The conference offers two tracks for presenters:

General: Abstract submissions which, if successful, will result in the authors preparing full papers for the conference or alternatively they may be required to prepare posters. An international scientific committee will undertake the review.

Peer-Review: Full paper submission. Papers not accepted for peer-review will automatically enter the general track. Wiley’s Journal of Packaging Technology and Science will conduct the peer-review and publish accepted papers in a special edition of the journal.

Abstract Selection Criteria

Manuscripts submitted to the 18th IAPRI World Conference should not be under review or published elsewhere prior to the conference. Abstracts will be reviewed by the International Scientific Committee based on originality, scientific quality, significance to the research community, etc. The committee will accommodate as many oral presentations as the conference schedule permits.
