Platforms for electronic commerce, mobile commerce, and online
social
networking are making huge impact on our life in various ways.
Meanwhile,
data generated from these platforms has created tremendous value
not only
to the business but also to the society. In addition to leveraging
the data
for business objectives, eCommerce researchers and scholars also
bear the
responsibility of contributing to the benefits of the general
public by
analyzing such data.
This special issue seeks data-enabled research that applies or
develops
computational and data science methods to address societal
challenges in
today’s interconnected world. We encourage research that analyzes
publicly
available data (e.g., from the Web or government agencies) or
proprietary
data (e.g., from business and organizations).
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
· Discrimination and bias in social media
· Vulnerable population in disaster relief and infectious disease
control
· (Mis)Information during emergency responses
· Equality and privacy in eCommerce recommender systems
· Social justice in law enforcement
· Equal access to business or life opportunities
· Disparities and inequality in health, health literacy and
healthcare
· Healthcare management during emergencies
· Donations and fundraising for charity
· Environmental protection and sustainability
Authors are encouraged to email their papers’ abstracts to guest
editors,
so that the fit for this special issue can be evaluated, although
this step
is optional.
