Current Editors
Who are we as a team? We have individual expertise in multiple research methodologies and a shared conceptual interest in many topics—consumer experience, choice, information processing, communications, innovation, community-building, and culture, to name a few. Most importantly, we believe in the important insights that come from JCR research and are passionate about increasing the use of these findings in the world.
We hope to help authors share insights post-publication through an increased digital presence and will strive to provide agency, consistency, and timeliness for all authors in the review process. We love the JCR community and want to warmly welcome consumer researchers from many disciplines.
As JCR nears its 50th year, we will be excited to celebrate the foresight of the founders in creating a journal of multiple perspectives united to understand consumption as integral to the human experience and critical to human well-being—exploring what it means to choose and to choose wisely in any enterprise. Ultimately, we believe in JCR‘s future as a growing, vibrant, diverse, and multi-disciplinary platform of insights that are translated to the world.
