Beta (Journal of Consumer and Consumption Research)

 

AIM: The existence of specialized journals, which have long been an established practice in the international literature by creating publication opportunities according to the sub-specialty areas of scientific fields, is unfortunately not a fully settled practice in our country and in our field. The long-term goal of this journal, created to fill this gap, is to contribute to the analysis of the behavior of our country’s consumers and to the formation of a theoretical framework by creating a platform where contributions aimed at understanding consumer and consumption behaviors can be published directly.
