Acceptance and review process, conference proceedings (ISBN), journal (ISSN), DOIs, online papers & presentations

The submitted extended abstracts are evaluated and reviewed for acceptance.

The works presented at the conference are differentiated into four groups: reviewed full papers, accepted abstracts/papers (with or without paper, not reviewed), invited talks (with or without abstract/paper), technical presentations (with or without abstract/paper).

Authors of accepted abstracts, wishing to have their works published in the 3DBODY.TECH Journal, should submit full papers following the given guidelines.

All submitted technical/scientific papers are reviewed by at least two members of the technical/scientific committee.

Upon request, full papers can also be submitted for the solely publication on the proceedings, without the full review process.

All accepted papers, abstracts, presentations must be presented onsite personally by one of the authors (online remote presentations is not possible). Reduced registration fees are available for presenters/speakers: registration.

All works presented at 3DBODY.TECH Conference & Expo - all submitted and reviewed papers, all accepted abstracts/papers and all presentations - will be included in the 3DBODY.TECH Proceedings with ISBN number (available in digital form).

The papers, abstracts and recorded presentations will also be available at the 3DBODY.TECH Proceedings website proc.3dbody.tech, which features over 900 pages, over 750 PDFs, about 400 videos/recordings (from 2020) and a dedicated search tool.

All reviewed papers, will be additionally published as journal papers, with DOI, in 3DBODY.TECH Journal - Journal of 3D Body Technologies, ISSN 3042-576X, Open Access, Online. Further details are available at the journal website jrnl.3dbody.tech.

Guidelines for full paper/manuscript preparation and submission

All full papers and written submissions for inclusion in 3DBODY.TECH Proceedings and 3DBODY.TECH Journal must follow the guidelines provided by the template document:

Guidelines for oral and poster presentations

It is required that at least one of the authors registers and presents the work personally onsite at the conference.

All technical/scientific presentation will be held by onsite speakers during technical sessions in conference rooms at the convention center, live streamed on the event platform/app and recorded for later view.

Each presentation will be followed with a discussion with the audience. Both onsite and online participants will be able to see live the presentations and participate at the discussions.

Online remote presentations will not be possible.

Oral presentations

Oral presentation should be approx. 18 minutes long. This will allow additional 4 minutes for questions and discussion with the audience. Note: less or additional time may be available depending on the session.

Windows Laptops with MS Powerpoint will be available in the conference rooms. Please bring backups of your presentation on USB flash drive. The speakers may also bring and use their own laptop to avoid compatibility problems (e.g. different versions of Powerpoint, linked files, videos, etc.).

LCD projectors in the conference rooms have HDMI connection and 16:9 display mode.

Important note for laptops and tablets: please bring the necessary adapters in order to connect your device with projectors featuring HDMI plug.

Please note that electricity in Switzerland operates on 220-240 Volts AC 50HZ and that Swiss 3-poles electric plugs are different from European-style plugs (European 2-poles electric plugs are compatible). Please bring with you the necessary adapters.
