The journal features analysis of individual, business, and government decisions and actions that affect consumers’ interests in the marketplace. Contributions from the social and behavioral sciences, consumer sciences, education, communication, social work, business, law, public administration and public policy are welcomed. Research articles, practical applications, and commentary all have a place in the journal. Research on issues of topical relevance to consumers may be of empirical or conceptual design. Trends and Applications articles highlight emerging trends and/or applications with implications for consumer well-being; they often provide specific recommendations for policy, research, and/or practice. The Commentary section is devoted to articles that contribute new thought about key issues in consumer well-being, rights, education, research, policy, trends, or regulation. Articles appearing in all sections of the journal are subject to double-blind peer review.
