Publication Fee Policy (Important)
Publication charges (e.g., APCs / processing fees) may apply for papers accepted for journal publication, in line with each journal’s policy (open access or hybrid).
The publication fee (where applicable) is separate from the conference registration fee.
Detailed information on APCs or page charges will be communicated after abstract acceptance and before full-paper submission to the selected journal.
Please note: payment of any publication fee does not guarantee publication. Final acceptance depends solely on successful peer review and editorial approval by the journal.
Eligibility
Only papers that are presented at the conference (oral, invited or poster) are eligible for recommendation to partner journals.
