Abstract: The objective is to explore the geographical affiliation of author(s), ad hoc reviewer(s), editorial board(s) and editor(s) of selected journals in marketing. The sample used in our study was restricted to papers published in six research-oriented journals in general marketing, which were selected to represent the ‘top’ publications in this field. The ‘geographical affiliations’ of authors, ad hoc reviewers, editorial boards and editors, reveals a predominance of the North American affiliations in all the selected ‘top’ research journals of general marketing. The ‘geographical affiliations’ of author(s), ad hoc reviewer(s), editorial board(s) and editor(s) is a subject so far unexplored across top marketing journals. It is however an important issue that needs to be raised in literature, due to the influences that they may have on the journal and its content, and the characteristics of published papers. The study provides insights into the ‘top’ research journals in general marketing. We intend to complement the current knowledge and insights in literature by studying four components of the ‘geographical affiliations’ of ‘top’ journals in general marketing.
