Aims and Scope:

A new journal in 1999, Venture Capital publishes cutting 
edge research-based papers from academics and practitioners 
on all aspects of private equity finance such as:
.  institutional venture capital 
. informal venture capital 
. corporate venture capital 
. public sector venture capital 
. community venture capital 

It also covers all aspects of the venture capital process 
from investment decision to exit, including studies on: 
. investment patterns 
. investment decision-making 
. investment performance 
. realisation of investment value exit routes (including 
the relationship with junior capital markets such as 
NASDAQ, EASDAQ, AIM and Nouvelle Marché). 
. economic impact and public policy 

The journal contains:
. Commissioned review articles of recent books on venture 
capital and associated topics, and of specific topics in 
the venture capital field 
. Special issues devoted to papers on a particular theme 
. International coverage, focusing not only on established 
venture capital markets such as the USA and the European 
Union, but also on emerging venture capital markets 
. Emphasis on publishing papers of high academic quality 
from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives which use a 
variety of research methods. Submitted papers will normally 
be reviewed by the editors and two referees. 

The journal brings together venture capital research 
undertaken by academics from different disciplines and 
research conducted from various methodological and 
philosophical standpoints. It is a forum for communication 
between academic researchers, venture capital practitioners 
and policy-makers that raises the knowledge of venture 
capital activity on a global basis.

To achieve this, the journal includes specially 
commissioned overviews of the state of venture capital 
activity in various countries as a regular feature, written 
by industry experts, government officials or academics. A 
practitioner-academic interface will be developed through 
the Executive Forum, to which practitioners are invited to 
contribute.
