Just compiled this list as a response for a threat. Given the investment, decided to start a separate thread. Here is a typical top 20-50 list of journals for tenure:
A journals (need 3-4 to tenure) JF,JFE,RFS (+top 5 econ and top 3 accounting)
A or A- (depends on school) JFQA, Management Science
A- journals (OK fillers, 2-3 of those can substitute for 1 A, but no more than 1)
Journal of Financial Markets
Journal of Corporate Finance
Journal of Financial Intermediation
Financial Management
Review of Finance
Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking
B + (better B journals, look OK on CV but do not help much with tenure)
Journal of Portfolio Management
Journal of Banking and Finance
Journal of Financial Research
Journal of Futures Markets
Journal of Fixed Income
Mathematical Finance
Journal of Empirical Finance
Journal of Derivatives
Financial Analysts Journal
Other B journals -- at this point better off not publishing unless tenured or aiming outside top 50
Hope that helps. This list is based on two schools' internal tenure lists.
