The interdisciplinary journal focuses on publishing scholarly articles from a variety of fields including international business, management, marketing and other disciplines such as anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology.
Over the years, CCSM has built a reputation as an outstanding source of research in its field, which is reflected in a variety of citation and peer review measures of quality. For instance, according to the bibliographic database Scopus, CCSM has a CiteScore™ of 3.80, meaning the journal's publications between 2017 and 2020 received an average of 3.80 citations in 2020 alone. Based on CiteScore™, which calculates citations annually, the journal is ranked 7th out of 1,002 journals in cultural studies in Scopus. In addition, CCSM has a source normalized impact per paper (SNIP) of 0.918, meaning that the average citations received by CCSM publications in 2020 are 0.918 times the average citations received by other journals in its category. According to Clarivate Analytics, CCSM has an impact factor of 2.203, which means that publications in the journal between 2018 and 2019 have averaged 2.203 citations from journals indexed by Clarivate in 2020 alone. The five-year impact factor of the journal for publications between 2015 and 2019 stands at 2.787 citations as calculated in 2020.
