ICAR/NACRE 2010 and the European Journal of Marketing (EJM)

We are happy to announce that the ICAR/NACRE 2010 submission process is combined with EJM's official call for Anti-consumption and Consumer Resistance papers, where approximately 12 research notes/short papers will be published in 2011.

To submit to ICAR/NACRE 2010 and the EJM's Special section, please follow EJM formatting guidelines (viewable at http://www.emeraldinsight.com/ejm.htm). Manuscripts must not exceed 4500 words in length (including references). Manuscripts should be submitted by January 29th 2010

All manuscripts will undergo a double blind peer review process involving several guest Editors and a specialist review panel. We hope to notify authors of the first round outcome in April 2010. Authors successful in the first round will be invited to present their work at the ICAR/NACRE Symposium, where they will receive additional feedback for revising and re-submitting their manuscript to the EJM special section second round. Manuscripts should ONLY be submitted in electronic format to Manuscript Central http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ejm.
