Some conferences offer publication of selected or extended papers in affiliated journals, how this works? What is their agreement, what is the process for doing that?
Olympia Vlachopoulou It is customary for conferences to provide selected or extended papers for publication in associated journals. This gives conference registrants the option to get their work published in a peer-reviewed publication as well as present it at the conference.
The procedure for publishing conference papers in associated journals differs according to the conference and journal. However, in general, the following stages are frequently involved:
1. Paper submission: Authors often submit their papers to conferences via a submission system such as EasyChair or EDAS. The papers are then assessed by the conference program committee before being included in the conference proceedings if approved.
2. Paper selection for publishing: Following the conference, the organizers may ask chosen paper writers to submit their work for publication in an allied journal. In addition, the organizers may issue a call for papers, encouraging writers to submit their work for consideration.
3. Review and acceptance: After submitting an article for publication, it is subjected to the journal's usual review procedure, which often includes peer review by experts in the area. If the manuscript is approved for publication, the authors will be contacted and requested to make any required changes.
4. When an article is accepted for publication, it is scheduled to appear in a future issue of the journal. The writers may be requested to pay a publishing charge, which helps to fund the project.
The publication agreement's particular terms and conditions will be determined between the journal and the conference. Before accepting an offer to publish in an associated publication, writers should carefully review the agreement.
