ANNOUNCE System Dynamics Review Ranked 'A'

hi all,

""Last year the journal Production and Operations Management began to publish 1
page profiles of the most important people in the history of operations
management. The current issue honors Jay Forrester (Production and Operations
Management 17(4): i-ii)."" [ANNOUNCE Production and Operations Management Honors
Jay (SD7232) - posted by John Sterman on 25 Sep 2008]

Nice to see Prof Jay Forrester honoured in this way by the Journal Production
and
Operations Management.

It is also interesting to see that the Australian Business Deans Council -
Journal Ratings List for Business and Management rank 'System Dynamics Review'
as an 'Operations Management' journal with an 'A' ranking. (Tier Descriptors are
listed below)

Also 'Systems Research & Behavioral Science' another Wiley Intescience related
journal, has received an 'A' rating in the Social Sciences category (under the
'Interdisciplinary' list).

Further details can be found on:
http://www.abdc.edu.au/3.37.0.0.1.0.htm

Great work to all at Wiley Interscience, contributors to the journals, referees,
editors & support people of both journals.

Personally I think both journals should be ranked 'A*' as the leading systems
journals in the world!
we can get there yet!

all the best,
Bob

Tier Descriptors to the Australian Business Deans Council - Journal Ratings
List:

A* - Best or leading journal in its field - publishes outstanding,original and
rigorous research that will shape the field. Acceptance rates are typically low
and the editorial board is dominated by leading scholars in the field or
subfield, including from top institutions in the world. Where relevant to the
field or subfield, the journal has the highest impact factors or other indices
of
high reputation.

A - Highly regarded journal in the field or subfield - publishes excellent
research in terms of originality, significance and rigour, has competitive
submission and acceptance rates, excellent refereeing process and where relevant
to the field or subfield, has higher than average impact factors. Not all highly
regarded journals have high impact factors, especially those in niche areas.

B - Well regarded journal in the field or subfield - publishes research of a
good
standard in terms of originality, significance and rigour and papers are fully
refereed according to good standards and practices but acceptance rates are
higher than for Tiers A* and A. Depending on the field or sub-field, will have a
modest impact factor and will be ISI listed.

C - A recognised journal - publishes research that is of a modest standard
and/or
is yet to establish its reputation because of its newness. This tier is more
inclusive than the others but only includes refereed journals.
