Their four-year term will start January 1, 2025, when they will begin overseeing all new manuscript submissions. The current editor team will continue to process all revised manuscripts until March 31, 2025.
Oleg Urminsky is Professor of Marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Giana M. Eckhardt is Professor of Marketing and Vice Dean of Engagement and Executive Education at King’s Business School, King’s College London.

The editorial team comprises highly recognized and accomplished scholars who offer a broad range of conceptual, methodological, and substantive perspectives, which is critical for our interdisciplinary journal. JCR will be in excellent hands.
For their thoughtfulness and professionalism during the editor selection process, I thank my Policy Board colleagues: professors Neeraj Arora, Eric Greenleaf, Gerald Häubl, Amna Kirmani, Jean-Sébastien Marcoux, Bob Meyer, Michel Pham, Tandy Thomas, Michelle Weinberger, and Bernd Wittenbrink.
In the interest of providing a fair process, Policy Board members with conflicts of interest did not participate in the voting process.

From the Editors-Elect
We are very excited to have this opportunity to serve the JCR community. We are committed to maintaining the high research quality of the work published in JCR and to continue to foster the strong commitment that the JCR community has had, as readers, authors, reviewers and editors, to the journal. We intend to further develop the norms for reviewing at JCR to be insightful, constructive and focused on helping authors efficiently develop the full potential of their work. We also hope to further promote diversity and inclusiveness, both in what constitutes a JCR contribution (in terms of disciplines, research approaches and questions studied) and among the JCR community of scholars. We intend to expand practices and opportunities to foster research integrity, self-correcting science and constructive debate, to ensure the validity of what readers learn from the research published in JCR.
As researchers, our team of editors all have different primary interests and expertise, but we have all found the same intellectual home with all of you in this broad inter-disciplinary field of consumer research. We look forward to the opportunities we will have over the next four years to learn about your research and to help you share what you’ve discovered with the world.
