Appendix for Journal of Global Fashion Marketing Appendix A1: Substantive Business Element Test Journal of Global Fashion Marketing (JGFM) (http://jgfm.org/sub/sub01_01.html) is a new journal that is published by the Korean Scholars of Marketing Science. The KSMS, formerly Korean Academy of Marketing Science (http://www.kams.org/1-1e.html), is the organization that provides direct benefits to marketing professionals in both business and education. They have served all levels of marketing practitioners, educators, and students since 1998. KSMS became the biggest marketing organization in Asia. KSMS has also hosted over 30 fashion marketing conferences and published the Journal of Global Fashion Marketing and special issues of world class journals such as Journal of Business Research, Journal of Product Innovation Management, Industrial Marketing Management, Psychology & Marketing, International Journal of Advertising, Clothing and Textiles Research Journal, Journal of Brand Management, Journal of Strategic Marketing, and many others. The journal has substantive business elements and it clearly demonstrate that the journal should be considered in a business domain. For example: (1) JGFM is a quarterly journal that publishes peer-reviewed conceptual and empirical papers and business cases. Thus, the focus of the articles is specifically within the business domain. (2) A large majority of the contributors (authors) to the journal are also from Business Schools (e.g. Ian Phau). (3) The journal is heavily influenced and supported by a number of editors that are within the business discipline (see Appendix A2) (e.g. Arch Woodside). The journal s editorial team demonstrates high levels of integrity, reputation and expertise within the fashion marketing domain. A number of the journal s editorial members have published in top marketing journals such as the Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing Research, Marketing Science, European Journal of Marketing and Journal of Marketing Management just to name a few. Due to these three characteristics of the journal, it has substantial business elements and the committee should consider adding the journal to the ABDC journal ranking list (1505 FoR code).
