Papers
For each paper to be published, at least one of its authors must register as a conference participant and pay the registration fee.
All papers written in Slovak or Czech will be included in the Conference Proceedings which will be freely available online on our website.
Authors of papers written in English will have the opportunity to publish their original contributions in the journal Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE), which is indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Publication in the journal is available for a reduced fee of 500 €, payable in addition to the conference registration fee.
Papers are subject to the journal’s standard peer-review process. If a paper is published in CEE, only its abstract, with a link to the paper in the journal, will appear in the online Conference Proceedings. If the paper does not pass peer review or the fee specified above is not paid, the full article will be included in the online Conference Proceedings.
