We have created the following overview to assist accepted authors with submitting a manuscript.
For questions regarding RETC 2023 manuscripts, please contact SME Authors Support at authors@smenet.org.
Manuscript submission is MANDATORY to present at the conference. Acceptance of a paper for RETC is a commitment to submit your manuscript ON TIME and to attend the conference and present. More than 100 abstracts were eliminated to include yours in program and proceedings. If you are not committed to submitting a final manuscript on time, and attending the conference, please contact us immediately and we will remove you from the program and proceedings to make room for another presentation. We appreciate your dedication to the industry in this capacity. Please submit your final manuscript by December 15, 2022.
