International Consortium on Electronic Business (ICEB) will hold a joint journal workshop during its annual conference (see http://www.icebnet.org/) especially designed to assist authors who plan to submit their work to its special issues of International Journal of Electronic Commerce (IJEC) and International Journal of Electronic Business (IJEB). This is a workshop where selected editors and authors of the two journals are congregating and mingling in one place. The purpose is to help prospective authors improve the quality of their papers for submissions to these journal special issues.

Selected papers will be accepted into a round-table discussion. Each table contains 1-2 journal editors serving as the mentors and 3-5 prospective journal authors. The discussion for each paper will last for 30 minutes and focus on how to improve the paper for journal submission. Each author can only represent one paper in this workshop and is obliged to stay on the same table to give feedback to other authors. To facilitate discussion, all editors and authors must read the papers on the same table before the workshop. The total number of papers is limited to 30.

The workshop welcomes authors to submit full papers for consideration. Full papers submitted to ICEB 2013 will be considered automatically. Full papers presented in other conferences are welcome as well.
