PHYSICS PROCEDIA
Physics Procedia
Description
What is Physics Procedia?
Launched in January 2008, Physics Procedia is an e-only product focussed entirely on publishing high quality conference proceedings. Physics Procedia enables fast dissemination so conference delegates can publish their papers in a dedicated online issue on ScienceDirect, which will then be made freely available worldwide.

Conference proceedings will be accepted for publication in Physics Procedia based on suitability and will be required to meet certain criteria, including relevance to an international audience and covering highly cited or timely topics.

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 will know where to go to keep abreast of the latest developments in their field. All proceedings will appear online, on Science Direct, within 6 weeks of acceptance of the final manuscripts via the conference organizer and will then be freely available to all users. Physics Procedia will offer authors and conference organizers a fast and cost effective way to provide maximum exposure for their papers.

Templates (both Latex and Word) will be provided to assist in the publication and the final online papers will contain linked references, XML versions and DOI numbers. All papers published in Physics Procedia will also be covered by Scopus

Why should conference organizers choose Physics Procedia?
Unlike regular journals, there will be no limit to the amount of papers a Physics Procedia issue can contain and pricing will be affordable, clear and transparent. Physics Procedia will offer immediate access for all, with papers online within 6 weeks of acceptance, and free access provides maximum exposure for individual papers and the related conference. Organizers will be credited on the actual issue and will be fully responsible for quality control, the review process and the content of individual conference papers.

What is the process for submitting conference proceedings to Physics Procedia?
Proposals, including a synopsis of why such a Physics Procedia issue will have an impact on its community, a list of agreed contributors and an outline of the related conference (including a link to the conference website) should be sent to:

What are the costs associated with Physics Procedia?
There will be an agreed fee, based on the size of the proceedings, which will include online publication on ScienceDirect and free access after acceptance. In addition to the online version there will be 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.
