Papers Invited (Beware of Academic Conferences)
7 October 2007I found a very useful resource for my self lately. My university is a member of Papers Invited site. Using this, I have been getting the latest conferences in my own area. You can type “papersinvited” into resources of UIUC library online. Strongly suggested for researchers.
PapersInvited was conceived and developed to assist researchers at all levels - scientists, professors, post-docs and students who are seeking publishing opportunities for their research papers. PapersInvited presents an exhaustive list of Calls for Papers issued by professional bodies, journal editors and other conference organizers in all disciplines.
