How Do We Evaluate JCR Papers?
To be transparent and fair to authors, it is important that consistent manuscript guidelines be established and practiced by the review team.
The following guidelines provide a short description of each type of paper and the evaluation criteria:
- Conceptual papers
- Theory-driven empirical papers
- Substantive phenomena papers
- Consumer culture research papers
- (Multi-)methods and empirical quant papers
- Registered reports
- Brief commentaries
We hope these guidelines will make for a more transparent and constructive review process.
