Frequently asked questions
I submitted only an abstract. Can I send the full paper, or change the author names or paper title later?
Yes. You can submit the full paper before the submission deadline and make changes until the registration deadline. After the registration deadline no changes are possible.
My university needs more time to approve my participation. What should I do?
Tell us roughly when you expect approval and we will look at your case individually. We cannot wait beyond two weeks before the conference starts, so please submit your paper or abstract as early as possible.
Can I publish only my abstract in the proceedings? Can it be removed later?
Yes, you can publish only the abstract. Once a paper or abstract is included in the proceedings it cannot be deleted or replaced.
Can I choose the journal for my paper?
No. The reviewers and editor decide which journal suits your paper, based on the full paper. Send the full paper at least two weeks before the registration deadline so we can advise you on journal suitability.
Will I receive written feedback on my paper?
Yes. Every author receives a Paper Evaluation Report after the conference. If your paper is selected for a journal you also receive an Editorial Review Report, for which a full paper must be sent before the conference.
How long does journal publication take?
It depends on how quickly you respond to the reviewers and send the revised paper. The minimum is about six months.
Can I publish my paper in another journal after it appears in the proceedings?
Yes. We suggest publishing only the abstract in the proceedings if you plan to publish the full paper elsewhere.
Is there an early bird discount?
Yes. Early bird registration fees apply for a few days after the paper submission deadline; the exact date is shown on each conference page. We do not sponsor participants.
