How to Submit An Article
By submitting a manuscript, you certify NO PART of it
(including figures, abstracts, tables) is copyrighted or under review
elsewhere.
Reviewers must be able to read your manuscript. Word processing
files (particularly equations) may appear differently on different computers.
The following instructions solve this problem. Follow these five steps:
1. Send your manuscript and a copy of the submission
form by e-mail to mktgsci@cba.ufl.edu.
Remember to include the Marketing Science submission
form with the manuscript. For information on
formats, click
here. You should receive an acknowledgment within 3 business days of
receipt of your manuscript.
2. Before submitting a manuscript, carefully check the manuscript for
errors and check that the manuscript prints as intended. Be sure to include
your submission form with the manuscript. Always embed all fonts. Use TrueType
or Type 1 fonts.
Note: See our note for TeX
and LaTex users. Click
for Tex stylesheets.
3. Identify authors and affiliations on only the
first page and no other page of the manuscript. Submit
the entire article as a single file and without links to other files. Embed
artwork when possible. [Scan artwork or other pages that you cannot embed and
send as separate files.]
4. When sending a manuscript, you have two options.
Option 1.
Send your manuscript as an unprotected Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document
Format) file. Note that Adobe
Reader cannot produce PDF files. In order to produce a PDF file, you
must either use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe’s on-line service. It is best to create the
PDF File on the same computer you used to create the original document. Send
the submission
form in any common electronic format (e.g., DOC, TXT, PDF). Processing
begins immediately. Click
here for more.
Option 2.
Send your manuscript as a DOC (Microsoft Word Document) file, a PS (Post
Script Image) file or a TeX DVI (DeVice Independent) file. We will
convert the file to PDF format. Check Word files for corruption, AVOID BITMAP
FONTS and embed all fonts. We will ask you to review and
approve the PDF file before processing the manuscript.
5. Please e-mail submissions to: mktgsci@cba.ufl.edu

WE WILL NOT PROCESS A
MANUSCRIPT UNTIL WE OBTAIN ELECTRONIC COPIES OF BOTH THE
MANUSCRIPT AND THE SUBMISSION FORM.
A PDF version of your manuscript file is sent to reviewers.
NOTE: Our e-mail program automatically blocks viruses. Be sure to scan for
viruses. Also, make sure you get an acknowledgement that we received your
manuscript.
Authors should correspond with the Editor-in-chief who is responsible for the
processing of manuscripts. We use a double-blind review process. Area
editors, reviewers and authors are anonymous. Anonymous evaluators provide an
important advisory role but decisions reside with individuals known to
authors. Anonymity encourages more participation and objectivity.
We require that at least one of the authors of each accepted manuscript sign
a copyright transfer form.
Remember, we must have full copyright permission (figures,
abstracts, tables, etc.) to process (copy, distribute, etc.) a manuscript.
Note: At the time of
publication, we require a paper copy of the manuscript as well as an original
word-processing file for the production folks. TeX and LaTeX files can be
acceptable but must comply with the journal guidelines. Although PDF and PS
submissions are useful for reviews, they are unusable during the final
publication phase. We will send the authors complete details.

INFORMS Policy:
|
Note: By submitting a manuscript,
the author certifies that NO PART of the manuscript is copyrighted
(including the abstract, figures, etc.) and the manuscript is not currently
under review for any journal,
conference proceedings or
other outlet. If the manuscript (or any part of it) has appeared, or will
appear in another publication
of any kind, all details must be provided to the editor-in-chief at the time of submission. As a condition of final acceptance of a paper for
publication in Marketing Science, the author(s) must indicate
if their paper is posted on a working paper website, other than their
own. They are responsible for
assuring that, if any part of the paper has been copyrighted for
prepublication as a working
paper, the copyright can and
will be transferred to INFORMS when the paper has been accepted. This includes both print and
electronic forms of the paper.
On acceptance, the text, or any link to full text, must be removed
from working paper websites, other than the author's own website.

a condition of final acceptance of a paper for publication in an INFORMS
journal, the author must indicate if the paper is posted on a website other
than the author's personal website. The author is responsible for ensuring
that, if any part of the paper has been copyrighted for prepublication, for
example, as a working paper, the copyright can and will be transferred to
INFORMS when the paper has been accepted. This includes both print and
electronic forms of the paper. Authors may post their papers on websites
after acceptance and prior to publication, as long as the sites are not
copyrighted or do not serve as formal repositories. Authors may not post
their page proofs on websites prior to publication. Contact permissions@informs.org
