Publication of Proceedings

Authors of Conference presentations will be encouraged, but not required, to submit full papers for publication in the Proceedings. This allows scientists to present at Conference their most important results, without prejudice to later publication in high impact journals; or to present preliminary results and speculations which are not yet ready for full publication, but can add to informed discussion and cross-fertilisation at the Conference itself. Where Conference presentations do not lead to a full paper in the Proceedings, authors of oral or poster presentations will be required to prepare an extended Abstract, to maintain the integrity of the Proceedings as a record of the Conference as a whole.

In contrast to many Conference proceedings, Inhaled Particles proceedings are fully peer-reviewed and include papers based on poster presentations as well as oral presentations. This allows for publication of high quality scientific material over a much greater range than would otherwise be possible; and the timeline for publication is intentionally short to ensure that the Proceedings will be up-to-date when published. The IPX approach also ensures that poster presentations get a good hearing, both at Conference and in the Proceedings, so that the posters themselves form a key part of the core of the Conference.

We propose to publish the fully peer-reviewed proceedings of Inhaled Particles X in an open-access online journal, the Journal of Physics Conference Series (published by IOP), with no printed proceedings, but an electronic copy of papers will be available for conference delegates. Platform and poster presentations will be treated equally in the published proceedings; all papers will be fully digitally cross-referenced to other literature, and accessible via Crossref with the usual abstracting and on-line literature search databases. Submission of abstracts and papers, and all editorial and reviewing work, will be handled on-line using Manuscript Central. Publication will be rapid, no later than January 2009.
