The following notes provide a summary of the UI Proceedings Series publishing process.
- Contact us directly with details of the conference.
- The UI Proceedings Series team will review the details of your conference and write to confirm if we can offer a proceedings publishing contract. After any further discussion, we will send you a draft of publishing agreement that will contain all the details and terms of publication.
- The organizers must inform authors about the UI Proceedings Series License.
- Authors submit their papers to the conference organizers who manage the peer review. Once review of the papers is completed, the conference organizers submit the final papers to UI Proceedings Series in one batch. Papers submitted to us must be in PDF format and must be in their final form, ready for publication (as we do not edit or proofread the papers after they are submitted to us). Please ensure that all changes have been approved by authors prior to the PDFs being submitted to DRPM Publishing.
- Papers should be submitted to us using the account details recorded in the publishing agreement.
- Production and publication. We will process the PDFs into a suitable format for publication and upload them to our pre-publication servers. The communicating editor will be sent a username and password to access that server in order to make a final check of the proceedings before they go online. Please note the following important points:
- Once a paper has been published online, changes will only be permitted in cases of serious scientific error. In those cases, an erratum or corrigendum will be published according to the practices of professional scientific publishing.
- Changes resulting from stylistic issues cannot be made to proceedings once they are published, so it is important that authors and organizers ensure papers have been adequately checked and proofed prior to submission.
- Upon publication we will write to authors (who have supplied an e-mail address) informing them of publication and providing them with the URL of their paper.
- Printed copies (if applicable) will be prepared and shipped shortly after the online publication of the articles. The communicating editor will be supplied with proofs of the PDF cover.
