Abstract Review and Acceptance
Abstracts will be peer reviewed by at least three independent and internationally diverse reviewers of the ICSSC Technical Committee which reserves the right to accept or reject any submitted abstract. The ICSSC Technical Program Chair will then assign the accepted abstracts to the conference technical sessions.
Notification of acceptance
Notification will be sent by e-mail only to the lead author on or before July 10, 2023.
The lead Authors, whose abstracts have been accepted, must confirm their willingness to submit and present their paper(s) by July 25, 2023.
Failure to confirm in a timely fashion may result in the paper being withdrawn or replaced with a stand-by paper.
Once the abstract submission deadline passes, authors are no longer allowed to submit new abstracts or modify previous submissions or any other submission details. Please carefully proof your submission before the deadline.
If an abstract is accepted, the author, designated as the lead author, will be the only author with access to upload the final manuscript.
Final manuscripts showing substantial modifications in title, content or co-authors and affiliations with respect to the accepted abstracts will not be included in the conference final program nor accepted for podium presentation. The lead author will be notified of such exclusion.
