Six pages-papers will be asked to participants. Submitted papers will receive at least two independent peer reviews. Final decisions on acceptance or rejection of a manuscript will be made by the Symposium Co-Chairs.
Authors will be notified of the preliminary decision. Notifications will include reviewers’ comments and, if accepted, detailed guidelines for the final version of the paper.
Authors will then have to submit a revised version of the paper addressing all reviewers’ comments.
Finally, authors will be notified by the Program Co-Chairs about the final decision. This final decision will be based on compliance of the revised papers with both the reviewers’ comments and the formatting requirements of publication.
The submission, revision, acceptance, and publication process will follow this timeline:
• 21st March 2025 – Full papers submission deadline (EXTENDED DEADLINE)
• 5th May 2025 – Authors notified of preliminary paper accept/reject decision
• 30th May 2025 – Deadline for submission of the revised accepted papers
• 9th June 2025 – Authors notified of final accept/reject paper decision
• 27th June 2025 – Final submission deadline for photo-ready paper copy
All 6-page paper submissions to the symposium will be submitted and peer-reviewed using the Morressier platform: the ESFSS 2025 Call for Papers and submission link is available here.
If this is your first time accessing the platform, you will need to register for an account.
All submitted papers must follow the Journal of Physics: Conference Series template and author guidelines. Authors must prepare their papers using one of the following templates:
Authors must submit the papers in PDF. Indeed, IOP Conference Series uses author-supplied PDFs for all online and print publication.
The Scientific Committee reserves the right to reject submissions that do not adhere to the above-mentioned guidelines and templates.
If accepted, whether for oral or poster presentation, the paper will be published in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series from IOP Publishing, an open access and Scopus indexed conference proceedings journal.
This journal also published the conference proceedings of the 3rd European Symposium on Fire Safety Science (ESFSS 2018, Nancy, France) and the 4th European Symposium on Fire Safety Science (ESFSS 2024, Barcelona, Spain).
Additionally, authors of outstanding papers will be invited to submit an extended version for consideration in a Special Issue of the Fire Safety Journal.
