Authors' Benefits:

By publishing your best works in ICSES journals and books, as an author, the following distinguishing advantages can be achieved for you:

• Free-of-Charge Publication: If you adhere to the ICSES authors submission guidelines e.g. to avoid extra pages charge, your publication is completely free.
• Open-Access Basis: Till 2020, all the ICSES conferences and journals papers as well as book chapters are published in open-access manner, which is a special opportunity for authors to increase the visibility of their publications, and let them to be seen and cited by the related community.
• Indexing and Abstracting: Currently, the ICSES journals and books are indexed in a large number of academic and scientific databases e.g. GoogleScholar, CrossRef, Copernicus and so on essential to increase the visibility of the publications. Happy to mention that our ITCNC and ITIPPR are currently under the evaluation of SCOPUS and Ei Compendex, and we have a high expectation to have them indexed in the 2018 SCOPUS and Compendex lists.
• High-Quality Publication: The ICSES steering committee and editorial boards are working hard to keep the publications quality, and only high-quality articles have chance to be accepted.
