Based on the classical theory of nucleation and growth, we propose a dimensionless criterion,
β, expressed by
T
x
T
g/(
T
l
−
T
x)
2, with
T
g, the glass transition temperature,
T
x, the onset of crystallization temperature and
T
l, the liquidus temperature for evaluating the glass-forming ability (GFA) of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). A survey of the readily available experimental data associated with the thermal analysis of various BMGs show that the new criterion,
β, is statistically better than other currently used criteria, such as
γ (=
T
x/(
T
l
+
T
g)) and
T
rg (=
T
g/
T
l), and also better than newly proposed criteria, such as
δ (=
T
x/(
T
l
−
T
g)) and
φ (=
T
rg((
T
x
−
T
g)/
T
g)
0.143) in reflecting the GFA. It is also demonstrated that the
β criterion can be used as a guideline for exploring new bulk metallic glass formers in a wide range of BMGs.
