AMS Review – Sheth Foundation Doctoral Competition for Conceptual Articles

PARTNER ORGANIZATION: Springer

The AMS Review is positioned to be the premier journal in marketing that focuses exclusively on conceptual contributions across all sub-disciplines of marketing. It publishes articles that advance the development of market and marketing theory.

The AMS Review is receptive to different philosophical perspectives and levels of analysis that range from micro to macro. Especially welcome are manuscripts that integrate research and theory from non-marketing disciplines such as management, sociology, economics, psychology, geography, anthropology, or other social sciences. Examples of suitable manuscripts include those incorporating conceptual and organizing frameworks or models, those extending, comparing, or critically evaluating existing theories, and those suggesting new or innovative theories. Comprehensive and integrative syntheses of research literatures (including quantitative and qualitative meta-analyses) are encouraged, as are paradigm-shifting manuscripts.

Manuscripts that focus on purely descriptive literature reviews, proselytize research methods or techniques, or report empirical research findings will not be considered for publication. The AMS Review does not publish manuscripts focusing on practitioner advice or marketing education.

The AMS Review-Sheth Foundation Annual Doctoral Competition for Conceptual Articles is open to current, or recently completed, doctoral students. The competition encourages doctoral students to identify and publish impactful conceptual ideas; and connects them with leading marketing scholars who provide feedback and mentoring to enhance their conceptual contribution.

The next call for 2024 submissions will be published in October 2023 at AMS Review’s website:
