ETHICS
Please read the detailed Publication Ethics. (Elsevier recommendations and COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors). If a paper contains figures or tables taken from other sources, the author must get the respective permission for reproduction them from the corresponding publishers. Authors, warrants that the Work is original except for such excerpts from copyrighted works (including illustrations, tables, animations and text quotations) as may be included with the permission of the copyright holder thereof, in which case(s) Author(s) obtain(s) written permission to the extent necessary. Author(s) indicate(s) the precise sources of the excerpts in the manuscript.
ORIGIN, MOTIVATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Papers which are prepared for publishing should be original research manuscripts, never published before and not under consideration for publication in any other conference proceeding (journal etc.). All papers are supposed to present novel research results of international interest. Papers need to be related to the main topic of the conference and conference topic fields. We publish papers written in good English only. All papers are reviewed by a native speaker. All papers are thoroughly checked for plagiarism. Acceptable minimum of originality is 90%. All papers should be not less than 6 pages (recommended 8-12 pages).
Number of authors in a single paper is not limited. The corresponding author is the person chosen within the group to be responsible for all contact and correspondence with the periodical. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors (and no inappropriate co-authors) are included in the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and agree on its submission for publication.
REVIEW PROCESS
Only papers of original research type performing results of original studies are accepted.
The recommended size of a paper is 8-12 pages. Scientific review of each paper is made by at least 4 reviewers. If the opinions of the reviewers are radically different, additional reviewers are appointed. Authors have a right to answer the remarks of reviewers and submit revised versions of their papers. Live participation in the conference is an indispensable condition for the publication of the paper. An exception is provided only for the case of «poster-presentation».
HOW TO PREPARE DOC FILES FOR UPLOAD
The conference language and the paper language is English. Make sure that all text elements, formulas, tables, signs and inscriptions in figures are in English. The Greek alphabet is valid only in formulas. All references mentioned in the Reference List are cited in the text, and vice versa. References can only be linked via Crossref if they are correct and complete. The manuscript must be in DOC (or DOCX) file. Make sure that your paper in MS Word is in strict accordance to the author’s template
CHECKLIST
Be careful, no corrections will be made by the publisher after publication!
You need to carefully check your text, including authors’ names, initials, authors’ affiliations, references, which are the most current mistakes.
If you make mistake there, your names will not be properly indexed.
Make sure that your list of references is presented correctly!
Online references will be linked to their original source via CrossRef only if they are correctly presented. If there are errors, the references will not be correctly indexed.
To do so, extra care should be taken when preparing reference lists. References should be cited in the text by placing sequential numbers in brackets (for example, [1], [2, 5, 7], [8-10]). They should be numbered in the order in which they are cited.
Please ensure that affiliations are as full and complete as possible and include the country.
The quality of the digital images should have an original high-resolution, at least 300 dpi for figures that will be printed, and at least 150 dpi for an online only publication. (Cited by the EDP Sciences)
