BEST PAPERS
About ten percent (10%) accepted papers will be select as Best Papers.
The Best Papers list will be announced in conference program.
PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITIES
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.
Outstanding papers will be considered for publication in the
International Journal of Business and Information (IJBI). IJBI is a new
journal sponsored by the i-BAC. The inaugural issue is published in
2006.
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 page.
