Papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in Information Research – a peer-reviewed international electronic journal.
The condition of submitting to the conference is that the text has to be original and not published elsewhere. Information Research is applying Creative Common licence and is entirely open access in all possible senses. However, the papers should not be published by the authors in institutional repositories and elsewhere before being published in Information Research. The author may publish an abstract, but not the whole paper. Only after the journal publishes original articles it is allowed to re-use the paper with no restrictions.
Posters and Doctoral Workshop papers will not be published as a part of the ISIC2018 Conference proceedings in Information Research, but we intend to make them publicly available in electronic format.
Please, follow the ISIC 2018 Author Guidelines to prepare your paper in a proper style and format.
