Content of Published Articles
JPP&M publishes articles on (1) current public policy subjects and (2) enduring conceptual or empirical studies that have public policy implications.
First, because JPP&M publishes articles on current public policy issues, manuscripts that address topical problems are strongly encouraged. The focus of articles should be thoughtful and insightful analyses of public issues that affect the profession of marketing. Articles should be scholarly, practical, and well documented, and they should meet generally accepted standards for conceptual and analytical rigor appropriate for a premier professional journal. Recent issues addressed in the journal have included consumer privacy, product warnings, deregulation, the role of the FTC and the state in regulating marketing and advertising, health care, pricing, international trade, and vulnerable populations.
Second, JPP&M encourages the submission of manuscripts that advance theory development or research methods in the field. For example, manuscripts that focus on understanding consumers' processing of warning messages, developing methods for clustering products into relevant markets for antitrust analysis, or providing ethical foundations of appropriate marketing activity are suitable for publication.
Stimulating Interest in Marketing and Public Policy Research
JPP&M endeavors to inform its readers about ongoing public policy debates. Therefore, the journal encourages the submission of thoughtful statements on current controversies as a means of influencing the direction of further research.
JPP&M also encourages young scholars to submit manuscripts on marketing and public policy topics. The journal will continue to play a significant role in helping emerging scholars develop their research programs.

1. What do we publish?
Before submitting your manuscript to the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing, please ensure that you have read the aims & scope.
- Research Article
- Special Issue Article
- Policy Note
Policy notes are shorter empirical papers that present exceptionally novel and important substantive findings with direct implications for a timely public policy topic. Policy Notes will feature papers with exceptionally strong length-to-contribution ratios. Standards for rigor will be the same as those for other article categories; the key difference is that Policy Notes should be findings-forward with direct and highly relevant implications for public policy. Submissions should be 4,000 words (maximum at all stages of review) not including title, abstract, keywords, footnotes, references, tables, figures, and appendices.
There is no limit to the number of references allowed.
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing is a forum for understanding the nexus of marketing and public policy, with each issue featuring a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, ecology, ethics and social responsibility, nutrition and health, regulation and deregulation, security, and privacy.
For information about author anonymity, readability and language, copy editing and proofreading, and inclusive language, see the AMA Submission Guidelines page.
In addition, the Sage Author Gateway has some general advice and on how to get published, plus links to further resources. Sage Author Services also offers authors a variety of ways to improve and enhance their article including English language editing, plagiarism detection, and video abstract and infographic preparation.
1.3.1 Make your article discoverable
For information and guidance on how to make your article more discoverable, visit the Sage Author Gateway page on How to Help Readers Find Your Article Online.
1.3.2 English language editing services
Authors seeking assistance with English language editing, translation, or figure and manuscript formatting to fit the journal’s specifications should consider using Sage Language Services. Visit Sage Language Services on the Journal Author Gateway for further information.
2. Editorial policies
Reviewers should be experts in their fields and should be able to provide an objective assessment of the manuscript. Our policy is that reviewers should not be assigned to a paper if:
- The reviewer is based at the same institution as any of the co-authors.
- The reviewer is based at the funding body of the paper.
- The reviewer has provided a personal (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail) email account and an institutional email account cannot be found after performing a basic Google search (name, department, and institution).
At submission, the journal currently allows authors to recommend or oppose reviewers. Note, however, that the Editor in Chief views these as a guideline and may follow or disregard this information at their discretion. No more than one recommended reviewer is permitted to serve on a review team.
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing is committed to delivering high-quality, fast peer review for your paper, and as such has partnered with Web of Science. Web of Science is a third-party service that seeks to track, verify, and give credit for peer review. Reviewers for the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing can opt in to Web of Science in order to claim their reviews or have them automatically verified and added to their reviewer profile. Reviewers claiming credit for their review will be associated with the relevant journal, but the article name, reviewer’s decision, and the content of their review is not published on the site. For more information, visit the Web of Science website.
Editors or members of the Editorial Board may occasionally submit their own manuscripts for possible publication in the journal. In these cases, the peer review process will be managed by alternative members of the Board, and the submitting Editor/Board member will have no involvement in the decision-making process.
All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.
Please note that AI chatbots, for example ChatGPT, should not be listed as authors. For more information see the policy on Use of ChatGPT and generative AI tools.
2.2.1 Author Misconduct Policy and Procedures
See the AMA Editorial Policies & Procedures page.
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgments section on the title page. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.
Acknowledgments should be included on the title page that is uploaded separately from the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.
Per ICMJE recommendations, it is best practice to obtain consent from non-author contributors who you are acknowledging in your paper.
2.3.1 Third party submissions
Where an individual who is not listed as an author submits a manuscript on behalf of the author(s), a statement must be included in the Acknowledgments section on the title page and in the accompanying cover letter. The statements must:
- Disclose this type of editorial assistance - including the individual’s name, company, and level of input
- Identify any entities that paid for this assistance
- Confirm that the listed authors have authorized the submission of their manuscript via third party and approved any statements or declarations (e.g., conflicting interests, funding)
Where appropriate, Sage reserves the right to deny consideration to manuscripts submitted by a third party rather than by the authors themselves.
2.3.2 Writing assistance
Individuals who provided writing assistance (e.g., from a specialist communications company) do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgments section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance—including the individual’s name, company, and level of input—and identify the entity that paid for this assistance. It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading on the title page. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the Sage Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state, “This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.”
2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing encourages authors to include a declaration of any conflicting interests and recommends that you review the good practice guidelines on the Sage Journal Author Gateway.
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing is committed to facilitating openness, transparency, and reproducibility of research, and has the following research data sharing policy. For more information, including FAQs, please visit the Sage Research Data policy pages.
Subject to appropriate ethical and legal considerations, authors are encouraged to:
- Share your research data in a relevant public data repository
- Include a data availability statement linking to your data. If it is not possible to share your data, use the statement to confirm why it cannot be shared.
- Cite this data in your research
Peer reviewers may be asked to peer review the research data prior to publication.
- Peer reviewers may be asked to assess compliance with the research data policy
- Peer reviewers may be asked to assess research data files
If you need to anonymize your research data for peer review, please refer to our Research Data Sharing FAQs for guidance.
2.6.1 Falsification of Data/Misreporting of Data
See the AMA Editorial Policies & Procedures page.
2.6.2 Replication Studies
Authors of direct replication studies seeking to replicate findings from an article published in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing who are unable to confirm the results or conclusions should contact Roland Rust, AMA Vice President of Publications, at rrust@umd.edu.
See the AMA Decision Appeal Policy page.
If an author believes the decision regarding their manuscript was affected by a publication ethics breach, the author may contact the publisher with a detailed written description of their concern, and information supporting the concern, at publication_ethics@sagepub.com.
3. Publishing policies
Sage is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record. We encourage authors to refer to the Committee on Publication Ethics’ International Standards for Authors and view the Publication Ethics page on the Sage Author Gateway.
3.1.1 Plagiarism
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing and Sage take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism, or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles are checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article, for example, is found to have plagiarized other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgment, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to, publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction), retracting the article, taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies, or taking appropriate legal action.
3.1.2 Prior publication
If material has been previously published, it is not generally acceptable for publication in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing. However, there are certain circumstances where previously published material can be considered for publication; for example, the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing will consider submissions of papers that have been posted on preprint servers or presented at conferences. Please refer to the AMA Editorial Policies & Procedures, the guidance on the Sage Author Gateway, or, if in doubt, contact the editorial office (jppm@ama.org).
3.2 Contributor’s publishing agreement
Before publication, Sage requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. Sage's Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement is an exclusive license agreement, which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants Sage the sole and exclusive right and license to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than Sage. In this case, copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For more information, please visit the Sage Author Gateway.
3.3 Open access and author archiving
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing offers optional open access publishing via the Sage Choice programme and Open Access agreements, where authors can publish open access either discounted or free of charge depending on the agreement with Sage. Find out if your institution is participating by visiting Open Access Agreements at Sage. For more information on Open Access publishing options at Sage please visit Sage Open Access. For information on funding body compliance, and depositing your article in repositories, please visit Sage’s Author Archiving and Re-Use Guidelines and Publishing Policies.
4. Preparing your manuscript for submission
For templates and information about formatting, manuscript organization, manuscript components, web appendices, and references, see the AMA Submission Guidelines page.
5. Submitting your manuscript
The Journal of Public Policy & Marketing is hosted on Sage Track, a web-based online submission and peer review system powered by ScholarOne™ Manuscripts. Visit https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ama_jppm to log in and submit your article online.
IMPORTANT: Please check whether you already have an account in the system before trying to create a new one. If you have reviewed or authored for the journal in the past, it is likely that you have an account. For further guidance on submitting your manuscript online, please visit ScholarOne Online Help.
As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent, and fair peer review process, Sage is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.
We encourage all authors and co-authors to link their ORCIDs to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when prompted, sign into your ORCID account, and our systems are automatically updated. We collect ORCID IDs during the manuscript submission process, and your ORCID ID then becomes part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID ID is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.
If you do not already have an ORCID ID, please follow this link to create one or visit Sage's ORCID homepage to learn more.
5.2 Information required for completing your submission
You will be asked to provide contact details and academic affiliations for all co-authors via the submission system and identify who is to be the corresponding author. These details must match what appears on your manuscript. The affiliation listed in the manuscript should be the institution where the research was conducted. If an author has moved to a new institution since completing the research, the new affiliation can be included in a manuscript note at the end of the paper. At this stage, please ensure that you have included all the required statements and declarations and uploaded any additional supplementary files (including reporting guidelines where relevant).
Please also ensure that you have obtained any necessary permission from copyright holders for reproducing any illustrations, tables, figures, or lengthy quotations previously published elsewhere. For further information, including guidance on fair dealing for criticism and review, please see the Copyright and Permissions page on the Sage Author Gateway.
6. On acceptance and publication
Within two days of acceptance, your article will be published on the journal’s Accepted Manuscripts page. Accepted or “express” manuscripts are unchanged from the final version of the manuscript submitted in Sage Track. This version of the article will remain posted until the article is edited, typeset, and moved to the Online First page.
When your article enters production, it will be copy edited by a member of the AMA’s editorial staff. You may contact the editorial office (jppm@ama.org) regarding questions about your article’s progress throughout the production process. Proofs will be made available to the corresponding author via the Sage editing portal or by email, and corrections should be made directly or notified to us promptly. Authors are reminded to check their proofs carefully to confirm that all author information, including names, affiliations, sequence, and contact details are correct, and that Funding and Conflict of Interest statements, if any, are accurate.
Online First allows final articles (completed and approved articles awaiting assignment to a future issue) to be published online prior to their inclusion in a journal issue, which significantly reduces the lead time between submission and publication. Visit the Sage Journals help page for more details, including how to cite Online First articles.
6.4 Access to your published article
Sageprovides authors with online access to their final article.
Publication is not the end of the process! You can help disseminate your paper and ensure that it is as widely read and cited as possible. The Sage Author Gateway has numerous resources to help you promote your work. Visit the Promote Your Article page on the Gateway for tips and advice.
