Special Issue CFP: Journal of Advertising "Reimagining Advertising Research: 50 Years and Beyond"

Manuscripts are currently being solicited for the Journal of Advertising’s 50th Anniversary Special Issue dedicated to Reimagining Advertising Research: 50 Years and Beyond.

This Special Issue is aimed at looking to the future and proposing new theories and/or new aspects of advertising practice that may be fruitful in studying and explaining advertising in the years ahead. Papers should be forward-looking and consider what will likely be important for advertising research and theory in our changing society and advertising practices.

Work is strongly encouraged that makes new (or renewed) connections to the disciplines that are not well represented or not being applied to their maximum potential in the extant advertising research and theory. Of course, all papers should be relevant to the broad global readership of the Journal of Advertising. Here, advertising is defined broadly, as reflected in the recent Journal of Advertising Special Issue on The Future of Advertising (Journal of Advertising, Volume 45 Issue 3). The hope is that the papers in this issue will help spur thinking in new directions that can expand our understanding and conceptualization of advertising knowledge. Thus, papers on all research topics related to all types of advertising are welcome.

Both conceptual and empirical work that presents ground-breaking original ideas and new research directions is welcome.

Submission deadline: December 1, 2021
