1. Install Publish or Perish
Download and install the Publish or Perish software on your computer. It will take less than 2 minutes and you do not need administrator rights.
2. Enter your search terms
Click on Journal Impact in the left-hand column and enter the "journal’s name" in the journal title field.
- Use quotes around the name (e.g. "Management International Review").

However, Microsoft Academic does provide far more accurate results than Google Scholar. Hence the refinements on the next pages are only relevant for Google Scholar searches.
3. Execute the search
Click on the button called "lookup" [top right].
