# Navigating JIM Review (jim-review-process)

## When to trigger

- The paper was just submitted and the team wants to know what happens next
- Months have passed with no word and someone wants to nudge the editor
- The group is estimating revision timelines for planning (tenure clocks, dissertations)
- Pre-submission, to engineer around JIM's known desk-reject triggers

## The pipeline

1. **Administrative screen.** ScholarOne staff/editorial check: file split (title page vs. anonymized main document), 50-page cap, 200-word abstract, formatting. Failures bounce back without review — annoying but recoverable.
2. **Editor screen.** The Editor-in-Chief (Ayşegül Özsomer since 2024 — verify the masthead) reads for scope and bar. A meaningful share of submissions end here; see the desk-reject list below.
3. **AE and reviewers.** Surviving papers go to an associate/area editor and typically two to three double-anonymized reviewers drawn from the international marketing community — expect at least one measurement-focused reader on any multi-country survey, and reviewers located in or expert on your sampled regions.
