Impact Factor Dynamic Forecasting Model for Management Science Journals Based on Grey System Theory

Abstract

A forecast method of the impact factor trend was given based on grey system theory. Using this method, combined with the top 20 management science journals, the grey system GM (1, 1) model was constructed. The model evaluates and predicts the average impact factor trend of the top 20 management science journals.
