Journal of Electronic Commerce
Editor-in-Chief: Vladimir Zwass

The Journal of Electronic Commerce (JEC) will begin its publication in the Summer of 1996 as the first scholarly journal devoted exclusively to advancing the understanding and practice of electronic commerce. JEC will publish papers presenting approaches of multiple disciplines to offer an integrated view of the field. Management information systems, computer science, economics, and sociology are only some of these disciplines.

Electronic commerce is the sharing of business information, maintaining business relationships, and conducting business transactions by means of wide-area computer networks. The area is undergoing explosive growth and calls for rethinking of many aspects of commerce and of societal relationships, as well as for the adaptation and application of several essential information technologies.

The Journal will appear quarterly and will maintain stringent refereeing standards. Empirical and interpretive papers, espousing multiple methodologies and perspectives, as well as paradigmatic designs will be published. Some of the principal areas of the Journal's interest will be:

• advanced electronic data interchange
• electronic funds transfer
• the Internet as the emerging infrastructure for electronic commerce
• effects of the Internet use on the organizational structure and processes
• application of computer and communication technologies to electronic commerce
• economics of electronic commerce
• standardization in electronic commerce
• marketing on the Internet
• role of electronic commerce in business globalization
• changes in interorganizational relationships caused by electronic commerce
• social dynamics of the Internet-style communications
• security and privacy of transactions and information
• on-line screen-based trading
• smart cards and other access technologies
• intelligent agents, browsers, and spiders

The Journal will be run by a prestigious Editorial Board of experts from the academic and business worlds.
