A novel approach for assessing academic journals: Application of integer DEA model for management science and operations research field

作者：

Highlights：

• We develop an academic journals evaluation method using integer DEA to conduct journals evaluation in the research field of management science and operations.

• We introduce the common expert-based journal ranking indicators such as the ABS Ranking and UT/DALLAS journal list in business or management field.

• We introduce an input indicator by assessing whether the journal has an excessively high self-citation rate.

• We discuss whether the variable returns to scale (VRS) or constant returns to scale (CRS) model of DEA is used in journal evaluation.

• A case study is provided to demonstrate the aforementioned improvements.
