SUBMISSION OF SYNOPSES

The quality of the papers is initially assessed on the basis of a synopsis. To this end, the synopsis must summarize the results and advances that will be described in the paper. A synopsis that only describes the context of the research will be rejected.

Study Committees involved in the symposium will manage the process of full Papers review with a Peer Review Panel composed by experts. The papers from other Study Committees will be reviewed by Canadian experts. Authors may be asked to make changes or adjustments to their papers. Final acceptance or non-acceptance is duly notified to authors.

Participants wishing to present and publish papers should submit synopses by following the instructions on website (www.cigre.ca), where the synopses and paper templates are also available. All synopses, papers, and presentations must be in English or in French and English. Please note that at least one author must present the paper at the symposium.

PAPERS PUBLICATION

Papers will be available to download one month in advance of the symposium for registered participants. One month after the symposium, papers will be available on www.e-cigre.org free of charge for CIGRE members. The CIGRE Science & Engineering (CSE) journal will publish the best papers selected from the symposium. The Technical Committee of the Symposium will produce a summary report of the symposium for publication in ELECTRA.
