The Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management publishes high-quality research that advances the theory and practice of purchasing, procurement, sourcing, supply management, and related areas of supply chain management. The journal welcomes rigorous empirical, theoretical, and methodological contributions that deepen understanding of buyer-supplier relationships, strategic sourcing, supplier management, sustainable and responsible procurement, digitalization, resilience, risk management, innovation, and other emerging topics of relevance to both scholars and practitioners. The journal is currently ranked 3 in the ABS Academic Journal Guide, “A” in the ABCD Journal list, and Q1 in Web of Science.

The Co-Editor-in-Chief’s primary responsibilities will include:

  *   advancing the journal's mission and strategy;
