Many conference organizers have chosen to publish with an IOP Conference Series title purely because they wish to create a comprehensive and inclusive record of their event: reflecting the breadth and depth of the work presented and all freely accessible in a single published location. IOP Conference Series titles can publish proceedings containing every type of paper, from poster to plenary from the smallest workshop to the largest international event.
Proceedings as a service to your community
Every conference is a unique snapshot of the research in a particular field at a particular point in time, representing current views, opinions, ideas and debate. Capturing this by publishing an open access proceedings with the IOP Conference Series records the uniqueness of each event, creating a lasting archive and a research resource which will be of long-term benefit to people working in the field. Those who could not attend the conference, or did not know of its existence, will get to know about it through its publication, helping to attract new participants and so contributing to the long-term growth and success of future events.
Identical solutions and cost from all titles
The services, solutions and publication costs are identical across all titles in the IOP Conference Series. They differ only in the subject matter and scope of the proceedings they publish and the abstracting and indexing databases in which each one is listed. For some highly interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary events organizers are free to suggest which one of the IOP Conference Series titles is most suitable for their proceedings: the cost of publication will not be affected by the final choice.
