In this paper we present, from an academic perspective, the perceived quality ratings of business and technical communication journals. Through a survey of academic experts, we asked respondents to rate the top overall journals, business communication journals, technical communication journals, and the top journals from a technology perspective. In addition, we asked respondents to list the journals that they read most frequently. We analyzed the results by breaking down the rankings into world regions and academic departments. The top-three overall journals for all regions are Journal of Business and Technical Communication, Journal of Business Communication, and IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION. Importantly, differences by world region and academic department type were found in all these rankings. These results can support researchers worldwide by helping them tartlet their publishing efforts to journals that have the best fit with their business and technical communication discipline, world region, and academic home.
