Inaugural Greeting and Annual Report 2022:

Abstract

The 6th Editorial Committee (from April 2023) established the position of “Managing Editor” for the first time. Along with this, we plan to publish an “Annual Report” in the first issue each year. In 2022 (April 2022 to March 2023), the Japan Marketing Journal published 18 special articles, 9 reviews articles, 2 peer-reviewed articles, 6 marketing cases, and 8 book reviews. The total number of publications was 43, excluding forewords and editorial notes. Fifteen peer-reviewed papers were submitted and the acceptance rate was 13.3%. Of note, datasets accompanying articles are now published in a research data repository and the journal is now listed in the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals).
