Yes, the conference organizer provides a certificate of participation and an invoice. These documents are usually required by your university / institute to allocate the grants.
What is the difference between both publication opportunities?
- Environment, Energy and Earth Sciences Journal (EDP Sciences): the reviewing is done by the conference committee during the submission of your abstract (that is why we ask for the full paper and the abstract during the submission), the target is to provide the participants with a quick publication process because this should enable us to publish the special issue by January 2021. The cost of the publication is 50€ and it has to be paid during the registration process.
- Energies (MDPI): The reviewing is done by the journal referees so the full paper has to be submitted directly to the journal starting from November 30th. The publication of the final special issue should be done later in 2021 and the publication fees have to be paid to the Journal directly (no additional fees to pay during the conference registration process). Please note that all the conference participants benefit from a 25% discount on the publication fees thanks to this partnership.
