Full-Paper Publication Opportunities – ICOMTA’2027

ICOMTA’2027 offers potential publication opportunities for selected research contributions in academic journals, international book series, and edited volumes.

Publication is optional and separate from conference participation. Authors do not need to submit a full paper to present their research at ICOMTA’2027.

Following the initial evaluation of abstracts, authors of shortlisted proposals may be invited to prepare and submit a full manuscript for further peer review.

An invitation to submit a full paper does not guarantee acceptance for publication. All manuscripts must comply with the scientific, editorial, and formatting requirements of the relevant publication venue.
