There have been a bunch of good ABM publications in the Management literature as well:

Management Science
Journal of Consumer Research
Journal of Marketing
Marketing Science
International Journal of Research in Marketing (which includes a nice article on the uses of ABM in Marketing in 2011 by Rand and Rust if I might modestly suggest)

Take care,
Bill

Dear All,

What are the highest status/best known/most cited journals which have
published ABM/social simulation in your particular social science? (And
what are the citations?) In Sociology the highest impact journals give,
for the set of search terms <agent based model simulation> the following
numbers of "hits" (excluding book reviews, editorials and "front/back
matter"):

American Journal of Sociology   17 (most in one special issue)
American Sociological Review    11
British Journal of Sociology    3
Annual Review of Sociology      23
Global Networks – A Journal of Transnational Affairs    4
Sociology of Health & Illness    3
Journal of Marriage and the Family 1
Economy and Society     49
Social Networks 37
Social Problems 3

However, scanning these quickly, I suspect that many (most?) are false
positives as it is quite hard to pick a set of search terms that
uniquely identify what we do. (Could we find an unusual word and always
use it in our papers to help with this!) Looking more carefully at some
of the cases with fewer hits, two of the three BJS articles are false
positives (the other written by yours truly*), the only example in
Journal of Marriage and the Family is a FP and so on. (I would have done
more of this but the library computer seems to be acting up.)

I wonder if one thing we could do to promote our research is simply to
try and get something into journals that haven't had it before ... Would
anyone else like to share this kind of analysis for economics,
management, psychology, criminology, demography? (Who else is there
reading?)

Happy Xmas!

Edmund
