Fast-Track Journal Paper Submission
- According to the FAIM Charter, a maximum of five co-authorship submissions are allowed per author.
- Every paper has to be presented by one of its authors and no more than 2 papers can be presented by the same person.
- Authors submitting full-length manuscripts for potential Fast-Track publication must clearly indicate the journal they wish to be considered for:
- Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (Elsevier)
- International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (Springer)
- The fast-track journal paper should follow the format required by the selected journal. Authors can skip the 8-page paper submission. However, if the full paper is not approved through the peer-review process, authors will be invited to submit a shorter version for inclusion in Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering (LNME).
All accepted paper presenters are requested to use the official conference presentation template.
