| Olivier Toubia’s term as Editor-in-Chief of Marketing Science comes to an end on December 31, 2024. INFORMS, the journal and the marketing field are grateful for his leadership and dedication over the past three years. Concurrently, the term of all the individuals on the current editorial board (SE/AE/ERB member) will also come to an end on December 31, 2024 – we thank them for their service as well.
Puneet Manchanda (University of Michigan) will take over as Editor-in-Chief on January 1, 2025
().
The new team of Senior Editors will consist of Tat Chan (Washington University), Vrinda Kadiyali (Cornell University), Jiwoong Shin (Yale University), Catherine Tucker (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Hema Yoganarasimhan (University of Washington).
To ensure continuity in the review process over the transition period, Olivier and Puneet have agreed to the following process in terms of assigning Senior Editors:
1. All papers submitted on or after November 1, 2024 will be assigned to a Senior Editor from the new team.
2. Revisions submitted until June 30, 2025 (where the original paper was submitted before November 1, 2024) will be assigned to the Senior Editor from the current team who previously processed the paper. After June 30, 2025, papers in advanced stages may be processed by the same Senior Editor when feasible, but there is no guarantee. As per the usual process, the assigned Senior Editor will decide on the composition of the review team for all papers.
Finally, as per INFORMS Publications policy, all editorial roles at INFORMS journals are term-limited to two terms. In addition, the policy also states that Editors-in-Chief replace 50% of the current editorial team at the beginning of their terms. These policy guidelines will play a significant part in the determination of the editorial roles under the new Editor-in-Chief. |
