About the journal
As the globalization of markets continues at a rapid pace, business practitioners and educators alike face the challenge of staying current with the developments. Marketing managers require a source of new information and insights on international business events. International marketing educators require a forum for disseminating their thoughts and research findings.
Journal of International Marketing (JIM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing international marketing practice, research, and theory. Contributions addressing any aspect of international marketing management are published each quarter. The aim of the journal is to present scholarly and managerially relevant articles on international marketing. JIM is aimed at both international marketing/business scholars and practitioners at senior- and mid-level international marketing positions. JIM’s prime objective is to bridge the gap between theory and practice in international marketing.
Each issue of JIM features research-backed analysis of the latest marketing theories, in-depth articles from active practitioners in international marketing, succinct executive summaries of each article, and detailed coverage of market-driven innovations and methods. The journal strives to give special emphasis to mainstream issues in international marketing management and strategy, such as market entry, segmentation, positioning, pricing, channel development, customer service, and globalization. JIM publishes articles about business enterprises engaged in international marketing, such as manufacturers, service firms, intermediaries, trading companies, franchisers, and licensors. Articles in JIM provide holistic views of international marketing phenomena and explore interrelationships between marketing and other business functions.
Journal of International Marketing is indexed and abstracted in ABI/Inform, Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences, Research Alert, and Social SciSearch.

(Do not submit disk copies until directed to do so by the editor. Please refer to the section "Preparing the Final Version and Editing Style Rules" below when preparing the final version for publication.)
- FOR THE REVIEW PROCESS: The manuscript should be saved in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and submitted via e-mail. Send one PDF file that contains all text, references, tables, figures and exhibits. Manuscripts should not exceed fifty (50) pages, inclusive of all text, tables, figures, appendixes, and so on. Do not lock the PDF file because the JIM office will need to remove identifying information such as author's name and affiliation. Authors should keep an exact, extra copy of the manuscript for future reference.
- PDF files allow automatic file compression, file concatenation, and, more important, manuscripts to have an identical appearance when viewed on almost any computer. If you are unable to submit your manuscript electronically as a PDF, you may mail five (5) paper copies of your manuscript--but (regrettably) the processing of your manuscript will take significantly longer.
- All manuscripts must be double-spaced (including references) in 12-point font, with pages numbered consecutively throughout the entire paper. (The title page is page one.) Allow margins of at least one inch on all four sides. Papers should be left justified; do not justify the right-hand margin.
- References to published works must be cited in text according to the author/date system and listed alphabetically as a separate appendix titled "References" at the end of the manuscript (source citations are made in text, not in notes). All citations must be referenced, and all references must be cited in the text. All references will adhere to Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition.
- AFTER THE MANUSCRIPT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED: After the article has gone through the review process and the changes have been made accordingly, the final version of the article must be submitted in an electronic format. The electronic copy must be created using Word (any version) for Windows. It should include all text, tables, figures, endnotes, and references. At this point in the publication process, place the tables and figures in the Word file at the end of the manuscript, after the reference list. In addition, submit all figures separately in the program in which they were originally created (i.e., PDF, Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, PowerPoint, Excel).
What Goes Where
First page: Name of author(s) and title; authors(s) note, including present position, complete address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address (if available). Also include any acknowledgment of financial or technical assistance.
Second page: Title of paper (without author's name) and a brief abstract of no more than 50 words substantively summarizing the article. It should be informative, giving the reader a "taste" of the article.
Next: The text with major headings centered on the page and subheadings flush with the left margin.
Then: Technical appendixes if applicable.
Followed by: Endnotes numbered consecutively on a separate page. JIM does not use footnotes.
Then: References, typed double-spaced in alphabetical order by authors' last names (and including authors' first names, not only their initials).
Last: Tables and figures, numbered consecutively, each on a separate page. If tables appear in an appendix, they should be numbered separately and consecutively, as in Table A1, A2, and so on.
Mathematical Notation
JIM discourages the use of mathematical notations in the body of the article. If essential, these can be included in an endnote or appendix.
Tables
- Tables should consist of at least four columns and four rows; otherwise they should be left as in-text tabulations or their results should be integrated in the text.
- The table number and title should be typed on separate lines, centered.
- Use only horizontal rules.
- Designate units (e.g., %, $) in column headings.
- Align all decimals.
- Refer to tables in text by number. Do not use "above," "below," "preceding," and so on, to refer to tables (e.g., the above table).
- If possible, combine closely related tables.
- Indicate placement in text.
- Make sure the necessary measures of statistical significance are reported with the table.
Figures and Camera-Ready Artwork
- Figures should be prepared professionally on disk and as camera-ready copy. PhotoShop, Illustrator, and PowerPoint formats are preferred.
- Label both vertical and horizontal axes. The ordinate label should be centered above the ordinate axis; the abscissa label should be placed beneath the abscissa.
- Place all calibration tics as well as the values outside of the axis lines.
- The figure number and title should be typed on separate lines, centered.
After a manuscript has been accepted, complex tables and all figures must be included electronically or be camera-ready. If supplied camera-ready, table and figure headings should be typed on a separate page and attached to the appropriate camera-ready art. These titles will be set in our own typeface.
Lettering should be large enough to be read easily with 50% reduction.
Do not submit camera-ready art until your manuscript has been accepted. When the artwork is completed, submit photocopies.
Reference Citations in the Text
Citations in the text should be by the author's last name and year of publication enclosed in parentheses without punctuation: "(Thorelli 1960)." If practical, the citation should stand by a punctuation mark. Otherwise, insert it in a logical sentence break. If you use the author's name in the sentence, there is no need to repeat the name in the citation; just use the year of publication in parentheses, as in "The Howard Harris Program (1966)...."
If a particular page, section, or equation is cited, it should also be placed in the parentheses: "(Thorelli 1960, p. 112)" or "(Thorelli 1960, Table 1)." For multiple authors, use the full citation for up to three authors; for four or more, use the first author's name followed by "et al." (no italics). A series of citations should be listed in alphabetical order and separated by semicolons: (Terpstra 1961; Thorelli 1960; Welch 1981).
Reference List Style
References are to be listed alphabetically, last name first, followed by publication date in parentheses. Use authors' full first name, not just initials. The reference list should be typed double spaced on a separate page. Do not use indents or tabs. Put two hard returns between each reference. Limit the references to only those that have been cited in the body of the article, including notes, tables, and figures.
Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their references. Check them carefully.
Single- and multiple-author reference for books:
Terpstra, Vern and Ravi Sarathy (1991), International Marketing. Chicago: The Dryden Press.
Single- and multiple-author reference for periodicals (include author's name, publication date, article title, complete name of periodical, volume number, month of publication, and page numbers):
Green, Robert T. and A.W. Allaway (1981), "Identification of Export Opportunities: A Shift-Share Approach," Journal of Marketing, 49 (Winter), 83-88.
Single- and multiple-author reference for an article in a book edited by another author(s):
Cavusgil, S. Tamer (1982), "Country of Origin Effects on Product Evaluations: A Sequel to Bilkey and Ness," in Export Management: An International Context, Michael R. Czinkota and George Tesar, eds. New York: Praeger Publishers, 276-86.
If an author appears more than once, please substitute three dashes (in Word: Insert, Symbol, Special Characters OR Ctrl + Alt + Num hyphen) for each author's name. Less preferred is the use of four hyphens:
Bartlett, Christopher A. and Sumantra Ghoshal (1986), "Tap Your Subsidiary for Global Reach," Harvard Business Review, 2 (November-December), 87-97.
---- and ---- (1987a), "Managing Across Borders: New Strategic Requirements," Sloan Management Review, 2 (Summer), 7-17.
If two or more works by the same author have the same publication date, they should be differentiated by letters after the date. The letter also should appear with the citation in the text:
---- and ---- (1987b), "Managing Across Borders: New Organizational Requirements," Sloan Management Review, 2 (Fall), 43-53.
References to unpublished works, such as doctoral dissertations and working papers, should be included in the reference list as follows:
Katcher, Max (1975), "An Analysis of the Effectiveness of the Overseas Trade Fair Program of the U.S. Department of Commerce as an Exporter Promotion," doctoral dissertation, Department of Marketing, The George Washington University.
Papers printed in published proceedings of meetings:
Cavusgil, S. Tamer and John R. Nevin (1981), "State-of-the Art in International Marketing: An Assessment," in Review of Marketing, Ben M. Enis and Kenneth J. Roering, eds. Chicago: American Marketing Association, 195-216.
Technical Appendix
To improve the readability of the manuscript, any mathematical proof or development that is not critical to the exposition of the main part of the text may be placed in a technical appendix.
Readability
JIM manuscripts are judged not only on the depth and scope of the ideas presented and their contributions to the field, but also on their clarity and whether they can be read and understood. JIM readers have varied backgrounds and include many practitioners. Hence, the following guidelines should be followed:
Write in an interesting, readable manner with varied sentence structure.
- Reduce the discussion of methodology to a minimum. JIM readers are most interested in implication for managerial action.
- Avoid using technical terms that few readers are likely to understand. If you use these terms, include definitions. Remember: The journal is designed to be read, not deciphered.
- Keep sentences short so the reader does not get lost before the end of a sentence.
Review Procedure
The procedures guiding the selection of articles for publication in JIM require that no manuscript be accepted until after is has been reviewed by the editor and at least two members of the editorial review board. The decision of the editor to publish the manuscript is influenced considerably by the judgments of these advisors, who are experts in their respective fields. The author's name and credentials are removed prior to forwarding a manuscript to reviewers to maximize objectivity and ensure that a manuscript is judged solely on the basis of its content and contribution to the field.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
All manuscripts are judged on their contributions to the advancement of the science and/or practice of marketing. All articles are expected to follow the rules for scholarly work, namely:
- Use references to previous work when developing your arguments. Do not assume other work on the subject does not exist, giving yourself credit for all the ideas in your manuscript.
- When data collection is discussed, consider the relevance of the sample to the subject matter. Carefully chosen sample groups are preferable to haphazardly chosen subjects who have little knowledge of or relevance to the subject being studied.
- Give as much information as possible about the characteristics of the sample and its representativeness of the population being studied.
- Do not ignore the nonrespondents. They might have different characteristics than the respondents.
- Give consideration to the limitations of your study, model, and/or concepts and discuss them explicitly in your manuscript. Be objective.
- Use appropriate statistical procedures.
- Address the reliability and validity of any empirical findings.
PREPARING THE FINAL VERSION AND EDITING STYLE RULES
After a manuscript is accepted for publication, the final version must be submitted on 3.5-inch disk. The disk copy should contain the entire manuscript, including tables, figures, endnotes, and references. Although authors can prepare the disk copy using any work processing software that is Macintosh or IBM compatible, submission of the disk copy using Microsoft Word 97 for Windows is preferred. Please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing the final version:
- Type everything in upper and lower case letters.
- Footnotes are not accepted. If necessary to improve the readability of the text, a few endnotes may be included. They should appear double spaced on a separate page and be numbered consecutively throughout the text. Do not use footnote feature in your word processing program.
- Begin each new paragraph with a single hard return, not a tab. Also, use only a single space after each period, not a double space. Use the italic attribute rather than the underline attribute.
- Write the name of the software program used on the disk submitted.
