IJETrade fosters multidisciplinary discussion and research on the new generation of electronic commerce and electronic trade for businesses, consumers, governments and society, in local and global contexts. It capitalises on the evolution of technologies and emerging managerial approaches and promotes the discipline in an era where the traditional agenda of electronic commerce has been refocused.

The unique value proposition of IJETrade is based on an end-to-end discussion and analysis of technological, business, organisational, social, economic, psychological and managerial issues. IJETrade is a brand new publication outlet for a mature research community that nowadays builds bridges with other scientific communities, exploiting synergies and promoting sustainable development for our world.

Given the extraordinary interest in the provision of services for the support of a fast growing world trade in local and global contexts and for the design, implementation and management of e-commerce and e-trade services, IJETrade concentrates on the proposition of sound theoretical models, methodologies and best practices aiming to provide consultation and promotion of the discipline.
