management, orgs and sociology journal impact factors 2010

Love or hate ’em (and, see the discussion about article effects trumping journal effects), here is a selective smattering of 2010 management, orgs and sociology journal impact factors (2010 reported first, then sorted by 5-year impact factor).

By posting these I’m probably just adding legitimacy to a measure that I just don’t think matters a whole lot – but oh well.

ISI also reports a bundle of other stats: article influence scores, eigenfactor score etc.  Obviously, lots of journals missing from the above – but you can easily look up and compare stats yourself at ISI Web of Knowledge (though, you’ll have to have an institutional subscription).
