In this article, the authors introduce two citation‐based approaches to facilitate a multidimensional evaluation of 39 selected management journals. The first is a refined application of P age R ank via the differentiation of citation types. The second is a form of mathematical manipulation to identify the roles that the selected management journals play. Their findings reveal that A cademy of M anagement J ournal , A cademy of M anagement R eview, and A dministrative S cience Q uarterly are the top three management journals, respectively. They also discovered that these three journals play the role of a knowledge hub in the domain. Finally, when compared with J ournal C itation R eports ( T homson R euters, P hiladelphia, PA ), their results closely match expert opinions.
