Doctoral Colloquium
The EAA is happy to announce that Professor Shintaro Okazaki (currently President of EAA and Editor of Journal of Advertising) will be one of the speakers at this year's doctoral colloquium. He will share his view of current issues in advertising research as his experiences as editor with the participants. Here is a brief interview with regards to his participation.
Shintaro, what are the most important issues for contemporary advertising research?
Three issues, among others, may come to our attention:
The first issue is related to the definition of advertising. Over the decades, important differences may have arisen in the meaning of "advertising". While we have struggled to propose, extend or update advertising theories, the notion of advertising has evolved considerably and may also be ripe for change.
The second issue is related to interdisciplinary collaboration in our field. I've seen some attempts that explore issues involving advertising in other disciplines, such as effective health messages or social media data mining. I strongly believe that we should make more effort to expand in these directions.
The third issue is related to replication research. It is striking that less than 10% of all of the articles published in Journal of Advertising during the last three decades have been replicated. A lack of replication in advertising research has brought us to a really paradoxical situation ― our theory building efforts have produced a pile of unreplicated research findings. Thus, there should be a call for more replication research in our field.
Why should PhD Candidates apply for the ICORIA Doctoral Colloquium?
For two reasons. First, it provides a platform for networking with other PhD students around the world. You may find great opportunities for information exchange and future collaboration. In the Meet the Editors session, you can directly address questions related to journal publications, such as manuscript preparation and review process. Second, the program offers a workshop to learn one of the most useful quantitative literature review techniques―meta analysis. Our guest-lecture is one of the most internationally recognized and acclaimed experts, Professor Martin Eisend of European University Viadrina. Don't miss this opportunity!
More information on the doctoral colloquium can be found on the EAA-website.
