Description:
What is Food Science Procedia?
Launched in November 2011, Food Science Procedia is an e-only product focussed entirely on publishing
high quality conference proceedings. Food Science Procedia enables fast dissemination so conference delegates can publish their papers
in a dedicated online issue on ScienceDirect, which will then be made freely available worldwide. Conference proceedings will be accepted
for publication in Food Science Procedia based on suitability and will be required to meet certain criteria, including relevance to an
international audience and covering highly cited or timely topics.
What does Food Science Procedia offer authors and conferences
organizers? Food Science Procedia offers a single, highly recognized platform where conference papers can be hosted and accessed by millions
of researchers. Authors will know where to go to keep abreast of the latest developments in their field. All proceedings will appear
online, on Science Direct, within 6 weeks of acceptance of the final manuscripts via the conference organizer and will then be freely
available to all users. Food Science Procedia offers authors and conference organizers a fast and cost effective way to provide maximum
exposure for their papers. Templates (both Latex and Word) will be provided to assist in the publication and the final online papers
will contain linked references, XML versions and DOI numbers. All papers published in Food Science Procedia will also be covered by Scopus.
Why should conference organizers choose Food Science Procedia?
Unlike regular journals, there will be no limit to the amount
of papers a Food Science Procedia issue can contain and pricing will be affordable, clear and transparent. Food Science Procedia will
offer immediate access for all, with papers online within 6 weeks of acceptance, and free access provides maximum exposure for individual
papers and the related conference. Organizers will be credited on the actual issue and will be fully responsible for quality control,
the review process and the content of individual conference papers.
What is the process for submitting conference proceedings to
Food Science Procedia? Proposals, including a synopsis of why such an Food Science Procedia issue will have an impact on its community,
a list of agreed contributors and an outline of the related conference (including a link to the conference website) should be sent to:
Wendy Hurp (Executive Publisher)
w.hurp@elsevier.com.
There will be an agreed fee, based on the size of the proceedings,
which will include online publication on ScienceDirect and free access after acceptance. In addition to the online version there will
be the possibility to purchase paper copies, CD-ROMs and USB sticks. Moreover, interactive media possibilities such as webcasts and web
seminars can be acquired for extra exposure both before and after the conference.
Can Food Science Procedia be sponsored? We are
open to discussing sponsoring possibilities at all times. Sponsors can include funding bodies, government agencies and/or industry. Benefits
to sponsors include visibility amongst a scientific audience and the opportunity to communicate messages via a peer-reviewed platform.
Benefits to authors and conference organizers are the further dissemination of material to an international audience and reduced costs
to the overall conference budget.
