Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for an upcoming Special Issue focusing on the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the evolving landscape of electronic and mobile commerce. As AI technologies continue to advance, they are fundamentally reshaping e-commerce by enabling personalized experiences, intelligent automation, and innovative business models.
This Special Issue welcomes original research and conceptual papers that explore the impact of AI on digital commerce, with an emphasis on cutting-edge applications and strategic implications. We particularly encourage submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
- AI-driven personalization and recommendation systems;
- Conversational AI and intelligent chatbots in customer engagement;
- AI-based predictive analytics and consumer behavior insights;
- AI-enabled dynamic pricing and revenue optimization;
- Novel AI-based business models and digital innovations in e-commerce;
- AI for sustainable and ethical e-commerce practices.
There are two ways to participate in this JTAER Special Issue:
- Authors can directly submit through the MDPI submission platform for the regular fee.
- Authors could also participate in the 9th International Workshop on Entrepreneurship, Electronic, and Mobile Business, taking place in Istanbul, Turkey (October 9–10, 2025) to qualify for a discount.
