Ranking of Academic Journals in Industrial Engineering

This study was carried out to evaluate the journals chosen by academicians working in industrial engineering and operations research fields to publish their scientific publications. In the study, in which a total of 133 journals were evaluated, the publication times of the journals and their publication quality were considered under various criteria. The primary purpose of this article is to provide a ranking for all covered academic journals in the relevant field. While similar studies evaluate publications according to a single criterion, this study provides a ranking by considering multiple main criteria and their sub-criteria. It is also suggested to consider some new factors that were not considered before but are valuable to the authors, such as the acceptance rate of the journals, review and publication times, citation score, and quartile information. The data of this study were obtained from reliable, open-source institutional sources such as the web pages of journals, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results indicate that considering different criteria directly affects the ranking of journals. Also, sharing different metrics such as acceptance rate and review time by journals affects the rank of journals. This study will help academics, students, and all academic scientists understand how journals perform according to the determined criteria and choose journals when submitting their publications.
