| Tiivistelmä: | The aim of this research paper is to review and evaluate the empirical research design of papers to determine the scientific identity of a selection of academic marketing journals. The journal sample consists of the Australasian Marketing Journal, the European Journal of Marketing and the Journal of Marketing. The review and evaluation considers a six-year period, namely 20002005. The content analysis consisted of 811 papers. It was found that the leading continental journals in marketing maintain a scientific identity based upon the continental paradigm of research values. If it is driven to the extremes, a paradigmatic myopia and inertia of research designs may evolve that limit the scientific identity to be dogmatic and narrow-focused rather than variable and broad-focused. |
