Ethical guidelines

Web of Conferences is committed to the highest standards of publishing integrity and academic honesty. Editors, reviewers and authors are encouraged to refer to The Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE) and to follow its Code of conduct and guidelines.
Serious misconduct (for example, data fabrication, falsification or plagiarism) is taken seriously and will be investigated further. If misconduct is proven, sanctions will be applied.
While the primary responsibility for reviewing the material falls to the Guest Editor, Web of Conferences reserves the right to exclude any material from publication should Web of Conferences deem the material (a) is unsuitable for publication based on form or content, or (b) conflicts with author instructions and ethical standards.
Make sure that you read and conform to our Ethical Publication Practices

Plagiarism

Before publication, Web of Conferences will randomly review papers from the conference using the powerful text comparison tool: iThenticate. This procedure aims to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism.

Conference registration required

At least one author of each manuscript has to register to P&G 2021. After acceptance of a manuscript authors will have to pay the registration fee to ensure that their papers are published.

License

At least one author of each article must sign the license agreement. The copyright is retained by the author(s) under the Creative Commons Attribution license, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
Authors must submit written permissions from publishers of material to be reproduced, if it has already been published elsewhere.
Download the form for the license agreement.

Proofs

Authors will not be supplied with PDF proofs of the articles. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the article has been adequately checked before the final submission. Be careful, no extra corrections will be made by the publisher after publication. Once a paper has been accepted, changes are only permitted in cases of serious scientific error. In those cases, an erratum or a note can be published. Publishing an erratum after online publication of the proceeding will be charged USD 400, except if the error is on the part of the Publisher.
