CONFERENCE

Updated: 30 July 2024

Extended Abstract Submission is Re-Opened


It was brought to our attention that many authors were wondering why their contributions were not included in the Proceedings of the 20th WCNDT. There are two reasons – first, the Extended Abstracts submission was optional at the 20th WCNDT and accordingly, many have submitted just the Abstract which is published in the Proceedings on the official website and not the NDT.net’s as they publish only the Extended Abstracts or Full Paper; and second reason is, your contribution was excluded if you did not give us your consent for having your work published in NDT.net at the time of your abstract submission.

However, given the circumstances, the 20th WCNDT Organizing Committee decided to re-open the Extended Abstract submission system to ensure that the knowledge is well preserved for the NDT society. If your contribution is not among those included and you would still like to make your work accessible and findable in the long term, you can still submit a contribution to the proceedings in the form of an extended abstract or full paper. *Even if you have only submitted the “Camera-ready” abstract, you can still submit your extended abstract at this time.

Submission is re-opened until midnight on 18 September 2024 (KST) at MyPage.

Final versions of the accepted papers will be made freely accessible on NDT.net – Open Access Archive in a special issue of the e-Journal of Nondestructive Testing ISSN 1435-4934 (www.ndt.net/eJNDT). This service is free of charge.

By submitting a paper I agree to the following publication procedure: I accept that the conference committee is authorized to transfer my submitted paper(s) and author data to NDT.net for publication. I agree to the following publication license: Copyright 2025 – by the Authors. Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.”

How to Submit Camera-ready Abstract, Extended Abstract or Paper for Oral and Poster Presentations
- Authors whose abstracts have already been accepted can modify their abstracts including title, contents and author information except for conference topics until the camera-ready abstract submission deadline (8 March 2024). If the conference topic has been amended, the abstract must go through the review process again; therefore, authors may change the conference topic only by the abstract submission deadline.

- If the abstract is revised by an author after the submission of a camera-ready abstract, the author must submit a revised camera-ready abstract in accordance with the revision of the abstract. If the changes made to the abstract are minor (for example, spelling errors), it is not necessary to resubmit a camera-ready abstract.

- If the author wishes to revise only the camera-ready abstract of the accepted abstract, the author can resubmit it within the due date.
  • All abstracts must be submitted through the submission system on the conference website. Abstracts submitted in any other way will not be considered for review nor be accepted in any way.
  • Registration of Camera-ready Abstract (Mandatory) and Extended Abstract or Paper (Optional) will only be considered if they are submitted in accordance with the requested data format and abstracts.
