Submissions should be submitted by the authors online by registering at https://ecrs2023.sciforum.net/, and using the “Submit Abstract” function once logged into the system.
- Scholars interested in participating with the conference can submit their abstract (about 250–500 words covering the areas of manuscripts for the proceedings issue) online at this website up to 17 August 2023.
- The Conference Committee will conduct a pre-evaluation, based on the submitted abstract, of whether the contribution from the authors of the abstract will be welcome for the 5th International Electronic Conference on Remote Sensing. All authors will be notified by 31 August 2023 about the acceptance of their abstract.
- If the abstract is accepted for this conference, the author is optional to submit a short proceeding paper (3-6 pages), a poster, a slides presentation (in PDF), or a short video presentation (max. 3–5 minutes), up to the submission deadline of 26 September 2023.
- The conference proceedings papers and presentations will be available at https://ecrs2023.sciforum.net/ for discussion during the time of the conference, 7-21 November 2023.
- All submissions will be reviewed using the powerful text comparison tool iThenticate. This procedure aims to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism. Submissions will then be peer-reviewed by conference committees based on originality/novelty, quality of presentation, scientific soundness, interest to the readers, overall merit and English level. After the conference, all submissions will be published on sciforum.net, and only the proceeding paper (3-6 pages) will be published in the MDPI Environmental Sciences Proceedings journal ( ISSN: 2673-4931).
Note: Publication of proceedings paper is free of charge.
Before publication, Environmental Sciences Proceedings journal will check the plagiarism issue again. Submissions with a lack of novelty will not be published in the journal. - The open access journal Remote Sensing (Impact Factor 5.349) will publish a dedicated conference Special Issue. Conference participants are encouraged to submit a full paper to the dedicated Special Issue and will receive a 20% discount on the Article Processing Charges (APC).
Note: The submission to the Remote Sensing journal is independent of the conference proceedings and will follow the usual process of the journal, including peer-review, APC, etc.

Copyright
MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe that authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting a Communication paper to this conference, you retain the copyright of your paper, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this paper online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your paper to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher (if required by that publisher).
