Call for papers

CALL FOR PAPERS

Authors are invited to submit full (and original research) papers (6+ pages) including surveys, tutorials, perspective/colloquia articles on conference topics of interest through the Morressier (https://www.morressier.com/call-for-papers/6501c5b1cd3f7d001924450d) by January 20, 2024.
By submitting a paper, an author and all co-authors are assumed to agree with the terms of the IOP Proceedings Licence.

Papers that meet the primary requirements or have formatting violations will be accepted with review. The remaining papers will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers based on their technical quality, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. If necessary, a fourth, additional reviewer may be involved. The Program Committee will use the reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation at the conference. The review results will be announced to the submitting authors by email, along with any reviewer comments.

Accepted papers will be submitted to the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science (online ISSN: 1755-1315 / publisher: IOP Publishing) in three months after the conference.

PRIMARY REQUIREMENTS

• Submissions must be:

  • basically, correct and sound;

  • original (not published elsewhere partly or in full and not submitted to other venues for simultaneous consideration);

  • within the IOP EES scope (https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1755-1315/page/scope);

  • within the conference scope;

  • presented at the conference (at least one article's author should attend).

• Up to 2 papers per author (including as co-authors) are accepted.

• Authors utilizing language models (LLMs) to aid in idea generation or drafting of papers should explicitly disclose their usage, providing complete transparency about the LLM employed (including name, version, model, and source) within the submitted paper; such usage must be appropriately documented in the Methods section or acknowledgment section of the manuscript. Authors are urged to verify accuracy and are reminded that, as named authors, they bear complete responsibility for the entire content of the work.

• Authors must ensure citations enhance value, remain unbiased, support relevant points, and avoid superfluous references—particularly to self or others' works—to manipulate citation scores, maintaining ethical standards. The editors reserve the right to exclude excessive citations if these are considered to be potential acts of citation manipulation.

• Please disclose any potential conflicts of interest in the acknowledgments section when you submit your article.

• Authors are encouraged to refer to the Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE) for all aspects of publication ethics (https://publicationethics.org/) and to conform to the ethical rules described on strictly https://publishingsupport.iopscience.iop.org/ethical-policy-journals/, in particular:

  • A single study is not split up into several parts to increase the number of submissions and submitted to various edited book projects or journals or to one journal over time (e.g., "salami-publishing").

  • No data have been fabricated or manipulated (including images) to support the manuscript's conclusions.

  • No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the author's own ("plagiarism"). Proper acknowledgments to other works must be given (including closely copied material (near verbatim), summarized, and/or paraphrased), quotation marks are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions are secured for copyrighted material.

  • Consent to submit has been received from all co-authors and responsible authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been carried out before submission.

  • Authors whose names appear on the submission have contributed sufficiently to the scientific work and share collective responsibility and accountability for the results.

FORMATTING OPTIONS

ICSF 2024 uses the IOP Conference Series format for the proceedings. Therefore, for preparing submission you should use LaTeX2e class file and LaTeX2e guidelines for your submissions. If you do not have experience with LaTeX and do not know how to install the whole machinery, you can use an online template in Overleaf, where all necessary libraries, etc. are already pre-installed. If you would like to submit multimedia or any other supplementary data to accompany your paper, you might find 'Multimedia guidelines' useful. 

PAPER SUBMISSION

In case you have never worked with the Morressier before, you need to create your account using "Sign in or create your account" form. You will be offered to enter your email and click the 'Next' button. The instructions for signing into Morressier will be sent to your email. After completing registration, you should sign in and complete the submission form.

Due to the double-blind peer review mode, you need to prepare two versions of your article in PDF format: a regular manuscript and an anonymized manuscript. Please remove any identifying information, such as authors' names or affiliations, from your anonymized manuscript before submission. In addition to following the instructions above, other steps must be taken to ensure the manuscript is correctly prepared for double-blind peer review. The key points to consider are:

• Please do not use the author's name to refer to your previously published article. For example, write “Shokaliuk and Mintii [1] have demonstrated” rather than “we/the authors have previously demonstrated [1]”.

• Also, make sure that any figures and tables do not contain any reference to author affiliations.

• Choose uploaded file name anonymized.
