Electronic Markets (EM) is an international academic journal with it’s editorial office at the Chair of Application Systems of Leipzig University. Founded in 1991, EM is among the first journals to address the field of digital platforms and electronic business. Since 2011 the journal is indexed in the Web of Science, i.e. the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI).
On June 30, 2021, the Clarivate Journal Impact Factors for 2020 have been released. EM is proud to announce that that the new Impact Factor 2020 is now 4.765! This represents a strong increase from 2019 (up from 2.918), which is also reflected in the new 5-year Impact Factor of 6.699 (up from 4.417).
Although the impact factor represents only one measure for scientific journals, its growth represents a success in the academic publishing market. We would like to thank the entire EM-community who contributed to this success, namely authors, reviewers, and editors! The current IF is a commitment for EM to make a substantial contribution to our community.
