SUPPORTING JOURNALS

 

 

  

 

Articles must be presented at the conference. Among them, the co-chairs, in consultancy with the Editors in Chief (EICs), will invite selected papers to be submitted and considered for publication free of submission charge. The submission to any of the supporting journals will be from December 15th, 2026 to January 30th, 2027. Authors will be required to attach a “Response letter to the discussant” that shows all the changes made to their manuscript based on the discussant’s report to speed up the reviewing process. However, EICs may apply a single-blind review on the base of both the severity of discussants’ concerns and the quality of job done in revision. Papers submitted must not be under review by any other journal.

 

 

 

Timeline and Submission Process

 

Papers must be submitted by April 5, 2026 (Early submissions are highly encouraged) by attaching to the email both title page and full paper without authors’ details. Decisions will be provided by mid-April.
