Light Peer Review
IBIC is introducing a Light Peer Review option. This option is intended as an intermediate level of publication between a non-refereed IBIC paper published in the JACoW conference proceedings and a refereed journal.
Successful peer reviewed papers will be published as part of the Institute of Physics Journal of Physics: Conference Series and therefore visible in the known publication and citation databases. The IoP Proceedings License Terms and Conditions can be found here.

Submission for IoP Publication
After the conference pre-press proceedings have been published, papers which have been successful, must be reformatted by the author and submitted into a different platform. A link to the template and instructions on how to access the platform will be distributed to authors by September 22nd September 29th (2 weeks after IBIC 2023). Reformatted papers are then expected to be uploaded by the authors by September 29th October 6th (3 weeks after IBIC 2023).
** It is strongly recommended that authors submitting for peer review use JACoW LaTeX templates. This will significant simplify the required reformatting required.
