High Quality Journal Forum

The High Quality Journal Forum provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present the objectives and outcomes of the accepted/published papers in any approved SCI Q1 journals or approved A-grade at the main conference of IoTBDS, COMPLEXIS and CLOSER 2018.
Participants are invited to prepare a 15 minute oral/poster presentation of their journal paper at a special session. The goal of this forum (minimum 4 participants; maximum 8) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics, provide a framework to editors discuss future directions for the accepted/published papers, to network with other researchers potentially interested in submitting a paper to these journals and increase the visibility and citations. Registration to IoTBDS, COMPLEXIS and CLOSER 2018 conferences allows free access to the High Quality Journal Forum (as a non-speaker).
