n its 30+ year history, the Family Business Review (FBR) has had a series of distinguished editors. As an FFI member, you may be familiar with many of them: Ivan Lansberg, Kelin Gersick, Max Wortman, Joseph Astrachan, Pramodita Sharma, and currently Tyge Payne.

An enormous amount of work goes into publishing a scholarly journal, and we are pleased to highlight this year’s team – with thanks for its efforts that have helped secure FBR’s impact factor of 6.188 and its ranking as 13 out of 147 in the Business Category for Journal Citation Report (Clarivate Analytics 2019). More than 120,000 downloads of FBR articles occurred in 2019!
