International Trade Journal - Cyrus Knowledge Institute annual meeting - 2012 Twenty-Six Years …. • The Journal has matured and found its place among rigorous, selective academic journals in the field • Listed among the top 25 journals in the field by Journal of International Business Studies • Acceptance rate continues to decrease as submissions outpace available space (well below 10%) • Another manifestation of this maturity is that the journal is now being published quarterly on a regular basis, and • Has begun publishing a fifth Special Issue starting in 2011 • Submissions have increased substantially; and we have had to become more selective in what we can publish.

International Trade Journal - Cyrus Knowledge Institute annual meeting - 2012 And counting ….. • As soon as the journal is published, its table of contents is posted on the Academy of International Business list server (AIB-L) as well as through other venues. • Taylor & Francis also publishes links to the contents of the Journal: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/08853908.asp • Will soon be indexed in the Social Science Citation Index.
