Publication
All papers submitted to the conference will be assigned to the respective symposium committees based on factors such as submission date and topic relevance. Each symposium committee will then coordinate the peer review process, ensuring rigorous evaluation and making final decisions on acceptance and publication.
Journals
We call for excellent papers and review them according to the requirements of each journal.
Qualified submissions will be recommended for publication in the following journals or corresponding
special issues. About the recommendation, please note:
- The reconmmendation process will TAKE NO CHARGE. However, if there is an APC or any charging fee from
the journal or special issue, the author(s) should acknowledge that it is irrelevant to the conference.
- The conference committee and reviewers will review the submitted manuscript to decide whether it is
qualified to be recommended. The author(s) should acknowledge that the final decision of journals or
special issue is irrelevant to the conference and additional peer-review process is required.
- The acceptance and publication of recommended manuscript depend on the recommending journals' review
process.
- The conference will not guarantee that recommended manuscripts will receive additional or preferential
acceptance policies.
- Recommended manuscripts accepted by the journal or special issue do not require additional conference
