Call for Nominations: Editor in Chief

Abstract

Journal of Consumer Research (JCR) January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026 The current JCR editorial team—Bernd Schmitt, June Cotte, Markus Giesler, Andrew Stephen, and Stacy Wood—will end their term on December 31, 2023. In preparation for the transition to the next editorship, the JCR Policy Board is making a call for nominations. The JCR editor in chief will assemble a team of co-editors who will be responsible for appointing associate editors and the editorial review board, selecting manuscript reviewers, writing decision letters, and accepting articles for publication. The next editorial term will begin on January 1, 2024, and end on December 31, 2026. For the next editorship, the Policy Board envisions a “default” model of an editor in chief who serves with a small number of co-editors, each of whom has complete editorial authority for a subset of papers submitted to the journal. The Journal of Consumer Research is one of the most prestigious publications in the field of social science research today. The editor in chief serves as an important intellectual leader for a vibrant multidisciplinary field of scholarship, significantly affecting the range of topics discussed in the domain of consumer research.
