Submissions should be made by the authors online by registering with ecsoc-26.sciforum.net, and using the "Submit Abstract" function once logged into the system.

1. Scholars interested in participating in this conference can submit their communication abstracts (about 200–250 words, not including references) online on this website until 30 September 2022. Two types of communications will be considered: a) minireviews covering the state of the art of some of the aspects covered by the conference sections; b) preliminary communications of research results (containing Introduction, results and discussion, experimental part and references).

2. Abstracts will be evaluated based on their scientific quality and suitability for the conference sections. All authors will be notified by 8 October 2022 regarding the acceptance of their abstract for the 26th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry.

3. Once the abstract has been accepted, the author is requested to send the full communication manuscript, and optionally, a PowerPoint presentation (PDF only) and/or video of their work, until the submission deadline 23 October 2022. You can submit the full paper by accessing My Submission. The text in the abstract must match that presented in the full communication. Those abstracts that are not completed with a full communication will be withdrawn by the editors. PowerPoint presentations or videos are complements to the full communication and cannot be presented as a substitute for it.
   Note: The submitted full manuscript will be checked by using the powerful text comparison tool: iThenticate. This procedure aims to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism. Please kindly ensure that the proceeding paper you submit is original and unpublished.
   

4. The conference proceedings papers and presentations will be available on https://ecsoc-26.sciforum.net for discussion and will be published in the Chemistry Proceedings journal. Once the conference is over, a CD-ROM (ISBN 978-3-0365-3286-8) will be published with the contents of the conference, and it will be available upon request (organic@usc.es) for EUR 75 each.
   

5. Participants of this conference are cordially invited to contribute a full manuscript to our Special Issue "ECSOC-26" in the journal Molecules (the submission to the journal is independent of the conference proceedings and will follow the usual process of the journal, including peer-review, APC, etc.). Papers presented at the conference will be granted a 20% discount in the Special Issue.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could inappropriately influence or bias their work. This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript.

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).
