 Paper Preparation

  1. A manuscript is submitted in the PDF format. The final submission also should contain the source text in the LaTeX or Word formats and files of figures. All pages should be numbered, and the manuscript must include all necessary elements of the paper.
  2. The first page of the manuscript should include the title of the paper, the initials, surnames, and affiliations (including country, city, zip code, and address for correspondence) of all the authors followed by the short abstract. At least one of the authors should provide an e-mail address for correspondence. 
  3. In formulas, all roman letters denoting physical quantities should be italicized EVm, etc.). Vectors must be in bold type without arrows over the letters. Similarity numbers (Ar, Re, etc.), functions (sin, arcsin, sinh, etc.), conventional mathematical abbreviations (max, min, opt, const, idem, lim, log, ln, det, exp), chemical elements (Cl, Fe), etc., should be in roman type. With the exception of abbreviations including those of surnames, which must be in roman type, letters in sub- and superscripts should be in lowercase italics.

Initial Proceedings submission

Create PDF version of your proceedings and follow to the Proceedings submission section. There you need to upload your PDF file by Submit Paper button.

Receving reviews and working with it

To maintain the anonymity of the reviewer, a member of the organizing committee will act as an intermediary in this process. We will submit your PDF file to the reviewer on your behalf, and the reviewer's comments will be posted to your proceedings page. You will see the name of the organizing committee member, but please note that this person is not responsible for the review or approval of your paper.

Once you receive comments on your submission, you will be able to upload a revised version of the paper and write your response in the comment section.

At some point, you may receive a comment indicating that your paper has been approved by the reviewer, but the submission status may not yet reflect this. This is because we will need additional documents from you: 

  1. Author agreement - a PDF version of the signed document, with signatures from all co-authors.
  2. Source of your proceedings. It may be either Word document or LaTeX project. If submitting a LaTeX project, please archive it in a ZIP file. If your Word document includes images, make sure to archive them together with the document. 

Important!!! The Indico proceedings platform does not allow for resubmission of files. Therefore, when making your final submission, please upload all files to the staging area first, and only then click the "Submit new revision" button. If you encounter any issues, please leave a comment requesting a reset of your submission.

After the technical check for file correctness, the status of your proceedings will change to "Accepted."

Congratulations!
