Use when understanding how Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS) review and decisions work — the Springer Editorial Manager flow, the double-anonymized developmental review, the area-editor structure, the dual theory-and-managerial evaluation bar, and how to read a decision letter. Explains the process and reads the letter; it does not draft the response (jams-rebuttal).

# Review Process (jams-review-process)

## When to trigger

- Before submitting, to set realistic expectations about JAMS review
- A decision letter arrived and you need to interpret it before responding
- You are unsure who decides at JAMS and what reviewers are told to weigh
- You want to know what conditional acceptance triggers (data/code deposit)

## How JAMS review works

- **Double-anonymized.** Authors and reviewers are concealed from each other; keep every round anonymized, including revised files and any preregistration links.
- **Developmental philosophy.** JAMS, like the AMS journals, runs a **developmental review** — area editors and reviewers aim to improve promising papers across rounds, not merely gatekeep. A well-run R&R is the realistic best case; first-round acceptance is essentially unheard of.
- **Decision structure.** Manuscripts are handled by an **Area / Associate Editor** under the Co-Editors-in-Chief (Stephanie M. Noble and Charles H. Noble, University of Tennessee, since June 2024 — verified 2026-06-22; re-verify the masthead before submission). Your keyword/area choices in Editorial Manager influence routing, so choose them to reach the right editor and reviewers.
