Peer Reviewed Paper Submission Deadline extended to January 15, 2021

This whole process is all new to the IAPRI staff, being it is our first attempt to host a conference. So please assist us by meeting our deadlines. Since this is a Member Conference, all submitters must be affiliated with a member institution or corporation. You must have access via member login to the IAPRI website.  If you need to be added as an additional contact at your member institute, contact Ed Church at sg@iapri.org with your contact information.

Peer Reviewed Process

Because of time pressure we expect authors to follow PTS Guidelines. Make sure you also submit a new research paper abstract and title with IAPRI when you begin this process.

First read the Packaging Technology & Science (PTS) “Author Guidelines” - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/10991522/homepage/forauthors.html

Then read the PTS “Authors’ Check-list”* - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/10991522/PTS%20Editorial%20Check-list%20v6-1544006465477.pdf

Submit the full paper to the ScholarOne Manuscripts PTS site: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pts .

During submission you will be asked to select your manuscript type: please select “Paper submitted to IAPRI peer review stream”.

*Please note: if your paper does not meet the requirements set out in the authors check-list it will be returned to you for revision. This will delay peer review and may result in rejection from the peer review stream.
