If you want to be at the cutting edge of research, you may want to check out the list of top 50 journals in the fields of business and economics as compiled by the Financial Times. FT uses this list to assess and rank universities across the globe.

Although the list serves a very specific purpose, it is also valuable in the discovery of core journals in your field of interest. CBS Library subscribes to all 50 journals, which means that as a CBS student or staff you have online access to many decades of top research.

The list is sorted alphabetically and it includes information about the publication window that is covered by the CBS subscription. The link will take you to Libsearch where you will be able to click your way to the journal. In some cases, we subscribe to the same journal through a number of different database providers, and in some cases, access to different publication years is covered by different databases. If you experience any problems navigating, please do not hesitate to reach out library@cbs.dk
