GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

Dear colleagues and friends,

Welcome to the “Innovations in Energy and Environment – InnoEE 2023”, paper submission platform!

This is the 28th international scientific conference of the Faculty of Power Engineering and Power Machines at the Technical University of Sofia. For second year, we are happy to announce our collaboration with our publisher – IOP! The accepted papers from this year’s conference will be published in IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. The publisher will further submit the conference proceedings for evaluation, to be indexed in SCOPUS and Clarivate Analytics Conference Proceedings Citation Index – CPCI (ISI Web of Science).

The Morressier platform was selected by the IOP Conference Series, to manage and speed up the paper’s publication process. Only papers submitted through this platform will be reviewed and further processed. Papers sent by e-mail will not be accepted.

Each author can register and submit a maximum of 2 (two) papers – only 1 (one) as a single author. For the first paper, the author should pay the corresponding full registration fee, while for the second paper the charge is 100 Euro. For each accepted paper for presentation, at least 1 (one) author must register for InnoEE 2023 Conference and pay the corresponding fee. Conference papers will not be sent to the publisher or scheduled for presentation, unless the appropriate fee is paid.
