Manuscripts, prepared according to the author guidelines, should be submitted no later than December 15 to Adele Corona at icnsmeetings@gmail.com.  All manuscripts will be logged and forwarded to the Editor for peer review processing.

Preparing your paper:

IOP Conference Series uses author-supplied PDFs for all online and print publication. Authors are asked to prepare their papers using Microsoft Word or LaTeX, according to the journal guidelines and templates, and then convert these files to PDF. Full instructions on preparing your paper, along with templates, can be found on the IOP Conference Series website.
It is important to ensure that when you submit your paper, it is in its final form ready for publication, and has been thoroughly proofread. IOP do not copyedit papers and will not send out author proofs prior to publication. Please note: post-publication changes are not usually permitted, unless there are exceptional circumstances, so please ensure your paper has been checked for errors.

What you need to provide:

  • The PDF file of your paper: when preparing your paper ensure that you follow the author guidelines, but as a minimum:
    • Use European A4 sized paper with at least a 25mm margin
    • Ensure that your paper includes an abstract
    • Do not add any page numbers, headers or footers to your article
    • We do not generally need the DOI numbers added to the references, as long as all the information is correct then the citations should link automatically using Crossref for almost all journals and some books. If it's a more obscure book or paper from a foreign language journal then supplying the DOI is probably a good idea so IOP Science can link it as it may well not be in our database.
  • Any multimedia files you wish to publish online
    • JPCS encourages authors to submit multimedia files to enhance the online versions of published research articles.
