ICAST 2020: International conference on Advances in Sustainable Technologies 2020 School of Mechanical Engineering, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, India Phagwara, India, November 6-7, 2020

International Conference on Advances in Sustainable Technologies.

Globalization provides all-around development and this development is impossible without technological contributions.Hence, this conference aims at providing a leading forum for sharing original research contributions and practical developments in the field of Mechanical Engineering so as to contribute its share for technological advancements.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

Full papers

• Prospective authors from India and abroad are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the conference.
• Submissions must include title, abstract, author affiliation with email address and keywords.
• Paper should be submitted as per template.
• The paper should not contain page numbers or any special headers or footers.
• Length of the paper should not exceed 8 pages. However, authors can extend it to maximum 12 pages with over length page charge of Rs.1000 per page or USD 25 per page.
• Literature reviews/survey papers will only be considered if they present a new perspective or clearly benefit the field. To be published, such papers must go beyond a review of the literature to define the field in a new way or highlight exciting new technologies or areas of research.
• All submitted papers will be subjected to a "similarity test" by Turnitin Software.
• Papers achieving a 15% similarity score will be examined and those that are deemed unacceptable will be rejected/withdrawn without a formal review.
