Editorial 22/1 (original) (raw)
Dear Readers of Electronic Markets, As you may be aware, Electronic Markets has now been with Springer for almost 4 years. During this period the landscape of academic publishing has become even more competitive. Although the number of refereed publications grows by 3 to 4% per year, authors and readers seem to focus even more on the top ranked journals. Meanwhile, not only authors from the traditional English-speaking countries are striving for publications with good rankings. Without these publications starting an academic career in Asia or Europe has also become difficult. While the number of papers usually has a low correlation with their quality, academic journals are challenged in their review processes. However, good reviews require that reviewers dedicate a considerable amount of their sparse time to reviewing. At Electronic Markets we appreciate that many authors submit their work to our journal. In fact, the average number of submissions has doubled since 2007. Difficulties in meeting the required response and cycle times have led us to enhance the organizational capacities at Electronic Markets.
