Please beware of invitations for publishing from journals not related to the conference! Official invitation will be distributed only from the sdewes conference email, and will have a conference header and an option to accept or decline the invitation.
For all attendees who have submitted a full paper which is included in the proceedings, please cite it as follows:
N1. Surname1, N2. Surname2, other authors, Title, Proceedings of the 9th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, SDEWES2014.nnnn, 1-m (2014)
(where "nnnn" is your submission code and "m" is the page count of your submission)
If you attended the conference, make sure you log in into the conference system and fill our post-conference survey.
Types of papers sought
The papers must report original, previously unpublished findings in the fields of sustainable development of energy, transport, water, food and environment systems. All papers will be reviewed under the direction of the International Scientific Committee by the Scientific Advisory Board. The abstracts and papers must be written in English. The papers with archival value (archival papers), meaning those that contribute significantly to the state of the art and report final results of research, with proper literature review, will be thoroughly reviewed and will be candidates for publication consideration in special issues of several archival journals. The papers that report work in progress, conventional projects without much contribution to the state of the art, and those lacking a thorough literature review, are invited as conference papers, and will receive less stringent review. Authors are invited to offer suggestion on classification of their papers as "archival" or "conference", when submitting them.
Authors (corresponding author) willing to present a paper should submit an abstract in English, between 1500-2500 characters long.
Abstract preparation and submission instructions:
An abstract is an extremely important part of the paper because it summarizes the entire paper; it is the public's window to your work and must allow the reviewers to make an intelligent decision about its acceptance. Its typical composition should be:
- Motivation for the paper
- Objectives
- What was done
- How it was done and validated
- Major results
- Conclusions
In writing the abstract, be quantitative, write it clearly and in good English, and do not exceed the imposed 1500-2500 characters length limit because accepted abstracts will be published in the proceedings, one page per abstract.
The abstracts, which will be reviewed by International Scientific Committee, can only be submitted online:
References
We believe that it would be very useful if the authors thoroughly reviewed the papers that have already been published in partner journals in special issues dedicated to the SDEWES conference series. Such an effort would not only improve the quality of your manuscript, but also promote the awareness of the available information resources that exist in the structure of the SDEWES conference series. Please use the online databases for the literature review: http://www.sdewes.org/journals.php.
