| Call for Papers:
20th Annual Symposium on Statistical Challenges in eCommerce Research (SCECR)
We cordially invite you to submit a 2-page extended abstract to the 20th annual Symposium on Statistical Challenges in Electronic Commerce Research (SCECR). This will be SCECR's 20th anniversary and we are planning a special event to celebrate this milestone. The symposium will be hosted by the Nova School of Business and Economics, in Carcavelos (near Lisbon), Portugal June 19-21, 2024.
The theme for the symposium in 2024 will be "Looking into the next 20 years of Information Systems research". We seek papers informed by the progress that the IS research community accomplished during the first 20 years of SCECR and that identify, raise, address or tackle impactful issues that our community should focus on during the next 20 years of SCECR. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, electronic markets, digital platforms, digitization of products and services, online social exchanges, artificial intelligence, the future of work, social media, fintech, health care, education, information diffusion, and sustainability. We would like to encourage papers that study the technological, algorithmic, social, economic, policy, management, and legal aspects of these topics. We welcome methodological contributions related to statistics, data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, econometrics, agent-based modeling, and other empirical approaches. Submissions should highlight the statistical and empirical challenges that arise from these approaches. Additional details can be found on the symposium website (http://scecr.com).
We seek to gather interdisciplinary scholars interested in the careful and robust application of empirical and analytic methods to tackle their research questions. Scholars with early-stage and risky work are particularly encouraged to submit to receive feedback from the diverse audience that constitutes the SCECR community.
The deadline for submission is March 8, 2024, and notifications of paper decisions will be communicated by April 1, 2024. Authors should submit a two-page extended abstract (excluding references, figures, and tables) that outlines their research questions, the corresponding empirical challenges, the research approach pursued to address their questions and these challenges, and a preview of results obtained. Abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scecr2024
