Notice to Authors and Readers Regarding Journal of Marketing Management Imitation

We have become aware of a publication operated by the Brooklyn Research and Publishing Institute (BRPI) using the journal title Journal of Marketing Management and maintaining a journal website [jmm.thebrpi.org] under this title.

We wish to clarify that this publication is not affiliated, associated, endorsed, sponsored, or connected in any way with our publication, Journal of Marketing Management (Print ISSN: 0267-257X Online ISSN: 1472-1376), published by Taylor & Francis.

We are concerned that this may create confusion amongst authors, reviewers, readers, and other stakeholders within the scholarly community. Authors and contributors are therefore encouraged to carefully verify journal websites, publisher information, ISSNs, editorial contacts, and submission portals prior to submitting manuscripts, reviewer reports, or any personal information, in accordance with the T&F Think, Check, Submit policy:

We recommend that authors that wish to submit to Journal of Marketing Management (JMM, ISSN 0267-257X) should pay attention to the following details:

  • Read the Aims and Scope, as this is where the Editor sets out their expectations
  • If you are planning to submit to a Special Issue, read the Call for Papers carefully.
  • Look at the Editorial Board – are there academics listed that you know of, or that are active in your particular topic area?
  • Look at some of our open access articles to see the kind of content that has made it through the review process.
  • Read the Instructions to Authors carefully – submissions which do not follow the Instructions for Authors will be returned to Authors for amendment before they are passed to the Editor for review
  • All submissions, including those for Special Issues, must be submitted through the Taylor & Francis Submission Portal

JMM does not seek manuscript submissions by unsolicited bulk email and does not accept email submission of manuscripts.

There are a number of other important aspects that characterise the review and publication process for Journal of Marketing Management published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group:

  • All papers, including those for Special Issues, go through a rigorous double blind review process. Authors can monitor the progress of their submissions through the T&F Submission Portal. All papers are initially desk reviewed by the journal Editor. Around 81% of standard (non-SI) submissions are rejected at this stage. Those that make it past this stage are assigned to an Associate Editor, expert in the relevant subfield, who will review the paper again and, if they consider it suitable, will then assign the paper to 3 referees for double blind review. Papers generally go through multiple rounds of revision and review. For all standard (non-SI) submissions since 1 January 2021 which have received a final decision in the review process (to 31 Dec 2025), the acceptance rate is 5%.
  • If a paper is accepted, it will be passed into the Taylor & Francis Central Article Tracking System (CATS). When papers go into CATS one of the automated communications authors receive is about their publication options. At this point, authors may choose ‘Open Select’ via payment of an Article Processing Charge. However, at no point are authors required to make a payment in order for their paper to be published, this is just an option which is offered for those who wish, or who are mandated to by funder requirements, to make their paper Gold Open Access.
  • Once the paper enters CATS it is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This provides a permanent link to the article version of record, and is the basis of article cross linking and altmetric measurement. The JMM prefix always starts with the identifier 10.1080, followed by the journal’s print ISSN 0267257X, the year of acceptance, and then a final numeric string unique to that article, e.g.
    10.1080/0267257X.2015.1123759
    This DOI forms part of the link to the article:
    http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0267257X.2015.1123759
  • Once the article has gone through the editing and proofing process, it is published online at the Taylor and Francis website as a ‘Latest Article’.

It will then be assigned to an issue for print publication.

If you have any questions about submitting your paper to JMM, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office
