Editorial standards

Peer review process

Every abstract and paper submitted to WRC 2026 goes through the same steps. You can follow your submission with the paper ID in your confirmation email.

  1. Plagiarism check

    Every paper is checked with plagiarism detection software. Papers that fail the check are sent back to the author for changes.

  2. Review by two reviewers

    Each paper is peer reviewed by two internal or external Robotics Forum reviewers before it is accepted for the conference.

  3. Decision by email

    The decision is sent to your registered email address. Check your email and mobile regularly: all notifications come by email and mobile only.

  4. Registration

    If your paper is selected, confirm your registration before the last date of registration. Registrations after that date are not considered.

  5. Presentation and proceedings

    Registered papers are presented in person or online and considered for the conference proceedings, with an online DOI registered through Crossref.

  6. Journal review (optional)

    On the author's written request, a paper extended by at least 20% can be sent to an associated journal. The second review takes 25 to 60 days and the journal makes the final decision.

Publication note: conference acceptance does not guarantee journal publication. Journal review, acceptance, fees and indexing are decided by the journal. Full review process
