Aims and scope

Journal of Academic and Professional Marketing is an international refereed journal publishes quarterly online open access by KMF that develops and disseminates knowledge about real-world marketing questions useful to scholars, educators, managers, policy makers, consumers, and other societal stakeholders around the world. It is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed journal for marketing academics and practitioners. The journal aims to provide an avenue for high-quality research in various aspects of marketing management and strategy, such as marketing research, market segmentation, positioning, pricing, relationship marketing, business marketing, social marketing, internet marketing, advertising, branding, customer service, customer behavior analysis. The intellectual remit of the journal includes contributions that further our knowledge of marketing management, as well as research that takes marketing management and the managerial agenda of marketing thought as an object of intellectual scrutiny in its own right. By its nature, this means that the Journal of Academic and Professional Marketing is the preeminent outlet in marketing and consumer research that welcomes contributions from across the paradigmatic and methodological spectrum. The journal explicitly desires to see all paradigmatic traditions contribute to debates on marketing theory and practice. This includes traditional, predominantly managerial contributions aligned with logical empiricist perspectives, through to interpretive and Consumer Culture Theoretic reflections on marketing’s role in providing the resources for identity building and self-affirmation, as well as the negative ramifications of consumption on individuals and communities.
