The Journals of Human Resources wins Emerald Management Reviews Citations of Excellence Awards for 2011

Citation of Excellence Award

The Journal of Human Resources article, “Teachers and the gender gaps in student achievement” by Thomas S. Dee
(The Journal of Human Resources, Summer 2007, vol. XLII no. 3, p. 528-554, doi: 10.3368/jhr.XLII.3.528, http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/XLII/3/528.abstract) has won one of the prestigious Emerald Management Reviews Citations of Excellence Awards for 2011. It has been chosen as one of the top 50 articles with proven impact since its publication date (2007 in this case, to allow for citation impact to be accurately measured) from the top 300 management journals in the world.

 

Emerald Management Reviews is an abstracting and indexing database that covers every article in the top 300 business, management and economics journals worldwide including titles such as Harvard Business Review, Journal of Finance, Journal of Marketing, Strategic Management Journal, MIT Sloan Management Review, Long Range Planning, Academy of Management Journal, and MIS Quarterly. 15,000 article abstracts are added to the database annually and so receiving a Citation of Excellence is an extraordinary achievement.

Former managing editor, Barbara Dennis.
