Dear Colleagues
The
editorial and publishing teams of Review of International Business and
Strategy are very pleased to inform you that the journal has been
accepted in the Thomson Reuters Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
The
Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) was launched late 2015 as a new database
within Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science™ Core Collection, in order to complement
the existing Web of Science databases (the Science Citation Index Expanded, the
Social Science Citation Index, and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index).
Review
of International Business and Strategy has been accepted
in the ESCI for its high quality peer reviewed content related to international
business and global strategy. As well as providing a mark of quality for the
journal, inclusion in the ESCI will allow papers published in the journal to be
searchable, discoverable and citable via the Web of Science. Through visibility
in the Web of Science, authors will likely increase their H-index and influence
in their fields.
