You all are cordially invited to submit a paper to the Journal of Management Analytics special issue on Blockchain Analytics. This call for paper can be accessed via http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/est/jma/si1?utm_source=CPB&utm_medium.... Blockchain is transforming industries by enabling innovative business practices. Its revolutionary power has permeated areas such as remittance, payment, banking, financing, trading, manufacturing, supply chain management, legal service, education, healthcare, government, and so on. Blockchain enables trustless transactions, smart contracts, decentralized economics, and disintermediated society. It has fundamentally altered how business value is being discovered, created, transferred, distributed, and realized in economics. This poses new challenges for both business practitioners and academic researchers. In particular, there is a gazing gap between the need for analytics expertise and the existing skills to comprehend the transformative power of Blockchain. This special issue hence calls for innovative and advanced research on Blockchain analytics. Topics of interest for the special issue include, but are not limited to:
* Advancement of core techniques (e.g., distributed ledgers, consensus mechanism, cryptography) behind Blockchain * Minting, mining, and trading of cryptocurrencies * Blockchain enabled trustless computing * Incentive mechanism, reputation system and value attribution in Blockchain * Smart contracts * New applications and business models enabled by Blockchains (e.g. supply chain finance, prediction market, sharing economy, etc.) * Emerging Decentralized Application (DAPP) and Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) * Monitoring, verification and regulation (e.g. Sandbox) in Blockchain * Blockchain + Artificial Intelligence * Blockchain + Data Analytics * Blockchain + Internet of Things (IoT) Important Dates
