IAHR publishing tradition: Since 1938 supporting influential knowledge products

An important function of any large international organisation is to disseminate the best elements of its discipline through learned works, specialised research publications and state of the art reviews. Traditionally, Proceedings has been the most popular media for researchers to reference and review the newest research in a specific area. 

IAHR is particularly well-served in this regard by its tradition of publishing conference proceedings: from the traditional print copies to the nowadays online products. 

IAHR offers a perfect match with the organizers of the event based on the knowledge of the publishing strategies and the context of the event. IAHR provides advice and support to get the proceedings indexed, including the ISBN and ISSN registration.

 IAHR Proceedings Service

At IAHR we are working to enhance the value and international visibility of the proceedings of all Technical and Regional Committee events. To support this goal, we provide a proceedings support service that ensures event papers are officially published under IAHR and remain permanently accessible to the global community.

This initiative also facilitates the progressive alignment of proceedings with the requirements for indexing in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. All Technical and Regional Events automatically benefit from a basic support package, with the option to extend it to include full editorial assistance and indexing services.

1. Complimentary Services for All IAHR Technical and Regional Events

All IAHR Technical Committees benefit from our free Proceedings support package, which includes:

• 15% discount on all Easy Chair licences to IAHR conferences. Contact Elsa Incio or Derek Cai for more information. 

• Assistance in identifying reviewers for your International Scientific Committee (ISC).

• Standard IAHR proceedings template to ensure consistency and quality.

• Publication and permanent hosting of papers in the IAHR e-Library.

• Assignment of an ISSN to your Series (online version). (You can fill this form) 

• Basic advice on indexing best practices, to help your event move towards Scopus/Web of Science eligibility. 

These services are provided at no cost to the events related to your Technical Committee. They ensure that your event’s proceedings are officially published under IAHR, assigned a unique series identifier (ISSN), and accessible to the global research community.

2. Optional Full Editorial and Indexing Service

• For Technical Committees aiming to maximize the visibility and impact of their proceedings, IAHR now offers an enhanced service, which includes:

• Complete editorial production and formatting under IAHR standards.

• ISSN and ISBN registration for the series and volumes.

• Individual DOI assignment for each paper.

• Support to comply with Scopus and Web of Science indexing requirements.

• Application to Scopus/Web of Science conference proceedings indexing.

This full-service package is offered at €4,500 (up to 400 papers), covering the complete production, and submission to major indexing databases.

Currently, IAHR World Congress Proceedings and Ice Symposium Proceedings are indexed in Scopus. And IAHR has just being accepted for a partnership agreement with Clarivate.

3. Next Steps

Complimentary services will be implemented automatically for all Technical Events.

If you are interested in the full editorial and indexing service, please contact Estíbaliz Serrano to schedule a meeting and align the process with your event’s timeline. In order to integrate IAHR Proceedings guidelines, it is important that these standards are followed from the very beginning of the event preparation.
