Abstract: Summary In light of shrinking budgets and growing international competition, universities are required to become transparent with respect to their teaching and research performance. In terms of research evaluation, the assessment of journal articles plays a vital role. However, existing journal rankings suffer from weaknesses that limit their usability for German-speaking universities. The main aim of this article is to introduce VHB-JOURQUAL, a valid, comprehensive ranking of academic journals in the field of business administration which is apt to be used in evaluation across different universities. After highlighting extant ranking approaches, the concept of VHB-JOURQUAL and its empirical application are discussed. 651 members of the Association of University Professors of Management and post-doctoral researchers assessed the quality of both articles and review processes of business administration journals that they are familiar with. Key results are reported and implications for university management are discussed.
