JOURNALS – PUBLICATIONS
In collaboration with the Academy of E-Commerce, the International Academy of E-Business publishes two major peer-reviewed (refereed) journals:

The E-Business Review(ISSN: 1550-7793)
On the basis of the recommendations of two or more reviewers, the EBR publishes, periodically in hard copy, both exploratory and conclusive studies, including several relevant and outstanding papers from the Academy’s annual conferences. Each submission goes through a “blind” review process. Submission policies, guidelines and other details are available elsewhere on this Web site. Or, you may write to: adm@iaeb.net .  (Author's guidelines at www.iaeb.info )

The Journal of E-Business (http://www.JournalofE-Business.org .) (ISSN: 1542 0846) (Author's guidelines also at www.iaeb.info )
The JEB primarily is an “online,” refereed journal. Typically twice a year, it publishes completed research studies and cases dealing with both theoretical and practical e-business topics and issues. Each submission for publication goes through a “double-blind” review process. On the basis of the reviewers’ recommendations, both exploratory and conclusive articles are accepted and published. Submission policies, guidelines and other details are available elsewhere on this Web site. Or, you may write to: Editor@JournalofE-Business.Org. Please submit your articles for future publications, electronically, to: Submissions@JournalofE-Business.Org  (with subject line: “For JEB”) (and cc to: adm@iaeb.net  )

(Because the JEB is currently in transition in terms of editor and Web-hosting changeovers, the Web site is experiencing some serious technical problems. The JEB Web site should be ready with its complete archive within the next few weeks. Our apologies for inconvenience!.)

PUBLICATION PLANS IN PROGRESS: The Journal of E-Commerce and several books with a focus on specific e-business topics/themes.

Publication Policies and Submission Guidelines

A brief summary of the International Academy of E-Business publication policies and manuscript/article submission guidelines is outlined below. Authors and co-authors, who intend to submit their individual manuscript for publication consideration, should fully read and understand them. 

• The International Academy of E-Business (the Academy) reserves the right to change its policies and guidelines at any time without prior notice.

• The International Academy of E-Business reserves the right to publish or not to publish any manuscript for any reason at any time – even after the manuscript had already been accepted for publication.

• Submission of manuscripts for possible publication implies that the authors have read these policies and guidelines.

• Submission of manuscripts does not necessarily constitute its acceptance for publication by the Academy.  Neither does it mean that the manuscript has been received by the Academy.

• All manuscripts submitted for publication go through a review process, which typically takes several weeks during the regular academic year -- longer during summer months and holidays.

• COPYRIGHT: Submitted manuscripts should be original, and they must not violate or infringe upon any intellectual property rights of any individual or organization. If a manuscript is accepted for publication or published, the copyright ownership is presumed to have been transferred by the author(s) to the International Academy of E-Business, irrespective of whether the transfer was carried out formally or not.

• The International Academy of E-Business retains all copyrights over all of its published content and materials, unless some other arrangements have been specifically agreed upon in writing by the Academy’s Administrator or its Executive Director. Typically, the author(s) of the accepted manuscript for publication would receive additional copyright information and a copyright transfer form for each author’s signature.  Failure of the author(s) to return the copyright form in a timely fashion will result in publication delays.

• The International Academy of E-Business respects the intellectual property rights and ownerships of individuals and/or organizations, in addition to all other rights. Furthermore, the Academy does not encourage, nor approve, anyone to infringe on the rights of others. If there are right violations from manuscript publication, each author of the violating manuscript bears the total liability—solely and/or collectively. Each author of the accepted manuscript for publication agrees to hold the International Academy of E-Business harmless, in case of right violations, and each author furthermore guarantees to protect and defend the innocence and the lack of any responsibility of the Academy, its officers and/or its representatives. 

• Inadvertently errors, omissions, and/or other mistakes may occur when manuscripts are published. Even though the International Academy of E-Business regrets such occurrences, it assumes no legal or financial responsibilities. All manuscripts are accepted and published, subject to errors. To minimize such errors, manuscripts should be prepared for consistency, style, and easy uploading.
