About the journal Description The journal Electronic Commerce Research and Applications aims to create and disseminate enduring knowledge in the fast-changing e-commerce environment. A major dilemma in e-commerce research, which this journal aims to address, is how to achieve a balance between the currency and the life span of knowledge.
Electronic Commerce Research and Applications will contribute to the establishment of a research community which will create the knowledge, technology, theory, and applications for the development of electronic commerce, at the intersection of technological potential and business aims. The journal will focus on the evolution of design standards for the future as well as analysing past experience.
Electronic commerce is a multi-disciplinary area, which should be developed in co-operation with existing fields such as Management Information Systems; Business and Artificial Intelligence; Marketing; Business Strategy and Re-engineering; Knowledge Management; Computer Science; and Telecommunications. We will solicit papers on current technologies from these areas, as well as publish papers on completely new topics.
Electronic Commerce Research and Applications is inviting submission of articles in the following fields, but not exclusively:
Agent-based commerce; electronic auctions; eBusiness models; B2B EC; eConsumers' behaviour; customer relationship management and data/web mining; direct marketing; digital economy; eGovernment; electronic payment systems; eService industries; exchanges and eMarketplaces; extranet and intranet; international agreements for global eTrading; enterprise integration between EC and ERP; collaborative commerce; knowledge management systems; process re-engineering with EC; eProcurement management systems; protocols and standards; eTransformation of industry; security and trust; smart card applications for EC; supply chain management; mobile-commerce; Intra- and inter-organizational workflow management systems; XML/EDI; public policy and legal aspects of EC.

General Articles must be written in good English.
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all Authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
Upon acceptance of an article, Authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright see http://www.elsevier.com/authorsrights). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding Author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided.
If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the Author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article.

Presentation of manuscript Print the entire manuscript on one side of the paper only, using double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively.
Title page The title page should contain the article title, author(s) names and affiliations, related footnotes, an abstract not exceeding 100 words, and a list of five to ten keywords, that best describe the overall contents of the article for indexing and retrieval purposes.
Corresponding author Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
References References should be numbered and listed in the same order in which they appear in the text, in the same way as the following examples:

In the text, references should be indicated by [number].
Figures Provide all illustrations on separate pages as high-quality printouts, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction). Number illustrations consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. Clearly mark all illustrations on the lower front side with the figure number.
For detailed guidelines on electronic figures, please refer to the 'artwork instructions' at http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions Proofs When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'.
One set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author, to be checked for typesetting/editing, and should be corrected and returned within 48 hours of receipt. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscript will be allowed at this stage. It is important to ensure that all proof corrections are made in one communication. Subsequent corrections will not be possible, so please ensure your first sending is complete. Proofreading is solely the author's responsibility.
Author enquiries For enquiries relating to the submission of articles, please visit the journal website at http://authors.elsevier.com. The site also provides the facility to track accepted articles and set-up e-mail alerts to inform you when an article's status has changed, as well as detailed artwork guidelines, copyright information, frequently asked questions, and more. Contact details for questions arising after acceptance of an article, especially those relating to proofs, are provided when an article is accepted for publication.
Author benefits The corresponding author, at no cost, will be provided with a PDF file of the article via e-mail. The PDF file is a watermarked version of the published article and includes a cover sheet with the journal cover image and a disclaimer outlining the terms and conditions of use.
