Authors of accepted abstracts for the ESIAM26 Conference are invited to submit a full paper. To provide maximum flexibility and visibility for your research, we offer two distinct publication pathways. Please choose the one that best fits your scientific and career goals.
Option 1: Procedia Structural Integrity (Elsevier). Click HERE to submit the paper to PSI
The Traditional Indexed Proceeding.
Procedia Structural Integrity is a formal proceedings series indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. This is the ideal choice for authors requiring traditional academic metrics and high-level indexing for institutional evaluations.
• Process: Papers undergo a peer-review process managed by the ESIAM26 Scientific Committee. Accepted papers are published as the "Version of Record."
• Advantage: Full indexing in major databases (Scopus/WoS), ensuring high academic recognition and stability.
• Constraint: Publication typically takes 6 months post-conference. As a final publication, anti-plagiarism software will flag the content as "previously published," meaning the exact same text cannot be submitted later to a journal.

Option 2: Materials and Structural Integrity: Research Preprints (ESIS-PS/PH). Click HERE to submit the paper to MSIRP.
The Fast-Track Open Access Route.
For authors who prioritize speed and want to retain the ability to submit a refined version of their work to high-impact journals, we offer publication via Materials and Structural Integrity: Research Preprints (MSIRP).
• Process: Authors upload their papers to the dedicated ESIAM26 section in ESIS-PS. Each paper is immediately assigned a DOI and becomes citable. After the conference, all preprints are collected into a formal volume published by ESIS-PH (with ISBN/ISSN).
• Advantage 1 (Speed & Visibility): Your work is online and citable within days. It is indexed by Google Scholar, allowing you to start gathering citations immediately.
• Advantage 2 (The Plagiarism Bridge): Preprints are officially recognised as "non-prior publications" by major journals. Anti-plagiarism software (like iThenticate) is designed to recognise these servers; by disclosing the preprint DOI in your future journal cover letter, editors will exclude it from similarity checks. This allows you to share your results now and publish an extended version of the paper in a top journal later.
• Advantage 3 (Citation Merging): Once your final journal paper is out, Google Scholar and Crossref work to merge the citations from the preprint and the final paper, maximizing your total impact.
