The publishing procedure is as follows:
o Authors submit their papers directly to the conference organisers who, act as proceedings Editors, and arrange peer review of the papers. Further information can be found in http://conferenceseries.iop.org/content/organizers
o Authors need to follow the journal guidelines when formatting their papers, these are available from the website at http://conferenceseries.iop.org/content/authors
o The Editors then submit the papers to IOP in one batch, along with any preface material (preface material is published free of charge). The volume is usually published four to six weeks after submission.
We publish our papers under a licence which is available to read here: http://conferenceseries.iop.org/content/quick_links/IOP_Proceedings_Licence
After the submission of the files we will publish the volume in 3-4 weeks.
