About this journal
Aims and scope
The International Journal of Advertising (IJA) publishes original contributions on all aspects of marketing communications from the academic, practitioner and public policy perspectives.
It includes: advertising and media, direct marketing, sales promotions, sponsorship, public relations and integrated marketing communications (IMC).
There are three features that distinguish IJA, which collectively provide a unique position for the journal.
1. IJA focuses on issues of concern to practitioners, academics and policy-makers from a conceptual perspective.
2. IJA has an underlying interest in public policy relating to marketing communications, which is regularly addressed in the journal.
3. The make-up of the IJA Editorial Advisory Board provides a comprehensive and genuinely international pool of reviewers. Each submission is assessed by three reviewers in a double-blind process.
Peer Review Statement

All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.

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.
