Author Guidelines
Style and Submission Guidelines
Please submit article via e-mail. Include name, address, company, title, and e-mail address.
• Feature articles: 3,500 words maximum, four exhibits and/or sidebars maximum. Please include a 60-word summary of the article.
• Columns: 1,600 words maximum, no exhibits and/or sidebars
• Departments: 2,500 words maximum, two exhibits and/or sidebars max
• Software Review: 2,500 words maximum, three exhibits maximum
• Book Reviews:1,000 words maximum
• Bios: At the end of the article the author biography should consist of name, position, affiliation, and an e-mail address where the author can be reached for more information.
• Exhibits: Limit of four exhibits or sidebars. Please send exhibits separately in a TIFF, EPS, or JPEG file with 300-dpi resolution. Exhibits should not be used to validate methodology used to conduct a study, but rather to illustrate the findings (e.g., percentage of respondents who prefer Pepsi to Coke). If detailed data would enhance comprehension of the topic, please direct the reader to other publications or Web sites rather than reproducing the information in an exhibit. Exhibits might be cut, depending on space availability and usefulness to the reader.
• References: Marketing Research is a magazine, not a journal, so references should be kept to a minimum. An "Additional Reading" list containing no more than six references may follow an article if necessary. If detailed attributions are necessary, please incorporate them into the text.
PLEASE NOTE:
-The articles should be specifically written for MR in the required format (i.e., we will not review for suitability articles written by PR professionals; neither will we review a general article already written for a conference or as a white paper and offer opinion on suitability).
-Contributors MUST send two hard copies in addition to an electronic copy (e-mail or disc). Otherwise they risk being filtered out by a firewall or accidentally eliminated.
-The electronic file should be titled with distinct identity (such as the name of the article or the author's name). General titles like "MR article", "Final draft for MR", "marketing research" makes it extremely difficult to locate a file.
General Information
All authors must sign the copyright release form that will be sent out when a paper is accepted for publication.

Articles are edited by the AMA’s staff of professional editors, who generally rewrite all titles, subtitles, and subheads to conform to the magazine’s style. We will not accept responsibility in case of loss.
Each author will receive a complimentary copy of the issue in which his/her article appears, and reprints and PDFs will be available for purchase.
