Plate 2027 will follow a similar format as PLATE 2025 with the possibility to submit a full paper, extended abstract or proposal for a workshop. These will be reviewed by the scientific committee. This year, in addition to oral presentations, the possibility for poster presentations as well as oral presentations will be also be for offered extended abstracts. If you would like to be considered for a poster presentation only, please indicate this when submitting an extended abstract.

Papers are limited to 2500 – 3000 words not including title, abstract, and references. Extended Abstracts should have up to 1000 words not including title, and references. Please avoid any affiliations as the initial submissions must be anonymous. After a double-blind peer-review process, authors of accepted contributions will be asked to further develop and submit a final camera ready version.

The papers are required to follow the provided word template available for download here:

NOTICE!
For consideration for a contribution to the conference, a full paper extended, abstract, or workshop proposal/abstract must be submitted by 7th of December, 2026 through the conftool system.

• After submission, papers, extended abstracts and workshop abstracts are subject to an initial screening to determine whether it fits the scope of the thematic sessions. If it is within scope, a double-blind review process begins which spans into January.
• In early February, the authors are notified whether the PLATE2027 chairs based on the reviews received, have chosen to either reject, accept, or conditionally accept the paper or abstract for a final submission. See also the PLATE2027 Timeline below for an overview of the process.
