Jindal Global Business School (JGBS) of OP Jindal Global University (JGU) achieved a milestone by producing 162 SCOPUS-indexed research publications and joining the ranks of the top IIMs in business research. Extensively used by ranking and accreditation institutions, SCOPUS is the largest database of peer-reviewed literature in the world, managed by the prestigious Elsevier Publishing House. In the rapidly evolving business landscape, this remarkable research output by JGBS continues to contribute to the cutting-edge management knowledge, as part of JGBS’s vision of being a “globally acclaimed business school developing transformative ideas and people.”

According to the school’s press release an analysis of the SCOPUS database managed by Elsevier publishing house reveals that, for the year 2021, JGBS, with its 162 SOCUPS publications, surpassed all IIMs in India, except for IIM Ahmedabad (with 189 publications) and IIM-Lucknow (with 178 publications). Interestingly, JGBS was way ahead of many venerated and relatively much older public and private management institutes in India, including IIM Bangalore (101 publications), IIM Calcutta (98 publications), Indian School of Business (ISB, 109 publications), Management Development Institute (148 publications) and XLRI (85 publications).

Professor (Dr.) C Raj Kumar, Founding Vice-Chancellor, OP Jindal Global University, stated, “This is an extraordinary feat by the faculty members of the Jindal Global Business School. Publishing 162 SCOPUS indexed papers, with around three-fourths indexed in the ABDC list, is an outstanding achievement for a young business school that is only 12 years old. I feel this is an important day in the Indian business education sector where the overall Indian management knowledge ecosystem stands to benefit greatly from this achievement. I have always believed that high quality has a direct correlation to teaching and this will immensely benefit the students of JGBS. I congratulate the Dean, Vice Dean (Research), and all faculty members of JGBS for their committed, continuing, and commendable efforts”.

Professor (Dr.) Mayank Dhaundiyal, Dean of JGBS, stated, “JGBS has gradually established itself as one of the country’s top business schools. JGBS’s outstanding research performance exemplifies JGU’s culture of world-class research, academic freedom, and integrity. I am extremely proud of my faculty colleagues who conduct topical and impactful research, providing novel and robust insights and solutions to a variety of social, economic, and organisational challenges. As part of a world-ranked university and an institution of eminence (IoE), JGBS is committed to continuing to push the boundaries of management knowledge through cutting-edge research.”
