Why join the Academy of Marketing Science?
The Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) is the premier professional association for marketing academics. Members of the Academy — we call them fellows — have access to the following benefits:
Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS)
With over 500 institutional subscribers in over 30 countries, JAMS is one of the field’s most impactful publications. The publication was recently named to the Financial Times’ list of the world's top 50 business journals in 2023, achieving an outstanding rank of second out of 154 publications and boasting an impressive impact factor of 18.5.
Members of AMS receive a print subscription to JAMS. In addition, free online access to JAMS is available through the website.
Academy of Marketing Science Review (AMS Review)
AMS Review focuses on conceptual marketing scholarship and is increasingly regarded as a leading marketing journal. The publication is now in the ABS, the UK-based ratings/groupings. Understanding that theory is the fuel for research, AMS Review publishes thoughtful commentaries that offer insights and perspectives extending knowledge and understanding of marketing-related phenomena.
Members of AMS receive a print subscription to AMS Review. In addition, free online access to AMS Review is available through the website.
AMS Annual Conference and World Marketing Congress
Members of AMS are invited to attend the AMS Annual Conference, World Marketing Congress and other AMS events. These professional networking events and conferences are known for a unique, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They are designed to offer interactive opportunities for sharing research and teaching ideas.
At both events—especially the World Marketing Congress, which is held outside the United States each year—attendees have the opportunity to interact with academics on an international level.
Grants, awards and scholarships
Members of AMS have access to grants, research paper awards and scholarships through special funding by corporate sponsors such as Mary Kay, Inc. and Cutco/Vector, endowed funds and from our founder’s organization, the Harold and Muriel Berkman Foundation.
