About this journal
Aims and scope
Journal of Nonprofit & Public Sector Marketing is now listed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index
The Journal of Nonprofit & Public Sector Marketing is a peer reviewed journal devoted to the study of the adaptation of traditional marketing principles for use by nonprofit organizations and government agencies. The journal is broadly interested in the variety of topics included in the domain of nonprofit marketing, including donor and volunteer recruitment and retention, political marketing, social marketing, marketing strategy and planning, Internet marketing for nonprofit organizations, public relations, media planning, and so forth. Contributors of articles typically come from academic backgrounds. However, the articles are written in an accessible style to benefit a scholarly and practitioner readership.

Marketing professionals, scholars, and researchers from such disciplines as leisure services -- parks, recreation, tourism, public relations, higher education administration, and health care -- will discover a wealth of valuable information in JNPSM. An outstanding review board has been assembled which consists of many of the scholars who have been leaders in the initial development of marketing thought in the nonprofit and public sector. The journal presents peer-reviewed primary research and abstracts and indexes of current research published elsewhere.

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.
