Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is my paper indexed in Scopus?

A: It depends on the specific conference you are interested in. Please visit the conference's website and navigate to the "Author Guidelines" section on the homepage. There, you will find comprehensive information related to the indexing of the conference proceedings and papers.

Q: How long does it typically take for my paper to appear on Scopus and Google Scholar?

A: Generally, it takes up to six months for papers to be indexed in Scopus after publication, whereas they typically appear in Google Scholar within a few weeks.

Q: Do I need to attend all 3 days to get a certificate?

A: For three-day conferences, one day—sometimes the first, sometimes the last—is dedicated to virtual presentations, while the other two days are for in-person sessions. You can review the program and attend the presentations that interest you. While it is not mandatory to attend all presentations, you are required to present your own submission. We encourage everyone to participate as much as possible, but attending all presentations is not necessary to receive a certificate.

Q: Where can I find and download presentation slides from other presenters and speakers?

Unfortunately, due to our confidentiality policies, we cannot share the presentations. However, we do have pre-recorded videos from virtual participants that are accessible with their consent after the conference concludes. We will distribute the relevant links to all attendees of the conference.

Q: How can I obtain an invitation letter for my visa application?

A: The invitation letter will be issued only after you complete the registration process, which includes paying the registration fee and submitting the completed registration form. Once your registration is confirmed, all the requested documents will be sent to you via email.

Q: What is the maximum number of papers I can submit to each conference?

A: Each author can submit up to three papers (extended abstract, short paper, or full paper). However, the author must register for one paper and pay an additional fee for each extra submission.

Q: What is the journal publication process?

A: There are two different processes for journal publication:

  1. Participants in one of our conferences
  2. Authors will have up to two months to revise the paper(s) they submitted for the conference by adding more data, refining results, enhancing discussions, and modifying the title. They must also ensure their manuscript follows our journal template. After revisions, the paper will undergo a second peer-review process, and further changes may be required based on the reviewers' feedback. Once the final version is submitted and approved, the paper will be published within one month.
