Submitting to an EI-indexed conference can be an important step for researchers seeking international recognition, but it often comes with financial considerations. While there is no fixed, universal fee, costs usually depend on several factors such as the conference location, the organizing body, and whether you are attending in person or virtually.
In most cases, EI conferences do not charge for initial submission but require a registration fee if your paper is accepted. This fee is mandatory to include your paper in the conference proceedings and for EI indexing. Registration fees typically range from a few hundred to over a thousand USD, with higher rates for international or prestigious conferences.
Many conferences offer early bird registration discounts and reduced rates for students. Taking advantage of these options can significantly lower costs, especially for researchers with limited budgets.
If attending in person, travel, accommodation, and daily expenses can add substantially to the total cost. In some cases, authors may also need to pay for extra pages if their paper exceeds the standard length limit.
In recent years, more EI conferences have introduced online participation, which can reduce expenses by eliminating travel and accommodation costs while still ensuring EI indexing of accepted papers.
Researchers can seek funding from universities, research institutions, or academic grants. Some organizations also offer travel scholarships for outstanding papers or early-career researchers.
Participating in an EI-indexed conference is not just about the cost—it’s an investment in academic visibility and career development. For more resources and guidance on high-quality academic conferences, visit iconf.org.
