Authors should submit an original paper in English or French, carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, using the conference site’s online submission procedure. The title, abstract, keywords and bibliography must be in English, regardless of the language of the article.
Papers that are out of the conference’s scope or contain any form of plagiarism will be rejected without being reviewed.
1. Preliminary Paper submission (for review and acceptance in the conference)
A preliminary paper presents a work where the research is completed but it needs to be evaluated by our reviewers before being accepted at EIRP 2014. It may be accepted as a "full paper", a "short paper", a "poster" or as a “student papers”.
The Conference uses the blind peer review process (three international and national reviewers for each paper). To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to provide the paper, WITHOUT any reference to any data of the authors. This means that is necessary to remove the authors’ personal details, the acknowledgements section and any reference that may disclose the authors’ identity. Only DOC/DOCX file format is accepted.
The online submission procedure automatically sends an acknowledgement, by e-mail, to the contact author. The authors are required to follow the reviewers’ recommendations in order to improve their papers.
2. Final Paper (Camera-ready) submission (for publishing)
After the preliminary paper reviewing process is completed, the corresponding author (the author who submitted the paper) of each paper will be notified of the result, by e-mail. The authors are required to follow the reviews in order to improve their paper if necessary and to submit the final paper with all the information about all its authors, before April 21st, 2014.
To upload your final paper, simply log in to your EIRP Proceedings site account with your username and password. If you do not have one, go to log in and access the Not a user? Register with this site. Once you have logged into EIRP Proceedings, click on “New submission”. Follow the same steps as for any new submission and upload your final paper (with all the data on the author and co- author/s and according to the recommendations of the reviewers); do not forget to click on “finish submission” button at the end. Please acknowledge that the Preliminary Paper submission has been subscribed in the site of the Conference, and the final paper has to be subscribed in the site of the Proceedings, EIRP Proceedings.
