All papers will be double-blind reviewed and published in a conference proceeding with ISBN: 978-99949-0-384-9. All abstracts will be published in a separate section in the same book.
After the conference, authors may submit their papers to any relevant journal. However, authors will need to follow the requirements and guidelines of the journal where they will submit their paper(s). To help our authors with this process, we have made a list of potential publication venues. Most of the journals are open access, many are free, some are indexed in Scopus, some have Thompson Reuters Web of Science Impact Factors while some have article processing charges.
