If the proposal has been co-authored, the author must indicate the details of each of them (name, university, country, and email).
No. You can send as many proposals as you wish. However, in order to give a fair chance to the greatest number of people to present, within the limitations of the programming, only one presentation per author and registration will be allowed. This means that three registered authors may submit three presentations and three articles jointly (that is, as co-authors).
Making changes to approved proposals is not permitted. While the proposal is under review or re-submission, you can make corrections.
The scientific committee will review your proposal within 2-3 weeks and send you an email notification. This notification may arrive in your spam folder (spam). If that occurs, please look in spam and mark the message as the desired email to ensure the correct reception of subsequent notifications.
Visit the ‘Programme’ section on the conference website to see the list of proposals accepted to date.
Yes. At the end of the conference, the digital Book of Proceedings (with ISBN) is published with the long summaries (abstract) of the papers presented.

We recommend using the template that we make available to authors. Also, consult our section on Guidelines for submitting articles.
The length of time varies. Once the article is received, and after verifying that the formal submission rules are met, the article is sent to two appropriate (peer) evaluators for review. This can take several weeks. Once the evaluators’ reports have been received, they are made available to you (after concealing the evaluators’ identities) and you are asked to send the final version of your article within the following fortnight for final publication. Articles are published continuously, so your final article will be published once the publication process is complete.
Only minor changes can be made in the layout phase. All substantial changes in content should be made in the previous phase, so only orthographic errors (italics, capital letters, headings, etc.) should be focused on in this phase. In addition, if fields appear marked in yellow in the test that we send you, you must send us the necessary information in order to continue with the process.
Your article will be published on the journal’s website, in the ‘Current’ section. Visit the ‘Journals’ section to access the web pages for each academic journal.
No. You will only receive a (separate) electronic copy of your article.
Yes, you can assign a Creative Commons open license for your article. This will allow you to upload your article wherever you want (personal website, institutional repository, etc.) and – for a fee of €85 – it will also be open on our platform.
We follow the deferred open access publication policy. That is, the content of articles will not be open until two years after they were published. In the meantime, you can access the content of our journals by various means: journal subscriptions, by purchasing a full issue, or by purchasing an article.
Two types of subscriptions exist, depending on whether the contractor is an individual or an institution. A subscription lasts one year, but it can be renewed.
To sign up for an individual subscription, you must first be registered with the journal. Once registered, you should go to your main user page, where you can simply click on the ‘Manage my subscriptions’ link.
However, if you want to sign up for a subscription on behalf of an institution, log into the platform is not necessary. The user’s domain or IP address will be used to give access to the subscription content.
To buy a full issue you must first be registered with the journal. Once registered, you can simply access the full issue through the summary (in either the ‘Current’ or ‘Files’ tabs of each journal). If you click on the link to the PDF file, the platform will give you the option to buy the issue using your PayPal account.
