Policy Statement for Publishing the Proceedings of
the 15th International Heat Transfer Conference

We are confident that the papers accepted for presentation at the 15th International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC-15) shall make a solid contribution to the advancement of thermal science and engineering. The manuscript review will be carried out rigorously so that final accepted papers will have the quality that is equivalent to well-established international journals. In order to achieve this goal, all submissions must be based on original and unpublished research work. It is also assumed that manuscripts have not been published elsewhere nor have they been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Duplicate publication of original research or any other inconsistencies with this policy is considered a breach of the ethical code of conduct for scientists.

All official papers of the IHTC-15 will be archived in the IHTC Digital Library (IDL) of Begell House, Inc. (BH), which is an online digital library featured with interactive web interface and an advanced search engine for the wide variety of use for active researchers and engineers. All rights (copyright) of papers are to be included in the Proceedings of the IHTC-15 as well as in the IDL and will be transferred to BH under existing copyright laws except in the case which the author(s) retain(s) the right to re-use all or part of this material (see the BH copyright release form).
