Quality Management Journal(QMJ) is the first journal to link the efforts of academic researchers and quality management practitioners. QMJ provides a forum for communicating and discussing research findings. New research that scientifically explores the principles of quality management is actively sought for the journal.
Suitable Articles
Quality Management Journal(QMJ) is primarily an empirical research journal. To be appropriate, an article should be grounded in methods and theory. QMJ publishes only original work, not work previously published or under review by another publication. Types of articles suitable for publication in QMJ include the following:
Empirical articles that provide objective evidence concerning actual quality management practice and its effectiveness. These articles should be written in a manner that emphasizes the managerial implications of the research results and the rationale for the study. Articles should demonstrate use of accepted rigorous methods for empirical research.
Research case studies that consider either a single application or a small number of cases. These articles should include a structured approach for comparison of the cases and should lead to a set of propositions. Either quantitative or qualitative comparison is appropriate. For a helpful description of research case studies, see K. M. Eisenhardt’s 1989 article, “Building Theories from Case Study Research,” in Academy of Management Review (Volume 14, No. 4, Pages 532-550).
Management theory articles that present significant new insight and demonstrated practice. These articles should include testable propositions and should offer a foundation for future empirical research.
Review articles that create links to the existing academic literature and aid in the development of an identifiable quality management academic literature. Such articles should represent a synthesis of existing literature and should demonstrate an understanding of quality management theory and practice.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
