About this journal
Aims and scope
Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice is now listed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index
The Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice aims to address and advance a broad gamut of substantive, managerial issues across the field of marketing. As reflected by the journal’s title, the Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice is devoted to advancing the field of marketing in meaningful ways through scholarship that is both rigorous and relevant.
The Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice was the first high quality general marketing journal to require the pairing of academic sensibilities toward research with high potential for application of findings “on Monday morning” by marketing practitioners. The journal provides a unique outlet for publishing managerially relevant articles across a broad range of marketing subjects – an alternative to the fragmentation of the field of marketing into many sub-disciplines each represented by a specialty journal.
With a decidedly international inclusiveness in terms of authors and reviewers, the Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice values and publishes both conceptual (non-empirical) and empirical work. The journal is also unbiased in preference to methodologies employed in empirical papers so long as the methodological approach properly fits the study’s aims and research questions.
Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone an initial editor screening and rigorous peer review by three anonymous expert referees. All research articles peer review is double anonymized.
For Comment and Editorial articles,
these manuscripts will be reviewed by the editor only, however, depending on the subject matter, the editor reserves the right to ask for feedback on the submission from an expert in that area.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
