Dear colleagues,

The submission of extended abstracts (up to 4 pages) for the AIP Proceedings of IRS 2022 is now open until 30 October 2022.

We would like to see as many papers as possible appear in the Proceedings, which will provide an Open Access, citable location with a DOI number for your research. Citations to AIP Conference Proceedings articles are covered by the Web of Science. Note that the IRS 2022 extended abstracts will be published in the AIP Proceedings at no cost to the authors.

The papers must be formatted using the standard template that can be Downloaded (http://aip.scitation.org/apc/authors/preppapers) together with formatting guidelines from the AIP website:

Before submitting the final manuscript, please make sure that the PDF file meets the requirements in the checklist which is included in the downloaded material.

As soon as you are ready, login to Easy Chair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=irs2022) as “author” and replace the abstract’s PDF that you have initially submitted for IRS 2022 with your paper’s PDF.by selecting “update file” from the menu in the upper right corner.

Papers that were listed in the IRS 2022 Programme but were not presented due to absent authors are not eligible for inclusion in the Proceedings. This applies to both oral and poster presentations.

The IRS Proceedings are peer reviewed. Each paper will be reviewed by the relevant session conveners or external reviewers advised by the session conveners, following the AIP guidelines. Once the paper passes the review and its format is approval by the Editors (Alkis Bais, Peter Pilewskie and Manfred Wendisch), the author will be notified of acceptance.

To be included in the Proceedings, the paper must be accompanied by a Copyright Transfer Agreement [the form is in the downloaded template folder] which must be submitted to proceedings@irs2022.org no later than 15 January 2023.

The Editors will further assist in the case of difficulties.

Should you have any questions regarding the submission please do not hesitate to reach out for assistance at: proceedings@irs2022.org

Kind Regards,

The Organizing Committee of IRS 2022
