For more information, please refer to the Sage Manuscript Submission Guidelines.
Review Procedures: Manuscripts are reviewed independently by members of the Journal of Advertising Education Editorial Review Board and by ad hoc reviewers chosen by the editor. Typically, three reviewers assess each manuscript; two assess each AdEd Insight. The reviews are double anonymize – neither authors nor reviewers knows the identity of the others. The evaluations and recommendations of the reviewers guide the editor. It is possible for a manuscript to be desk rejected by the editor. The most common reason for a desk rejection is that the topic does not apply to education, per se, and/or the topic is not specifically applied to advertising education.
It is the policy of the Journal of Advertising Education that manuscripts submitted for review must not have been published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Note that copyright law prohibits a manuscript from appearing in more than one copyrighted publication. Allowing an article to be published in the Journal of Advertising Education is a guarantee that it has not been nor will be published in any other copyrighted publication. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to use any material (including advertisements) in their manuscripts that is copyrighted.
Individuals and all establishments providing photo duplication services may photocopy articles in the Journal of Advertising Education without permission – either for personal use or for use or distribution to students for classroom use.
