Journals

We are committed to supporting the broader dissemination of high-quality publications within the scientific community, and as such, the conference papers will be considered for publication in qualified journals.

Authors will be able to choose from several publication opportunities, depending on the topic of the manuscript, primarily in Scopus-indexed journals with SJR Q2–Q3 rankings. If the selected journal charges an Open Access Article Processing Charge (OA APC), the fee must be covered by the authors.

Negotiations are currently underway with Q2 and Q3 ranked journals.
