Author’s Guide

Overview

Welcome to the ICWES20 Author’s Guide portal. To ensure a high-quality program and to support the publication goals of our presenters, we offer two submission tracks: Oral Presentations and Poster Presentations.

1. Full Paper Submissions (Oral Presentations)

Authors selected for Oral Presentations are encouraged to submit a full paper.

  • Publication Strategy: To avoid “dual publication” issues, ICWES20 will only publish Extended Abstracts in the official Conference eProceedings. This allows authors to remain eligible for submission to scholarly journals.

  • Journal Partner: We are pleased to announce that selected high-quality full papers will be recommended for peer review and potential publication in the Philippine Journal of Science (PJS).
  • Formatting: Full papers must strictly adhere to the PJS style.
