Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJEBank fosters multidisciplinary discussion and research on the emerging and fast growing topic of electronic banking. IJEBank is the first international attempt to provide a scientific publication outlet for the soft and hard topics of the e-banking research agenda. Given the extraordinary interest in the provision of customer and business oriented e-banking services, IJEBank concentrates on the proposition of sound theoretical models, methodologies and best practices aiming to provide consultation and promotion of the discipline.

For this reason, IJEBank delivers research articles, position papers, surveys and case studies aiming:

  • To provide a holistic and multidisciplinary discussion on how traditional and emerging technologies support new unforeseen means for the provision of e-banking services
  • To promote the international collaboration and exchange of ideas and know how on e-banking practices, applications, methodologies and services
  • To investigate new required competencies and training/education needs both for customers and banking officers/managers
  • To analyse the linkages of e-banking with strategy and to craft managerial models for the alignment of business strategy and e-banking services
  • To provide a balanced discussion of customer oriented themes (customer relationship management, e.g. customer training etc) and business themes (banking performance, measurement, control, enterprise application integration etc)
  • To promote the humanistic vision of e-banking services and to consider new possibilities for the excluded people and people in need
  • To foster collaboration for worldwide initiatives for the benefit of the "Third World"

 Go Top  Objectives

The banking sector provides a key backbone towards sustainable development, investment, and finance. The explosion of the traditional perceived banking "products" or "services" nowadays has resulted in a critical reconsideration for the deployment of information and communication technologies in the banking industry. With an emphasis both on the internal capacities and infrastructures of modern banking organisations and on the external "outlook" of the customers and business, the IJEBank puts together complementary views of disciplines and promotes sound contribution to the theory and practice of e-banking.

This scholarly journal recognises the need to bring together academia and industry to explore all the synergies and exploit all the benefits of applied research to sound business problems. This is why we set as the ultimate objective of IJEBank to bridge the theoretical approaches commonly found in academic research with the real needs of the banking sector. IJEBank is not about electronic banking as a new verbalism. It is about e-banking as an applied domain with a great contribution to the knowledge society.

The main objectives of IJEBank are summarised as follows:

  • To provide the leading edge approaches and applications of ICTs in banking sector
  • To provide the state-of-the art/best practices/lessons learnt and cases studies aiming to develop a critical knowledge repository for all those interested in e-banking
  • To contribute in the literacy of electronic banking
  • To facilitate the sharing of ideas, know how as well as tacit and explicit knowledge in the e-banking
  • To promote the knowledge and learning management dimension of e-banking
