1. Scholars interested in participating in the conference can submit their abstract (about 150-300 words covering the areas of a manuscript for the proceedings issue) online on this website until 6 April 2022 10 May 2022;
2. The Conference Committee will pre-evaluate, based on the submitted abstracts, whether a contribution from the authors of an abstract will be welcome for ECAS 2022. All authors will be notified by 20 April 2022 24 May 2022 about the acceptance of their abstract;
3. If an abstract is accepted for this conference, the author is asked to submit their manuscript (max. 6 pages), alongside an optional poster/PowerPoint/video presentation (max. 5 minutes) of their paper, before the submission deadline of 18 May 2022 15 June 2022;
4. The manuscripts and presentations will be available on the ECAS 2022 homepage for discussion and rating during the time of the conference (16-31 July 2022);
5. The accepted proceedings papers will probably be published in the journal Environmental Sciences Proceedings. The publication of a proceedings paper is free of charge. After the conference, authors are recommended to submit an extended version of their proceedings papers to the Atmosphere Special Issue "Advances in Atmospheric Sciences ‖" with a 20% discount on the APC.

Note: Before publication, the Environmental Sciences Proceedings journal will review accepted papers using the powerful text comparison tool iThenticate. This procedure aims to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism.
Submissions with a high repetition rate and lack of novelty will not be published in the conference proceedings.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

All authors must disclose all relationships or interests that could inappropriately influence or bias their work. This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript.

Copyright

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe that authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting a communication paper to this conference, you retain the copyright of your paper, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this paper online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your paper to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher (if required by that publisher).
