practice and new thinking in research, insight and data analysis worldwide. IJMR is an applied journal that provides a bridge between academia and practice, giving a platform to disseminate the latest thinking in research practice and policy to a global audience of educators, practitioners, and decision-makers. IJMR is SSCI-ranked, rated as an ‘A’ quality journal by the ABDC, and as an ‘Internationally Recognised’ (2*) journal by the Chartered Association of Business Schools. Readers are looking for ways to optimise and leverage research, insight and data, and trust the integrity of the IJMR to provide them with leading-edge and authoritative thinking that can be practically applied in a business and societal context. The IJMR is first and foremost an applied journal that publishes the best from academia and practitioners and whilst the primary audience is the professional researcher at all levels and all spheres, the IJMR also seeks to encourage a dialogue between practitioners, academics and those in the business or public sectors who rely on research, insight and data to make effective decisions, deliver impact and drive change. The editorial team is interested in papers that are evidence based, clearly written and unambiguous; that are original and contain new and practical ideas. The style should demonstrate authority and expertise but be accessible to the wider audience. In particular, every paper must engage and stimulate readers, be relevant to their needs and ensure that the practical applications of the ideas and concepts within the papers are readily apparent.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
