Journal of the Association for Consumer Research is a quarterly journal of thematic explorations from the Association for Consumer Research, published by the University of Chicago Press. The goal of JACR is to broaden the intellectual scope and interdisciplinary influence of the Association for Consumer Research.

Each issue of JACR has a unique, well-defined theme, chosen from the broad substantive, managerial, and methodological topics relevant to understanding consumer behavior; each issue is directed by a different team of editors who, with relevant experience and ability, are best poised to assemble outstanding articles around that theme. The contributors, reviewers, and readers of each issue of JACR come from the ACR membership and from related fields.
