Purpose The purpose of this study is to update a global ranking of knowledge management and intellectual capital (KM/IC) academic journals. Design/methodology/approach Two different approaches were utilized: a survey of 379 active KM/IC researchers; and the journal citation impact method. Scores produced by the application of these methods were combined to develop the final ranking. Findings Twenty‐five KM/IC‐centric journals were identified and ranked. The top six journals are: Journal of Knowledge Management, Journal of Intellectual Capital, The Learning Organization, Knowledge Management Research instead, the discipline is progressing towards academic maturity and recognition. Practical implications The developed ranking may be used by various stakeholders, including journal editors, publishers, reviewers, researchers, new scholars, students, policymakers, university administrators, librarians and practitioners. It is a useful tool to further promote the KM/IC discipline and develop its unique identity. It is important for all KM/IC journals to become included in Thomson Reuters' Journal Citation Reports . Originality/value This is the most up‐to‐date ranking of KM/IC journals.
