Conference support

LiU E-press offer support for you as a conference organizer. We can give you access to a web-based system for managing conference submissions. We also publish your conference proceedings or book of abstracts in one of our conference series.

Web-based conference submission system

As a conference organizer, you can get access to our web-based system for managing conference submisssions such as abstracts or conference papers. If you want to send your conference papers on peer-review, this can also be done in the system. We use an own instance of Open Journal Systems (OJS). It is also here the proceeding is published.

We advise you to also create a conference website at liu.se. Unfortunately, we cannot offer registration forms or modules for payment. Please contact the communication office for advice.

We can offer you to perform plagiarism checks on the papers with Similarity Check.

Publish conference proceedings

LiU E-press publishes conference proceedings or book of abstracts in one of our conference series. The publication is free of charge for both editors and authors and all papers will be published under Open Access. It is requred that the conference is connected to LiU, for example: that one of the organizers or editors are employed by LiU.

Our two conference series are:

Printed and/or digital version

In discussion with the organizers we will make an agreement when the material will be made available. Either on the first day of the conference or on another date after the conference which we agree on.
