The rankings encompass the publications of 3,723 business economists affiliated with professorships, as well as Fraunhofer and Max Planck Institutes in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The rankings are based on data from the bibliometric web portal Forschungsmonitoring, managed by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at ETH Zurich, with support from the Düsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics. The results are based on publications in almost 860 business journals from 2020 to 2024, which were weighted according to their reputation.
