We are pleased to advise that the scheduled assessment by SCOPUS of the WIT Transactions on the Built Environment has now been satisfactorily completed. WIT Volumes will continue to be listed in that important Database.

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

Conference Proceedings

Delegates will receive a copy of the papers presented at the Conference on a USB Flash drive. Following the Conference, authors will receive an electronic copy of the publication in which their paper has been published.

Indexing and Archiving

Papers presented at Wessex Institute conferences are referenced by CrossRef and have appeared in notable reviews and databases. Papers are submitted to various indexing services such as Thomson Reuters Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus and ProQuest. All conference books are listed in the British Library and American Library of Congress.

Open Access

WIT Press has made all its conference and journal papers open access in an effort to help its dissemination within the scientific and technical community. This means that you are now able to download any paper in the WIT eLibrary (www.witpress.com/elibrary) without charge and without having to pre-register.

Google Scholar

This major development has the added benefit of allowing the Google Scholar search engines to fully index all WIT papers. Google Scholar is a search engine created specifically for researchers to facilitate the indexation and citation of academic papers without charge. This service is becoming the most accepted comprehensive benchmark and quality standard.
