What is Physics Procedia?
Launched in January 2008, Physics Procedia is an e-only and open access product focusing entirely
on publishing conference proceedings. Physics Procedia enables fast dissemination so conference delegates can publish their papers in
a dedicated online issue on  Sciverse ScienceDirect, which is then
made freely available worldwide.
Physics Procedia will cover proceedings in all topics in Physics with the exception of high energy
physics, as our journal Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements http://www.elsevier.com/locate/npbps is the primary
outlet for proceedings in this area.
How are conferences evaluated for inclusion in Physics Procedia?
Conference proceedings
are accepted for publication in Physics Procedia based on suitability of scope and are required to meet certain criteria, including the
assurance that all papers are original, will be subject to peer review and will not be published elsewhere. Elsevier will evaluate all
proposals on the basis of key information related to the conference provided by the organisers, for example, the conference website,
programme, supporting organisation and contact details of the committee and keynote speakers. Elsevier may make contact with members
of the committee and keynote speakers to obtain further information about the conference during the evaluation process.

What does Physics Procedia offer authors and conferences organizers?
Physics Procedia offers a single, highly recognized
platform where conference papers can be hosted and accessed by millions of researchers. Authors then know where to go to keep abreast
of the latest developments in their field. All proceedings appear online, on Sciverse Science Direct, within 8 weeks of acceptance of
the final manuscripts via the conference organizer and are freely available to all users. Physics Procedia offers authors and conference
organizers a fast and cost effective way to provide maximum exposure for their papers.
Templates (both Latex and Word) are provided
to assist in the publication and the final online papers contain linked references, XML versions and DOI numbers. All papers published
in Physics Procedia are also be covered by Scopus
Why should conference
organizers choose Physics Procedia?
Unlike regular journals, there is no limit to the amount of papers a Physics Procedia issue
can contain and pricing is affordable, clear and transparent. Physics Procedia offers immediate access for all, with papers online within
8 weeks of acceptance, and open access providing maximum exposure for individual papers and the related conference. Organizers are being
credited on the actual issue and are fully responsible for quality control, the review process and the content of individual conference
papers.
What are the costs associated with Physics Procedia?
There is an agreed fee, based on the size of the proceedings,
which includes online publication on Sciverse ScienceDirect and free
access after acceptance. The agreement must hold an estimated number of submissions. And beyond the agreed number an extra cost is levied.
In addition to the online version there is the possibility to purchase paper copies, CD-ROMs and USB sticks. Moreover, interactive
media possibilities such as webcasts and web seminars can be acquired for extra exposure both before and after the conference.
Can
Physics Procedia be sponsored?
We are open to discussing sponsoring possibilities at all times. Sponsors can include funding
bodies, government agencies and/or industry. Benefits to sponsors include visibility amongst a scientific audience and the opportunity
to communicate messages via a peer-reviewed platform. Benefits to authors and conference organizers are the further dissemination of
material to an international audience and reduced costs to the overall conference budget.
