Abstract
Electronic commerce is undergoing significant advances that make online purchases difficult to manage due to transaction complexity. The fact that e-commerce is a complex set of interrelated and interconnected transactions does not exclude risks. Basing on a literature review of 106 publications, this article identifies, analyzes and discusses the significant risks threatening e-commerce. This review allowed us to identify four major risks: environmental risks, operational risks, perceived risks and ultimately reverse logistics risks. Environmental risks are associated with all behaviors that are harmful to nature, such as, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and heavy use of packaging. Perceived risks are risks that are directly related to the buyer and can confuse the purchase decision. Operational risk arises from the flow of e-commerce logistics. And finally, the risk of reverse logistics when a customer returns a defective product. For this reason, security measures need to be taken to optimize these risks, maintain service performance, satisfy customers and respect the sustainability of the environment.

To serve as an international platform, the IJECS encourages manuscript submissions from authors all around the world. As a multi-discipline journal, The IJECS welcome both technology oriented and business oriented electronic commerce research articles. The purpose of the International Journal of Electronic Commerce Studies is to promote electronic commerce research and provide worldwide scholars a place to publish their innovative work in electronic commerce. To be published in the journal, the manuscript must make strong empirical, theoretical, or practical contributions and highlight the significance of the contributions to the electronic commerce field. Thus, preference is given to submissions that test, extend, or build strong theoretical frameworks for electronic commerce theory, electronic commerce system development, and electronic commerce practice. The journal is not tied to any particular national context; the geographic distribution of authors publishing in the journal came from countries around the world. Articles introducing cases of innovative applications in electronic commerce around the world are also published in the journal. The journal provides scholars opportunities to realize the electronic commerce research and development around the world. Articles in the International Journal of Electronic Commerce Studies will include, but are not limited to the following areas.
