There is No APC For Research Paper Publication.
SPJ Publication offers Conference/Seminar/CME/Workshop organizers the opportunity to have their proceedings published in our esteemed journals without any Article Processing Charges (APC). This initiative aims to provide a platform for sharing high-quality research and academic discussions that take place during conferences. By partnering with SPJ Publication, conference organizers can ensure that the proceedings of their event are disseminated to a global audience while maintaining the integrity of open-access publishing.
Eligibility and Scope
Organizers looking to publish their proceedings in SPJ Publication should ensure that the event aligns with the journal’s focus and scope. SPJ Publication accepts conference proceedings across various academic fields, including but not limited to, medical sciences, engineering, technology, humanities, and social sciences. The submitted manuscripts must be original and contribute significantly to the body of knowledge in the respective field. In addition, all abstracts or papers presented at the conference should undergo a peer-review process to maintain scholarly standards.
Submission Process
To initiate the publication process, conference organizers must first contact SPJ Publication’s editorial office with the following information:
- The name and details of the conference (date, location, theme).
- The number of papers or abstracts presented at the conference.
- The conference proceedings manuscript, including abstracts, papers, and any supplementary materials.
Once the submission is received, our editorial team will review the provided documents to ensure they meet our publication criteria. If accepted, the papers will be published in the journal that best aligns with the conference’s subject area. Authors of the conference papers will be required to submit their manuscripts through our online submission system, where they will go through the standard peer-review process.
Peer-Review Process
Despite being a special issue or conference proceedings publication, the peer-review process at SPJ Publication remains stringent and impartial. All manuscripts will undergo technical checks and editorial review to ensure compliance with formatting guidelines and academic standards. A minimum of two independent peer reviews will be conducted for each manuscript to assess the quality, originality, and relevance of the research. The final decision for publication will be made by the academic editor, based on the reviews received and the manuscript’s quality.
No APC for Conference Proceedings
One of the key benefits of publishing conference proceedings with SPJ Publication is that there is no Article Processing Charge (APC) for papers accepted for publication. This means that the conference organizers can offer their participants and authors an opportunity to have their work published without the financial burden typically associated with academic publishing. This is in line with SPJ Publication’s commitment to open-access publishing and ensuring that high-quality research remains freely accessible to the global academic community.
Copyright and Open Access
SPJ Publication adheres to a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY), meaning that authors retain the copyright to their work while allowing others to share and reuse the content as long as appropriate attribution is provided. This open-access model ensures that the conference proceedings are freely available to readers worldwide, promoting visibility and impact. All papers published in the proceedings will be indexed in leading academic databases, increasing the likelihood of citations and further academic recognition.
Editorial and Formatting Guidelines
Before submitting the conference papers, authors are required to follow the detailed manuscript formatting guidelines provided by SPJ Publication. These include specific instructions for:
- Title Page: The title of the paper, names of authors, institutional affiliations, and corresponding author contact information.
- Abstract: A concise summary of the paper, typically between 150-250 words.
- Main Body: The body of the paper, including sections such as introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion.
- References: A complete list of references formatted according to the citation style required by SPJ Publication.
All authors are expected to submit their papers in Microsoft Word format, adhering to these formatting guidelines to ensure consistency across the proceedings.
Timeline for Publication
Once the conference papers are submitted and reviewed, SPJ Publication strives for a quick turnaround time. Most papers, if no major revisions are needed, are published within 3-5 weeks of submission. This allows conference organizers to disseminate the research promptly and ensures that the proceedings are made available to the academic community in a timely manner.
Post-Publication Services
After publication, SPJ Publication provides digital preservation and long-term accessibility for all papers published in the conference proceedings. The proceedings are archived in CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), ensuring their availability for years to come. Additionally, SPJ Publication ensures that each article receives a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), making it easily accessible and traceable in academic databases.
