BEST PAPERS

About ten percent accepted papers will be selected as Best Papers. The Best Papers list will be announced in conference program.

PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITIES

IJBI

Outstanding papers will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Business and Information (IJBI). IJBI is a new journal sponsored by the ATISR. The inaugural issue will be published in 2006.

CMR

All full papers accepted in conference will be considered to be published in the Contemporary Management Research (CMR), a refereed, serial publication of BAI conference with ISSN number. The authors may decide to submit or not their manuscripts to CMR. Authors who hope to submit manuscripts to CMR MUST follow the procedure of CMR manuscript submission.

IJBI v.s. CMR

Both IJBI and CMR are publications sponsored by ATISR. IJBI is different from CMR in that IJBI is the premier official journal publication of ATISR. IJBI applies a much more rigorous and lengthy review process, and it is more selective in the articles it publishes than does CMR. Whereas CMR is published in conjunction with BAI annual conference, IJBI is not associated directly with any conference. The journal articles published in IJBI are completely independent of annual conference participation and presentation.

There is no page charge for IJBI. However, the CMR imposes page fees on all accepted manuscripts. These fees are necessary to offset the very substantial cost of putting a manuscript into print. The CMR page fee is $25.00 per single-spaced page.
