Submission > Instructions for Authors

PAPER SUBMISSION

The working language of IFAC IAMES’22 is English. The material submitted must be original, not published or being considered elsewhere. The papers are limited to 6 pages formatted in the standard two-column IFAC proceedings format.

Special session proposals could be addressed to the committee for acceptance (providing the session title, the organizer names, a brief abstract, and if possible number of papers expected). All articles, including papers solicited for special sessions, undergo the same rigorous reviewing process by anonymous and independent reviewers.

Detailed instructions for manuscript preparation and templates are available on the IFAC website and also in the support section on Papercept.

PAPER PUBLICATION

All papers accepted for presentation will appear in the Preprints of the meeting and will be distributed to the participants. Papers duly presented at the workshop will be published, in partnership with Elsevier, the IFAC Publisher, in the IFAC-PapersOnLine series hosted at the ScienceDirect web service. Extended versions of the papers can be submitted to other journals only if they contain substantially new material.
