Regular Submissions

The following are guidelines for the processing of manuscripts at Marketing Science:

• ALL new manuscripts are submitted electronically via Manuscript Central (an online submission and review system). Submissions are no longer accepted by paper or e-mail. To access the Marketing Science Manuscript Central site go to
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mksc.

• The first time you log on to the Marketing Science Manuscript Central site you are prompted to create an account (click on “create account” on the opening page). When creating your account please be sure you take the time to accurately choose keywords for yourself. These keywords are critical for the accurate assignment of manuscripts for your review.

• All submitted manuscripts, and subsequent revisions, are blinded (the Manuscript Central log-in process informs the Editor-in-Chief of the authors and coauthors). Upon submission, you have the opportunity to write a cover letter along with requesting preferred and nonpreferred reviewers and Associate Editors.

• There is a new reviewer form that includes 7-8 rating scale questions, an overall recommendation, and a space for review and comments to the Associate Editor.

• There are extensive instructions found online to support the manuscript submission and review process.

NIH Public Access Policy: The author is responsible for complying with the NIH Public Access Policy.  INFORMS follows Method C of NIH's submission method guidelines and has no obligation to notify an NIH-funded author about the requirement.
