Submission guidelines
All papers must be prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Authors at:
https://www.springer.com/journal/40866/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab). Authors should submit online via the submission site (this opens in a new tab) and select article type "SI - Emerging Control & Communication Trends for More Smartness in Microgrids".
Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the Special Issue. All papers will be evaluated on the basis of relevance, significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation by at least two reviewers. It is the policy of the journal that no submission, or substantially overlapping submission, be published or be under review at another journal or conference at any time during the review process.
Please note that the authors of selected papers presented at CISTEM 2022 are invited to submit an extended version of their contributions by taking into consideration both the reviewers’ comments on their conference paper, and the feedback received during presentation at the conference. It is worth clarifying that the extended version is expected to contain a substantial scientific contribution, e.g., in the form of new algorithms, experiments or qualitative/quantitative comparisons, and that neither verbatim transfer of large parts of the conference paper nor reproduction of already published figures will be tolerated. The extended versions of CISTEM 2022 papers will undergo the standard, rigorous journal review process and be accepted only if well-suited to the topic of this Special Issue and meeting the scientific level of the journal. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editors-in-Chief.
Submission deadline: 20 November 2023
