Abstract
TheJournal of Management Studies, founded in 1963, is celebrating its 60thyear. Clark et al. (2014) conducted a bibliometric analysis for its 50thanniversary assessing whether the journal had maintained its leading international ranking and sustained its mission to serve as a broad-based management outlet. In this review, we build on and extend their findings by examining trends in the journal over the past decade (2012–22). We present a broader analysis ofJMSby exploring its unique identity within the management journal ecosystem and examining its scope and breadth in terms of topics, methods, and author demographics to documentJMS's evolution, impact, reach, and accessibility. We develop a new bibliometric framework that employs a mix of qualitative and quantitative analyses (including regression, text, and language analysis) to cover a broad range of considerations for a journal and its stakeholders. In so doing, we contribute to the bibliometric and review research areas by proposing new metrics (related to diversity, equity, and inclusion) and analysis tools to assess the relative position of an academic journal. Employing this framework, we conclude that JMS has retained and enhanced its position as a leading, cutting-edge general management journal.
