Following the decision of our steering and scientific committees, the abstract submission platform has now re-opened to allow contributions by potential participants who have not been able to submit abstracts due to Covid-19 related concerns and remain open until 15 July 2021.
To submit an abstract, click here.
Already accepted abstracts are automatically rolled over to the 2022 physical event unless their authors wish to withdraw them.
Full Manuscript submission deadline has now been extended to 15 December 2021. Authors of accepted abstracts are welcome to submit revised/improved versions of their papers by the new due date.
Abstract submissions are now open. The Deadline for abstract submission is 15 December 2021. Abstracts received after the deadline will not be considered.
Content – All abstracts must be written in English and should be relevant to the Conference Scientific Topics. Abstracts should contain the specific goals of the study, the methods used and a summary of the results. The Abstract title should clearly define the work discussed. Authors should refrain from using abbreviations in the title.
Length of Abstracts – Abstracts should be no more than 250 words and must be submitted through the authors’ portal in the required format. (The 250 word limit does not include the title, author or affiliation information).
Acceptance – The Scientific Committee will review all abstracts submitted and notice for acceptance will be sent to the corresponding author within 3 weeks (from the time of submission). Authors of accepted Abstracts will receive an ID by email which will be referenced in all future correspondence of the Authors with the Conference. Only the authors of accepted abstracts will be allowed to submit manuscripts to the Conference Proceedings.
Manuscripts may be either in the form of a full paper or an extended abstract (if the work presented has been published elsewhere and provided that appropriate reference is made).
Full papers are expected to meet the scientific criteria of novelty and academic excellence. Accepted full-papers will be submitted for indexing to SCOPUS. There is no restriction on the length of manuscripts, provided that the text is concise and comprehensive.
Extended Abstracts should summarize the key points of a research. They should include a brief introduction on the objectives of the work presented, description of the methodology and major research outcomes. Extended abstracts may also include diagrams, graphs, charts and photos. They will be eligible for oral presentation and will be included in the proceedings marked as extended abstracts. Recommended length for extended abstracts is 2 – 3 pages in A4 format including figures, photographs, tables, references etc.
Review Process – All manuscripts will be subjected to peer-review. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, practical or theoretic impact, and clarity. Review occurs during a fixed window of time of 2 months. All authors will be notified of the decision on their paper within the specified timeframe. Authors may receive one of three possible decisions:
1. Accepted manuscripts will be published in the conference proceedings provided that the corresponding author has been registered to the conference by May 20 2021. The corresponding (registered) author is not necessarily the first author.
2. There is a limit of 2 (two) papers per registered corresponding author.
3. Accepted papers will be presented either orally or in poster format. Oral presentations will be allocated to the highest-ranking manuscripts.
4. New: The publication fee of 100 € has now been waived. The publication fee was supposed to be charged at the time of full manuscript (full paper or extended abstract) submission, and deduced from the registration fee, in case of acceptance. Corresponding authors of accepted abstracts will not pay any fees at the time of full manuscript submission. In case of acceptance, the corresponding author will have to fully register to the conference for the paper to be presented in the conference and included in the proceedings (see also point 1).
The Abstract Submission Deadline for ICONHIC General Sessions (GSs) is now due. We are still accepting abstracts for open Special Sessions (SSs).
Please check the Special Sessions here and look for their Abstract Submission Deadline to discover which ones are still open.
To submit to ICONHIC2021 please use the link provided below. Acknowledgment of submission will be sent to the e-mail address provided by the submitting author. In case you don’t receive the confirmation email, feel free to contact us at secretary@iconhic.com
Authors of accepted abstracts may submit their Full Manuscript (Full Paper or Extended Abstract) to the Conference Proceedings using the link provided below. Authors will be asked to create an account at eventora.com, fill in some personal details and information about their manuscript, and finalize their submission.
Authors will need to provide their Paper ID (same as Abstract ID), which was shared with them upon abstract acceptance via an email entitled ‘Notification of Abstract Acceptance’. Authors who cannot find such email are prompted to contact us and we will help them recover it.
Please note that Extended Abstracts should be submitted here, and not in the ‘Abstract Submissions’ above. Extended Abstracts are considered Full Manuscripts, and are, thus, included in the Conference Proceedings.
A step-by-step guide on how authors can submit their Full Manuscript, as well as register for the conference, can be found here.
The Full Paper template (.docx) can be downloaded here. The Extended Abstract template (.docx) can be downloaded here. The Full Manuscript shall be eventually submitted to the conference in both .pdf and .docx (or .doc) format.
In case you have any questions, feel free to contact us at secretary@iconhic.com.
Authorship of the paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, interpretation and presentation of the reported study. All authors should be acknowledged accurately and clearly.
Originality of the paper: The submitted material should be original, prepared to a high scholarly standard and fully referenced using the prescribed referencing system.
Data Quality and access: All data presented should be acquired in accordance with recognised ethical research practices. Authors should be ready to provide access to their raw data if requested by the Editor.
Fundamental errors in published works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in the published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the Conference editor and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.
