Call for Editor-in-Chief

Journal of Business-to-Business Marketing
Deadline: 28th March 2022

ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍøt the Role

Business-to-Business Marketing are seeking applications for an Editor-in-Chief or a team of Co-Editors-in-Chief with a strong academic background and publishing experience as well as the enthusiasm and vision to drive the journal forward.

The successful candidate or team will be responsible for editorial oversight and initial decision-making on submissions to the journal, and will have the authority to accept articles following successful peer-review. They will uphold the highest standards of scholarship for the journal and will ensure that reviewers and authors adhere to the Journal’s Code of Publishing Ethics.

Taylor & Francis will support you in all aspects of the role. We provide training and support for you on all editorial processes and systems, including the journal’s online editorial office system, ScholarOne, which manages the peer-review process.

We will provide you with regular journal performance data to inform your decision-making and offer guidance on strategic journal development, publishing ethics, and developments within the publishing landscape. Taylor & Francis will provide remuneration for the role to cover any journal-related expenses.

Becoming the editor of a journal is a rewarding and fulfilling experience where you will build your own networks, promote the research that you are passionate about, and be recognized as a leading figure within the academic community. It is a significant role with a high profile, but one that we believe is compatible with an existing academic timetable.

Interested in applying?

Here are the skills and attributes we are looking for in a successful applicant:

• Active in the scholarly community with extensive professional networks
• Confident in engaging with authors and researchers to solicit the highest quality submissions
• Strong organizational skills to ensure that submissions are handled in a timely manner
• The ability to foster positive working relationships with authors, reviewers, and the in-house publishing team at Taylor & Francis.

We would prefer that the successful candidate assume the role of Editor-in-Chief from 2 May, 2022, but for the right candidate, we would be open to a start date of 31 May 2022. The successful candidate will begin training and transition planning in Spring 2022.

Submitting your Application

Please forward your CV, a covering letter and a vision statement to JBBM’s Portfolio Manager, Laura Raines

Your vision statement should be no longer than two pages and should cover:

• Where you believe the field is headed and JBBM’s place in it
• What the challenges and opportunities for JBBM are, and why you are the right candidate to realize the journal’s potential
• How you would attract high-quality authors and research
• How you would promote the journal to the wider scholarly community
