* Please note that JOBE is not a research journal, but an education journal, which publishes case studies and teaching materials, along with some education research. For this reason it does not have a high research "impact factor" or "citation index". It is a teaching tool... a textbook journal. The teaching materials are available for ordering as individual articles (case studies/exercises/lecture articles) via the JOBE website, and other distribution channels (Case Centre clearing house, aggregated content databases). Its true "impact" is therefore measurable primarily by the number of article downloads and article orders.
