Introduction
A benchmark report from the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science's incoming editorial team
To summarize the journal?s recent growth and performance, along with its strong standing in the field of Marketing, the incoming editorial team for the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS) recently developed a benchmark report comparing JAMS with the 45 journals presently included in the Financial Times (FT) journal list.
We hope this information will be useful to our marketing colleagues and to departmental P&T committees in evaluating JAMS? status; the full report can be downloaded from the JAMS site at .
Some examples of the objective indicators collected in the report that demonstrate JAMS? strong performance compared to other premier journals include evidence that JAMS is:
- 22nd of all 45 FT journals and 3rd of Marketing journals on the 5-year impact factor;
- 5th of 45 FT journals and similar to other premier Marketing journal based on lowest acceptance rates;
- Equal to or better than 82% of all FT journals based on five (Germany, UK, France, Australia, and New Zealand) international ranking studies;
Incoming Editor-in-Chief Rob Palmatier will begin processing new submissions on June 1; for further information on the new JAMS team or this benchmark report please contact jamsed@uw.edu.
