Organizing conferences
A conference can be organized using the website interface of the research unit or faculty.
Alternatively, one can contact an external company.
Examples:
- System for creating and customizing conferences
- Services for creating conferences, both physical and virtual
- Systems for managing peer review
Note – the Technion libraries do not have a subscription or an agreement for any website for organizing conferences.
Organizing a conference? Be sure to implement the following principles
- Market the conference in the appropriate visibility for the research field
- Save the lists of invitees, the confirmed participants, the presentations, and posters
- Be sure to reach a prior agreement with the publisher that will publish the conference proceedings on its website
- It is preferable that each speech at the conference will have its own page in DOI that may be citable without the conference proceedings
- For every publication, it is recommended to provide for the user a number of ways to create a citation (according to the tools for citation management such as Zotero, and downloads in various formats (RIS, Bibtex etc,)
- If possible, deposit the materials into an Institutions’ s repository site, or other repositories, such as the Technion community in Zendo
- Verify that conference information is stable, and not located on “landing pages“ especially if the conference is not accompanied by Conference proceedings
