ICAGD 2026 Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I attend a USRS conference?
USRS conferences give you an international platform to present your research, network with peers, meet industry experts and receive a certificate of participation and presentation.
Will my paper be published?
Accepted and registered papers are published in the USRS conference proceedings with an ISBN. Extended versions of selected papers can be submitted to associated international journals, including journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science or Google Scholar, on the author's written request. The journal reviews the paper and decides on acceptance, and the author pays the journal's publication cost.
What is the peer-review process?
Every submission is checked with plagiarism detection software and reviewed by two internal or external USRS reviewers. Acceptance is based on originality, relevance, methodology, technical quality and contribution to the field.
How long does it take to receive acceptance or rejection?
Authors are generally notified within one to two weeks after submission.
Can I present online if I cannot travel?
Yes. USRS offers both physical and virtual presentation options. Online presenters present live by video conference for up to 10 minutes; choose the online attendee fee when you register.
How long is an oral presentation?
Oral presentations are 15 minutes long, including 5 minutes for questions and discussion. The paper must be presented by one of its authors or co-authors.
How can I get an invitation letter for my visa?
Invitation letters are issued by email to registered authors, delegates and participants after payment confirmation. Send the registration form, payment proof, a passport-size photo and a passport scan to [email protected]. The visa process usually takes about one month, so apply early. Only the embassy or consulate decides on the visa.
What is the refund policy?
Registration fees are not refunded if a participant cancels, cannot attend, arrives after the reporting time or is refused a visa. If USRS cancels or reschedules an event, you receive a credit for 100% of the registration fee, valid for another USRS event within one year. See the rules and regulations for details.
