SYMPOSIA AND SPECIAL SESSIONS A number of thematic Symposia will be organised under the auspices of the IRF2020 conference. Individuals interested in promoting such a Symposium should contact the conference chairs about their intention, as soon as possible. A template for proposals can be obtained from: https://paginas.fe.up.pt/~irf/IRF2020/symposia/irf2020_symposium_sample.docx Some Symposia have already been proposed: Please see also: Main Topics & Forum on Publishing Practices. |

OPEN FORUM ON Overcoming Unethical Publishing Practices The conference will also include an Open Forum on "Overcoming Unethical Publishing Practices", where an expert panel with over 100 years of collective and active research and education experience will address the obligations of publishers and authors with ethical practices in publishing their work. Please see also: Main Topics & Symposia. |
Unethical or suspicious publishing (sometimes known as predatory) is an opportunistic publishing technique that exploits the academic need to publish but offers little reward to those who use their services. The academic "publish or perish" scenario combined with the relative ease of website creation has inadvertently created a market ripe for the exploitation of academic authors. Some publishers are unethical on purpose, while others may make mistakes due to neglect, mismanagement, or inexperience. In this forum, the following aspects will be addressed: - multiple submission - plagiarism - authorship issues - conflicts of interest - duplicate publication and salami slicing All delegates are invited to participate in this forum |
