Publication

We encourage authors to submit full papers or extended abstracts of research-in-progress, however since 2018, we will publish only the abstract without making formal conference proceedings to leave the author’s copyright of publishing the papers in the international journals. Past ICEC proceedings can be found at www.ACM.org.

The submitted papers will be the base of selecting the best papers and invitation to special issue of Electronic Commerce Research(ECR) listed in SSCI. If a paper is invited to ECR in ICEC2019, then a revised paper will be submitted to the gest editors, where it will undergo a second-round review. The presentation at ICEC2019 will be not only a good channel of publication, but also a good opportunity of discovering good comments and potential coauthors of work-in-progress research.

The conference will be held in Haeundae Grand Hotel located at Haeundae beach, which is often considered one of Korea’s most famous and beautiful beaches.
