Advancing worldwide research and practice in marketing, management, hospitality, sustainability, wellness, and international business
Launched in January 2025, Global Empirical Marketing Studies (GEMS) welcomes empirical and practical work across marketing, management, hospitality, sustainability, wellness, and international business. GEMS is diligently working toward Scopus indexing eligibility, adhering to high academic standards and building a robust publication record.
GEMS’ Advisory Board (https://sites.google.com/view/gems-team/advisory-board) unites globally renowned scholars and business leaders graduated from top-tier institutions (e.g., Northwestern University; University of California, Los Angeles; University of California, Berkeley; University of Glasgow) and ranked among the top 0.28%–0.78% globally (ScholarGPS 2025). GEMS shines with a world-class Editorial Board (https://sites.google.com/view/gems-team/editorial-board), led by Editor-in-Chief Associate Professor Dr. Chanthika Pornpitakpan (PhD, University of British Columbia, Canada; top 2% scientist globally per Elsevier/Stanford from 2019 to 2025, and top 0.8% across all fields, ScholarGPS 2026), featuring scholars from premier universities worldwide. This team drives rigorous peer review and strategic vision, while the Global Expert Review Panel (https://sites.google.com/view/gems-team/global-expert-review-panel) and ad hoc experts add diverse expertise to uphold review integrity and impartiality.
Diversity and Global Impact
GEMS demonstrates both scholarly excellence and operational maturity. With members recognized among the world’s top 2% scientists, representation from over 30 nationalities, and affiliations spanning leading institutions across six continents, GEMS embodies the diversity and rigor expected of an international journal. Our commitment to impartial peer review, DEIA principles, and open‑access dissemination positions GEMS as a strong candidate for ABS recognition and Scopus indexing.
Highlights of our team’s global reach—including gender diversity, global education, worldwide affiliations, and role diversity—are documented in detail on our homepage.
GEMS employs a dual-review system—single-anonymized by the Editorial Board and double-anonymized by Global Expert Review Panel or ad hoc experts. Adhering to Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines, GEMS ensures transparency and integrity. When submitting a manuscript to GEMS, authors must download this Cover Page and Declaration Form, complete it, and insert it as the manuscript’s cover page. These declaration statements constitute standard professional conduct, and submissions that do not comply will be returned to authors for correction before they can be processed further.
