Submission fees will be waived for these invited conference papers. Papers of the author(s) accepting this invitation will undergo a normal review process that maintains the JFSR’s high-quality publication standards.
- If an invited paper is subsequently rejected, its author(s) will have the option to submit a future version of their paper to the JFSR without prejudice.
- While under consideration by the Conference and the JFRS, a paper may not be submitted to another journal (or the JFSR) until the author(s) has been notified of the outcome.
