Authors of work presented at the conference are invited to contribute a paper to the conference proceedings, which will be published in the open access Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS), published by IOP Publishing. It will be a great opportunity to showcase the quality and range of research being presented at the conference as well as promote the event to a wider international audience. A call for papers will open shortly after the final day of the conference (15 October). A charge of £42 will be made for each publication in the proceedings but this will provide open access and, therefore, the virtual proceedings itself will be free for all to read.

Authors are asked to prepare their papers using Microsoft Word or LaTeX, according to the journal guidelines and templates, and then convert these files to PDF. Full instructions on preparing your paper, along with templates, can be found on the IOP Publishing Conference Series website.
