Submission Strategy for Global Researchers
1. Visa Planning: If you plan to attend IEEE PES GM (Canada) or Globecom (Asia), start your visa application at least 4 months in advance. Acceptance letters are usually issued 3 months before the event.
2. Indexing Verification: For "Worldwide" conferences, always check the publisher. IEEE and Springer (like CSOC and SGEM) are the safest bets for consistent Global indexing in Scopus and EI Compendex.
3. Budgeting: SGEM (Bulgaria) and CSOC (Online) are the most budget-friendly options for researchers with limited funding. IEEE Globecom and PES GM are premium events with higher registration fees but offer unmatched networking value.
