“…In our bibliometric study, we follow the multiple indicator approach advocated by recent publications (Halim & Khan, 2019). Rather than the limited approach of sole productivity or citation count in previous bibliometric studies in business ethics, we make use of more advanced recent methodology in bibliometrics.…”

Higher education institutions are in permanent search for innovation and new themes of research. Also, business schools and management and economics departments, have expanded their research activities to new themes and applications. Business ethics is one of the new themes of studies that has emerged in recent decades which has established itself as an academic discipline in management (Ma, 2009). This expansion has been realised in business schools and in faculties of economics at universities all around the world, gradually, in a few decades (Calabretta et al., 2011;Ma et al., 2012).Business ethics is a horizontal, interdisciplinary field in contrast with the classical division of management education in functional domains. The business ethics field is situated in the 'soft' aspects of management. A few studies have analysed the field's development (de George, 2005;Ferrell & Ferrell, 2009). A number of bibliometric studies have analysed the data on the theme of business ethics mainly concentrating on volume productivity or citation count of scholars and universities (e.g., Calabretta et al., 2011;Chan et al., 2016). Fewer studies have concentrated on the process of dissemination of these new research themes.Departing from some narratives on the evolution of business ethics research in the pioneering years, and from the observation of the management literature on innovation and entrepreneurship that technological innovation generally does not originate from the leading corporations in their sector, we posit the question whether the same principle applies to universities, and whether innovation in science originate from the leading universities or from lowerranked institutions. Applied to the business ethics field, the research question is transposed as: which universities and business schools

Impact factor (Web of Science, Clarivate Analytics) and CiteScore (Scopus, Elsevier) are the two leading metrics for journal evaluation, assessment and ranking. The relationship between the two is now established, using their respective percentile in this paper for 105 journal in the Computer science, theory and methods (CSTM) subject category. The available studies did not consider the quartile comparison of the journal percentiles of the two database (Scopus and Science Citation Index expanded). The mean impact factor and CiteScore are 2.08 and 2.67 respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient between the impact factor and CiteScore is (0.919, p = 0.000) and between their respective journal percentiles is (r = 0.804, p = 0.000). Analysis of variance revealed that the means of the impact factor and CiteScore of the 105 CSTM journals are the same (F = 3.64, P = 0.058) but different (F = 38.94, P = 0.00) for their respective percentiles. The median test contradicts the ANOVA as the medians of impact factor and CiteScore are different at 0.05 level of significance. The median journal percentiles are the same for only 2 journal titles. The median journal percentile (SCIE) is greater than the median journal percentile (Scopus) for 5 journal titles and less than the median journal percentile (Scopus) for 98 journal titles. The same result was obtained when the percentiles were converted to quartiles, but in this case, the median journal quartiles are the same for 37 journal titles. The median journal quartile (SCIE) is greater than the median journal quartile (Scopus) for 67 journal titles and less than the median journal quartile (Scopus) in only one journal title. Only 37 (35 %) journals are in the same quartile of the two metrics. Caution is recommended in journal evaluation as conflicting different results can be obtained using the same metric.

“…Faculty and doctoral students are routinely directed to publish their wares in “high impact” journals. Of course, such advice requires mechanisms for assessing what constitutes “impact” and a journal ranking system to determine which are “high.” Historically, journal rankings were achieved “through a manual process … created by academic leaders.” (Halim and Khan, 2018). Those in-house methods have now been outsourced to corporations producing analytic metrics.…”
