Publication Policy

Publication policy

Conference papers will be indexed for IEEE Xplore and EI Compendex only if all three of the following requirements are satisfied: submit all publication materials, pay at least one regular registration, and present the work at the conference. Authors who are unable to attend and present their work must pay attention to special instructions in either C2 or C3.

A. Submit publication materials

The author must submit the final version of manuscript and IEEE Copyright Form before the due submission deadline. These are submitted through the paper submission system, which is entered from the conference website. IEEE is very strict about the requirements for PDF files for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore.
We strongly recommend to use PDF eXpress to check your final version using the code ID: iecon11x.

B. Pay full registration fee

An author must pay a full, regular registration fee before 5 September, 2011. Reduced registration fees (i.e. retired registration, student registration, etc) are not considered regular, and will NOT be accepted for paper publication,  EXCEPT for special invitees. NOTE: Each full, regular registration entitles an author to publish up to two papers. An additional full registration will be required for up to two additional papers.

C. Present the work

Presentation is defined as one of the following:

  1. By author: Ideally, the primary author or one of the co-authors will attend the conference and present their contribution. This is the classical way of participating in conferences, and authors gain the greatest professional benefits.
  2. By colleague: If the primary author any of the co-authors cannot attend, then a qualified colleague may present the paper. A qualified colleague is one who is familiar with the technical field, and is capable of discussing the issues. The primary author or co-authors would miss the technical interaction, but fulfil professional obligations. NOTE: A full regular registration must be paid even if the qualified colleague is an author of another (different) paper in the conference.
  3. Absent authors: If the author or qualified colleague cannot attend the conference, then the author must notify the General Chairs and Local Committee before 5 September, 2011. The absent author must  submit his/her work as a poster to the Local Committee by post or express mail service no later than 25 September, 2011. The conference program committee will review the presentation, and then the poster will be presented in one of the Interactive Dialogue Sessions. In case the presentation is considered non acceptable, then the paper will be considered NOT PRESENTED.

NOTE: A full regular registration fee must be paid, and absent authors may submit only one (1) paper per regular fee. Papers that do not meet all three requirements (A, B, and C) will be removed after the conference, and will not be indexed for either IEEEXplore or EI Compendex. No registration refund will be given in any case.

According to the above policy, the IECON 2011 will publish and distribute at the conference a Conference Proceedings with copyrighted content. All final papers will be included in the IEEE content library, BUT no-show papers will NOT be accessible from IEEE Xplore. No-show papers are copyrighted, however, cannot be re-published without permission from the IEEE.
