About Journal
International Marketing Review is the "International Marketing" Review and not an International "Marketing Review". This means it seeks to publish interesting, well-written and academically robust papers which communicate clearly on international marketing issues. It is not a general marketing journal.
IMR will not compromise on the quality or relevance of the papers it publishes. To this end, IMR jealously guards the rigorous review procedures which have put it in the vanguard of fully refereed journals, by ensuring that all papers undergo double blind peer review by three reviewers.
