JPP&M seeks manuscripts from a variety of disciplines that represent diverse perspectives. Therefore, submission of manuscripts from individuals with disparate backgrounds is encouraged.

The journal's only requirements are that manuscripts must be well documented, well reasoned, balanced, and relevant.

Content of Published Articles
JPP&M publishes articles on (1) current public policy subjects and (2) enduring conceptual or empirical studies that have public policy implications.

First, because JPP&M publishes articles on current public policy issues, manuscripts that address topical problems are strongly encouraged. The focus of articles should be thoughtful and insightful analyses of public issues that affect the profession of marketing. Articles should be scholarly, practical, and well documented, and they should meet generally accepted standards for conceptual and analytical rigor appropriate for a premier professional journal. Recent issues addressed in the journal have included consumer privacy, product warnings, deregulation, the role of the FTC and the state in regulating marketing and advertising, health care, pricing, international trade, and vulnerable populations.

Second, JPP&M encourages the submission of manuscripts that advance theory development or research methods in the field. For example, manuscripts that focus on understanding consumers' processing of warning messages, developing methods for clustering products into relevant markets for antitrust analysis, or providing ethical foundations of appropriate marketing activity are suitable for publication.

Stimulating Interest in Marketing and Public Policy Research
JPP&M endeavors to inform its readers about ongoing public policy debates. Therefore, the journal encourages the submission of thoughtful statements on current controversies as a means of influencing the direction of further research.

JPP&M also encourages young scholars to submit manuscripts on marketing and public policy topics. The journal will continue to play a significant role in helping emerging scholars develop their research programs.
