Instructions for Author and Submission Guidelines
The whole process of organising the 19th Romanian Textiles and Leather Conference – CORTEP’2024 involves various stages concerning registration, abstract submission, paper submission, acceptance of papers for the conference and acceptance of papers for publication.
Authors should be aware of the following main phases:
- Registration and Abstract submission
To register and upload the abstract for CORTEP’2024, please fill in the Registration form.
You can download the template for the abstract from the Templates section and send it by email to cortep@groups.tuiasi.ro.
The conference organiser will notify the corresponding author of the acceptance of his/her abstract by email (from cortep@groups.tuiasi.ro).
Authors whose abstracts have been accepted can prepare their papers for the 2024 CORTEP conference.
2. Paper submission
From this point on, authors need to know that online submission of papers, peer review and the entire production process will be ensured via the Editorial Manager® for Proceedings provided by Sciendo and operated by the organisers’ editorial team.
The Paper template can be downloaded from the Templates and will be uploaded via Editorial Manager® for Proceedings to go through the review process.
When the corresponding authors log in to the editorial system, they also have access to the EM Instructions for Authors button, which enables a Tutorial for Authors to facilitate the use of the platform.
Other important aspects:
– The title, authors, abstract, keywords and topic should be identical to those of the accepted abstract.
– The camera-ready article must be written in English, follow the formatting of the full paper template and be submitted in Microsoft Word for Windows format.
– Articles that do not comply with the guidelines will be rejected without review!
3. Paper acceptance for conference
All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed for their scientific merit and originality.
After peer review, authors receive the reviewers’ decisions on Editorial Manager®from the managing editors: acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection.
In case of minor/major revision, the reviewers’ reports are accessible to the authors (in their Editorial Manager® account), and they must modify their articles in the light of the comments received.
Correction of articles and their resubmission in revised form must be done within the deadline set by the editors to resume the review process.
The managing editors will notify contact authors by email whether the paper has been accepted for the conference.
On the conference website, authors will have access to the conference programme, the guidelines for accessing the conference sessions (CORTEP’2024 will be a hybrid event combining live on-site presentations and virtual online presentations and participation) where they can present their work, and the book containing the abstracts of their contributions to the conference.
After the conference, a certificate will be provided to the presenter by the section chair in the case of on-site presentations, or electronically by the conference organisers in the case of online presentations.
4. Paper acceptance for publication
Shortly after the conference, the language editor’s report will be prepared and provided to the corresponding author on the Editorial Manager®account as a final review regarding the improper use of the English language. If English is not the authors’ first language, they should ensure that the paper is proofread by a professional or a native speaker. The editorial team will set a deadline for authors to resubmit final papers revised according to the publication guidelines. Accepted manuscripts will be published as Open Access Proceedings of CORTEP2024 by Sciendo (De Gruyter) with ISBN and DOI numbers for the conference papers and proceedings after Sciendo Publishing announces the final decision.
