CALL FOR PAPERS

We cordially invite you to submit a 2-page extended abstract to the 21st annual Symposium on Statistical Challenges in Electronic Commerce Research (SCECR), which will be held in the beautiful coastal city of Paphos, Cyprus, from June 22-24, 2025.

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, and sustainability. We want to encourage papers that study technological, algorithmic, social, economic, policy, management, and legal aspects. We welcome methodological contributions 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. 

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 encouraged to submit to receive feedback from the diverse audience of the SCECR community.

The deadline for submission is March 7, 2025, and notifications of paper decisions will be communicated by April 7, 2025. 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=scecr2025
