The Journal of Performance Measurement

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Journal (on the topic of investment) does not cite reliable, third-party sources discussing its notability, and does not WG:GNG. Current sources are its own journal articles. I was unable to find any sources supporting the journal's notability. I have access to the ISI Journal Citation Reports, and it has not been ranked there for an impact factor. Does not seem to meet the criteria of WP:NJOURNAL. (I acknowledge this not policy, but I think it is the best criteria available aside from general criteria).

Delete. Indeed, the journal does not appear to be indexed anywhere, in particular, it does not have an impact factor. WorldCat search only gives 3 or 4 academic libraries in the world that carry the journal.[1]. GoogleScholar gives only about 5-6 papers[2] from the journal, in its 14-year history, with any significant citability. In all, does not appear to pass Wikipedia:Notability (academic journals) (which, although not an official guideline, still provides the most useful guidance in this case).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
