The main objective of the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (JTAER) is to publish the results of high quality original and innovative research concerning electronic commerce and related fields, both theoretical and applied. The field of electronic commerce is understood as an inherently interdisciplinary area of research and practice, having an investigative and analytic purpose. Electronic commerce objectives include the study of the phenomena related to practices and processes enabled by communications, Web and mobile technologies in private and public organizations, as well as, social, legal, educational and cultural issues, and information privacy and security, among many other relevant topics of interest in this rapidly changing field. Therefore, electronic commerce includes components of different fields, such as, computer science, psychology, economics, organizational theory, management, sociology, and the natural sciences, among others. However, the main topic of a paper should always be fully related to the electronic commerce field in order to be within the scope of JTAER.
