Paper selection
The selection is a two-stage process:
-
Abstract: First, a short abstract with maximum of 2 pages in the standard PDF format (2018 abstract template), must be submitted by the author through the Online Submission Portal. A selection Committee will examine all the abstracts submitted during this first period (see dates) to ensure their suitability with respect to the AWTEC criteria. Papers falling outside the scope of AWTEC (as defined by thematic topics), papers consisting of commercial advertisement without any scientific or technical added value, or without novelty (except review papers), will be rejected. Authors will be informed on the decision before 26 February 2018.
-
Paper: Authors of accepted abstracts will then submit their full paper through the web portal before the deadline. All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers who are experts in the field and have been nominated by the AWTEC Technical Committee. During the review period, authors may be asked by the reviewer to amend, correct or revise their paper. The final selection will then be made by the 2nd of July, 2018 following which authors will be informed of their presentation type (see below).
