The Society of Consumer Psychology is seeking nominations and applications for the Journal of Consumer Psychology Editor-in-Chief (EIC) position starting January 1, 2027.
The Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) publishes top-quality research articles that contribute both theoretically and empirically to our understanding of the psychology of consumer behavior. JCP is the official journal of the Society for Consumer Psychology (SCP). Information about the JCP including its scope, author guidelines, and current Editorial team, can be found at
.
The EIC will serve a three-year term beginning January 1, 2027. The EIC responsibilities include appointing a team of co-editors and choosing associate editors. They will also be responsible for appointing an editorial review board, selecting manuscript reviewers, writing decision letters, and accepting articles for publication. The editorial term ends on December 31, 2029, but the editorial team will traditionally continue to process manuscripts in process until March 31, 2030.
For the next editorship, the Publications Committee envisions a model of an EIC who together with their coeditors has complete editorial authority of papers submitted to the journal. However, the Publications Committee is open to other alternative organizational structures for the position that can be proposed at the time of appointment as EIC.
We encourage you to nominate potential candidates, including self-nominations. Please include a candidate’s current CV as well as a brief statement indicating why this candidate is a good choice for EIC of JCP.  Candidates should have an outstanding record of scholarship in the discipline of consumer psychology and a history of active involvement in scholarly publications. The editorship is a volunteer position, but SCP provides an annual budget to support the editorial team in their stewardship of JCP.
Please submit these documents to Rebecca Reczek, Past-President of the Society of Consumer Psychology and Chair of the Publications Committee at (cc reczek.3@osu.edu) by December 31, 2025 with subject header “Nomination: EIC JCP.â€
Your participation makes the process more inclusive.
