AEs for JAMS
Introduction
The Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science has instituted an area editor structure
New Structure with Area Editors for Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
Over the next year, the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS) will transition from Professor Tomas Hult to Professor Robert Palmatier as editor-in-chief. For the past five years, JAMS has consistently ranked among the top marketing journals; it is currently in the top 10 of all business journals and second among marketing journals based on citation rates (Thompson Reuters 2014 Journal Citation Reports). As a next step in the evolution of JAMS, a set of area editors (AEs) will be instituted.
Introducing an AE structure represents a natural transition in the evolution and success of JAMS, where submissions have grown from about 300 to nearly 600 per year in the last five years; issues have increased from 4 to 6 per year; topics are broad-based and covering all areas of marketing; and the impact factor has grown significantly. In a collaborative effort between editors, the goal is to have the AE structure launched on April 1, 2015 – two months before paper processing start date for the new editor-in-chief – to allow for a seamless transition for authors, AEs, and reviewers.
The area editors will be Mike Brady (Florida State University), Rebecca Hamilton (Georgetown University), Mark Houston (Texas A&M University), Doug Hughes (Michigan State University), John Hulland (University of Georgia), Satish Jayachandran (University of South Carolina), Costas Katsikeas (University of Leeds), Neil Morgan (Indiana University), Linda Price (University of Arizona), Raji Srinivasan (University of Texas at Austin), and Raj Venkatesan (University of Virginia). The area editors bring deep knowledge across a diverse set of marketing areas as well as extensive experience in successfully reviewing for and publishing in the premier journals.
