Publication opportunities
ISEES is in discussions with several established SCI- and Scopus-indexed journals, including Applied Thermal Engineering, Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, and Environmental Science and Pollution Research, about a possible dedicated special issue for selected, high-quality XI SEEC papers. Journal arrangements and eligibility are subject to confirmation; all manuscripts remain subject to each journal’s scope and editorial review. Conference participation does not guarantee publication.
Authors may also consider submitting suitable work to ISEES’s own Journal of Energy and Environmental Sustainability (JEES) ↗, subject to its scope and peer-review process.
The best paper presented (oral and poster) in each track will be selected by the technical review committee for awards in the valedictory session. See submission guidelines ↗
