    Call for Journal First Papers

To provide a broader forum for reporting on scientific progress as well 
as practical experiences on ICT for sustainability, ICT4S 2023 invites 
submissions of papers recently published in related journals. Authors of 
recently published journal papers are invited to present their work at 
ICT4S 2023, therefore providing an opportunity for the authors to engage 
directly with the community and offering the attendees an additional 
dimension to the conference program.

Journal First papers should relate to ICT4S and describe original 
results that have not been presented at a conference. Papers that are 
extensions of previous conference papers are not eligible. For a journal 
paper to be eligible to participate, the paper must be: in scope of the 
conference (see below Topics of interest), accepted in one of the 
following journals (if you would like us to consider a paper published 
in another journal of equal reputation to those presented in the list, 
please contact the Program Chairs), and accepted for publication after 
January 1st, 2022 and before December 31st, 2022.

List of considered journals: T-SUSC, SUSCOM, Technol. Forecast. Soc. 
Change, Solutions, JSS, IST, GMD, JSDTL, Telematics and Informatics, 
STS, FGCS, EIA Review, IEEE Series on Green Communications and Computing 
Networks, INFOGG, Journal of Cleaner Production, JSME, Renewable and 
Sustainable Energy Reviews, Applied Energy, Energy Policy, TSE, TOSEM, 
Environ. Model. Softw., IEEE Software, IEEE Computer, CACM, REEN, SoSyM, 
ASE, JOT, IJSEKE, IJCTT, IJSE, CSRD, JIIS, Journal of Environmental 
Management, Journal of Industrial Ecology.


      Evaluation Process and Selection Criteria
      <https://conf.researchr.org/track/ict4s-2023/ict4s-2023-journal-first#evaluation-process-and-selection-criteria>

Authors will be invited to present their journal paper at ICT4S 2023 
after a check that the paper satisfies the criteria listed above. Since 
the papers have already been reviewed and accepted by the respective 
journals, they will not be reviewed again for their technical content.

In case an exceptionally high number of submissions is received, we may 
not be able to select all papers. In this case, priority will be given 
to the papers with authors that have no (or fewer) papers accepted at 
other ICT4S tracks. If we still need to select from papers with the same 
priority, we will choose papers that best fit the technical program, 
offering a balance across the conference topics.
