Expressions of Interest – Editor, Australasian Marketing Journal

Posted on by

The Australian and New Zealand Marketing Academy (ANZMAC) is calling for  expressions of interest (EOI) from highly esteemed scholars in marketing to become the new editor of  the Academy’s journal – the Australasian Marketing Journal. The editor will normally serve a term of 3 or 5 years.

The Journal is published by the highly respected publisher Elsevier and included as searchable full text in Elsevier’s ScienceDirect system.  It appears in four issues per year. ANZMAC members receive a hard copy as part of their membership. A Best Paper is awarded each year and announced at the annual ANZMAC conference in December.

The Academy is seeking EOI from individuals or groups located at one of the Australian or New Zealand universities or a consortia of establishments.

EOIs should address vision for the journal, strategies to enhance the quality of submissions and the impact of the journal, and planned relationship with the publisher as well as any other matters considered important. The EOI should be accompanied by curriculum vitae for each person who is nominating as an individual editor or as part of an editorial group. Please specify in your submission whether a 3 or 5 year term is proposed.

EOIs close Friday, 23 November and should be submitted to the chair of the search committee, Prof Gillian Sullivan-Mort, <>. The search committee will aim to interview applicants at the forthcoming ANZMAC conference in Adelaide.

The Editor or Editorial team would take up a transitional role in the middle of 2013 and work closely with the current editor Professor Lester Johnson to ensure a smooth transition towards the end of 2013.

A stipend of $10,000 is available for the Editor or on a shared basis.

Call for Applications – Editor – International Journal of Bank Marketing

Posted on by

The International journal of Bank Marketing presents the latest research, practice and thinking on issues of current and future concern for financial services marketers.

The focus of the journal is on the adoption and implementation marketing management, business and consumer behaviour in the personal, corporate and international sectors of financial services.

The journal is now in its 30th year and is currently available in well over 2,000 universities around the world. Readership of the journal is extensive, registering over 200,000 article downloads in 2011.  

This is also leading to strong citation activity – the H index for the journal available via Scopus stands at 17. This shows a good level of citation activity and compares very well with titles which are both more general and more highly rated in terms of ABS ranking etc.

The journal is included in Scopus and numerous journal rankings including ABS (UK) and ABDC (Australia). It uses the Scholar 1 online submission system.

The current Editor, Professor Jillian Farquhar will be stepping down from her role at the end of the 2012 Volume.  This comes after a number of years of sterling effort in building up the journal. We would therefore welcome expressions of interest from those wishing to take on this role.

For further information or to apply please contact Richard Whitfield, the journal’s publisher, at

The closing date for applications is 31st May 2012.

Any application should include a current CV and a covering letter explaining the reason you are interested in the role, any relevant experience – for example guest editing special issues, and how you would like to see the journal develop.

Full details about the journal are available on the journal homepage at www.emeraldinsight.com/ijbm.htm

Oppportunity – Editorial role for Qualitative Market Research: an International Journal

Posted on by

Qualitative Market Research: an International Journal furthers the frontiers of knowledge and understanding of qualitative market research and its applications, exploring many contemporary issues and developments in marketing.

The journal covers all areas of qualitative market research and recent special issues have focused on topics such as:

  • Observational techniques
  • Projective techniques
  • AV representation in market research
  • The relationship between theory and practice.

The journal is now in its 15th year and, after many successful years as Editor, Professor Len Tiu Wright has decided to step down from her role. We are therefore seeking applications from those interested in taking on the Editorship.

Professor Wright founded the journal and, under her stewardship, it has become an excellent resource and outlet for research in the growing field of qualitative marketing research.

The journal is listed in most major rankings such as ABS in the UK, ABDC and ERA in Australia along with numerous European rankings. It is also covered by the increasingly influential Scopus service.

Readership of the journal is huge. There were over 130,000 downloads from the journal in 2011. Advantages for the new Editor include the journal being a member of Emerald’s increasingly influential collection of journals and books. QMR is promoted at a range of international events each year and the Editor will liaise with an experienced team at Emerald to ensure the journal develops as effectively as possible.

The journal has an online submission system using the Scholar One service and has four issues per year.

Full details of the journal can be found at www.emeraldinsight.com/qmr.htm

For further information or to apply please contact Richard Whitfield, the journal’s publisher, at

The closing date for applications is March 30th.

Any application should include a current CV and a covering letter explaining the reason you are interested in the role, what relevant experience you have – for example in terms of guest editing special issues, and how you would like to see the journal develop were you to be chosen as the next Editor.
