Peer
Reviewed –
Scopus
Indexed

We are proud that the ICONHIC proceedings are indexed by Scopus — a globally recognized marker of research quality and editorial integrity.

We take this responsibility seriously. All submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review and editorial process, guided by internationally recognized ethical standards. We understand how important this is to researchers, and we are committed to maintaining the level of excellence that makes academic contributions to ICONHIC both credible and citable.

For full details on our editorial principles and review process, see our Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement (PDF).

Manuscript Submission

Following the submission and conditional acceptance of an abstract, authors will be invited to submit their full contribution to the conference.

You may choose between the following submission formats:

  • Full Paper
    A complete manuscript suitable for formal publication and indexing.
  • Extended Abstract
    A concise version of a full paper that outlines the scope, approach, innovation, and key outcomes. This option is designed to reduce the writing burden while maintaining clarity and quality.
    Please note: Extended Abstracts will not be forwarded for Scopus indexing.

All accepted contributions—whether Full Papers or Extended Abstracts—will be included in the official Conference Proceedings, which will be distributed digitally to all participants. Authors of either format will be eligible for oral presentation at the conference. Templates and formatting guidelines will be made available shortly.
