Submission

Paper Submission Reminder

All full papers accepted will be published as Open Access under CC-BY in a Scopus indexed journal suggested by the publisher Transtech Publications, depending on their topic, namely:

Key Engineering Materials
Materials Science Forum
Defect & Diffusion Forum
Solid State Phenomena

In addition, the collection of accepted papers will be published as a ESAFORM2026 Proceedings book. This will be submitted to Clarivate for evaluation in order to be included in Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI).
