The International Journal of Electronic Markets, published quarterly since
1991, is the key forum for advancing the understanding and practice of
electronic commerce and markets.  Site features selections from its
current issue and archives organized by author and/or topic.  Issues are
available in PDF format.

Published with growing success since 1991 Electronic Markets was the first
Journal to report the current developments, the latest trends, the
impacts, policies, system concepts, methodologies and cultural change
related to the exciting and rapidly evolving new research field Electronic
Commerce.

We will continue to inform academics, executives, professionals,
entrepreneurs, government personnel and other key players on principal
developments and trends adding new features to the publication, like the
full integration with all NetAcademy online resources. The paper Journal
and its online version are a way to keep in touch, share information, and
to establish contacts in the area of electronic commerce. 

The Journal has a world-wide readership of about 3000 electronic commerce
professionals. Of these readers, 60% are practitioners who work in
industry, 40% work in government and academia. 

Electronic Markets is a multidisciplinary journal whose audiences include
policy- and decision-makers and scientists in government, industry and
education;  managers concerned with the effects of the electronic commerce
revolution, organisations and society; and scholars with an interest in
the relationship between information technologies, new forms of commerce
and social change.

Commerce. We are looking forward to your articles, feedback, suggestions

Scope

Electronic Markets intends to embrace a wide and rich array of electronic
commerce issues.  We would like to focus on commerce, not just
transactions, implying that commerce denotes a larger process including
aspects of information seeking and distribution, negotiation, trust,
risk-taking, customer relationships, buyers finding sellers, sellers
finding customers, after-sale service and support. Hence the notion of
electronic markets that embrace all of the above. 

Electronic Markets is primarily devoted to publish original articles,
taking the form of case studies, experience reports and special sections.

In addition each issue will comprehend in addition articles on current
research issue, project descriptions, regular columns, important
announcements, feature presentations, as well as surveys, reviews and news
columns. The following issues are observed closely: 

      electronic markets and hierarchies, 
      organisational effects of electronic commerce, 
      the Internet as emerging infrastructure for electronic markets, 
      applications of new technologies to electronic commerce, 
      economics of electronic commerce, 
      reference models of electronic markets, 
      payment solutions, 
      logistics solutions, 
      security solutions,
