To put your question in a broader context, I retrieved some metrics from my study published last year in Scientometrics.
Fassin, Y. 2021. Does the Financial Times FT50 journal list select the best management and economics journals? Scientometrics, 126 (7): 5911-5943.
For 150 leading management and economics journals including the FT50 journals, we retrieved and compared a set of indicators: consisting of the number of articles (n) and the total citations of the journals (TC), the average number of citations per year (AVC), the journal impact factor JIF, the SJR factor, the h-index and the h'10-index defined over the last 10 years (2010–2019). Data were retrieved through complementary searches in the Web of Science (n, total citations and average citations, h-index, h'10-index), in Incites (JIF, JIF 5 and AIS) and in the SJR Scimago Journal and Country Rank (SJR).
Following tables show the data for the 6 entrepreneurship/family business and small business journals, and their ranking in the 150 list..

On an overall average rating, JBV stands in 23rd position, ETP in 31st position and SEJ 116th.
However, some indicators privilege older journals. The Web of Science selects ETP articles from 2003, and SEJ from its start in 2006/7, while JBV from the 1990s. Taking the recent h-index (based on the years 2010-2019), ETP ranks first in entrepreneurship and JBV second.
On the basis of both merit their place in FT50 and other lists.

Subject: Is JBV considered a premier journal at your University?
Hello all,
We are reviewing our premier journal list and are curious if the Journal of Business Venturing (JBV) is considered a premier journal at your school (in line with OS, SMJ, AMJ, etc.)?
Thank you in advance for your replies and thoughts!
