Submission

Submissions should be made by the authors online by registering with ecsoc-27.sciforum.net, and using the "New Submission" function once logged into the system.

Note: Institutional email address is requested especially for the corresponding author. Please submit the abstract with the institutional email address, submissions with the email addresses like gmail.com, 163.com, hotmail.com, qq.com etc. will not be reviewed.

Scholars interested in participating in this conference can submit their communication abstracts (about 200–250 words, not including references) online on this website until 1st October 2023. Only the preliminary communications of research results (containing introduction, results and discussion, experimental part and references) will be considered.
Abstracts will be evaluated based on their scientific quality and suitability for the conference sections. All authors will be notified by 6th October 2023 regarding the acceptance of their abstract for the 27th International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry.
Once the abstract has been accepted, the author is requested to submit their manuscript (short proceedings paper, 3–6 pages) before 15th October 2023. Optionally, authors of accepted papers will be able to submit a poster, a slides presentation (in PDF) and/or a short video presentation (max. 3–5 minutes) as supporting material for the paper. 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 Those abstracts that are not completed with full communication will be withdrawn by the editors.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
The conference proceedings papers and presentations will be available on ecsoc-27.sciforum.net for discussion and rating during the time of the conference, from 15–30 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 Chemistry Proceedings journal (ISSN 2673-4583).

Once the conference is over, a CD-ROM (ISBN 978-3-0365-6313-8) will be published with the contents of the conference, and it will be available upon request (organic@usc.es) for EUR 75 each.

Note: Publication of proceedings paper is free of charge.
Before publication, Chemistry Proceedings journal will check the plagiarism issue again. Submissions with a lack of novelty will not be published in the journal.
Participants of this conference are cordially invited to contribute a full manuscript to a dedicated Special Issue in the journal Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, IF 4.927). Papers presented at the conference will be granted a 20% discount in the Special Issue.
Note: 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.

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).
