ABDC Journal Quality Explorer

Search, filter and compare the ABDC Journal Quality List across six editions, with journal-level rating histories and a focused 2022 → 2025 change explorer.

FT50 badges use the April 2026 Financial Times list across all ABDC editions. They show membership in that list, not historical FT membership.

Tip: click any journal row for its cross-edition rating history. Matching uses ISSN/online ISSN first, then a normalized journal title fallback.

FT50 badges reflect the April 2026 list, independent of the ABDC rating changes shown here.

“New” and “Removed” mean no counterpart was matched between the two editions using ISSNs or normalized titles; they should be interpreted as list-entry changes, not necessarily journal launches/closures.

About

What this is: A free, searchable version of the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List. You can look up any journal’s ABDC rating (A*, A, B or C) by title, ISSN, publisher or Field of Research (FoR) code; filter by rating, inception year and FT50 membership; export results as CSV; see each journal’s rating history across the 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 editions; and browse which journals were upgraded, downgraded, added or removed between the 2022 and 2025 lists.

Made by AI. “Vibecoded” by Carl Michael Galang.

Motivation: I got tired of looking at an Excel file.

FT50 membership: Labels and filters use the Financial Times list revised in April 2026, cross-checked against SMU Libraries’ journal and ISSN list on 10 September 2026. The same list applies to every ABDC edition; historical FT membership is not tracked. Journals are matched by print or online ISSN, with an exact normalized title fallback. CSV exports include ft50 (Yes/No) and ft50_list_version (2026-04).
