A student research conference is an international online conference that allows students to publish conference papers and research results in academic proceedings without attending in person.
Online student conferences enable students to submit research papers remotely from anywhere in the world. Participation involves preparing a paper according to the conference requirements, submitting it through an online form, and publishing it in the conference proceedings.
Following each conference, an electronic volume of conference proceedings is published and assigned an International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Selected papers may also receive a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) through Crossref.
Student research conferences cover a wide range of academic disciplines, including economics, management, information technology, engineering, social sciences, humanities, and other fields. Participants choose the most appropriate conference section based on their research topic.
Participation is entirely online and does not require presentations, public speaking, or physical attendance.
To find a suitable conference, please visit the conference calendar.

If desired, information about an academic supervisor may still be included in the publication.
Yes. All submitted papers are reviewed for compliance with academic integrity standards before publication in the conference proceedings.
The review process is intended to identify plagiarism, improper citation practices, and other violations of academic integrity. Only papers that meet the established requirements are accepted for publication.
The recommended minimum text originality level is 60%. If significant plagiarism or excessive similarities are identified, the paper may be returned to the author for revision.
Compliance with academic integrity requirements is a mandatory condition for participation in a student research conference.
Submitted papers are reviewed by the Organizing Committee for compliance with formatting requirements and academic integrity standards. After the review, participants receive an email notification regarding the acceptance of their paper for publication.
In most cases, submitted papers are reviewed within 6–24 hours after submission.
Submitted papers must comply with the Science Vector formatting requirements regarding structure, length, text formatting, references, and academic integrity standards.
Detailed paper formatting requirements are available on the “Formatting Requirements” page.

A complete list of conference sections is available on the “Conference Sections” page.
Participation in a student research conference results in the publication of academic work in the conference proceedings.
Participants receive:
— publication of their conference paper in the conference proceedings;
— an electronic personalized certificate of participation;
— the option to obtain a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for their paper, if required (additional conditions apply).
The electronic conference proceedings are published in open access and may be used for academic, educational, and professional reporting purposes.
A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a unique identifier assigned to a research paper to ensure its permanent identification and easier discovery in digital academic environments.
A DOI provides a stable link to a publication, simplifies citation, and improves the accessibility of research materials for academic and educational purposes.
Obtaining a DOI is an optional service and is not required for participation in a student research conference. Conference papers may be published in the conference proceedings without DOI assignment.
Participants may decide whether a DOI is necessary based on their individual academic or professional needs.
More information about participation fees and additional services is available on the “Payment page“.
Yes. The topic of a research paper or the selected conference section may be changed after submission, but only before the submission deadline for the student research conference.
To request a change, participants should contact the Organizing Committee. Changes can be made provided that the request is submitted before the conference submission deadline.
After the submission period has ended, changes to the paper topic or conference section are generally not possible, as the conference proceedings are being prepared for publication.
Participants are encouraged to review their selected topic and conference section carefully before submission to avoid the need for later changes.
A complete list of available conference sections and research areas can be found on the “Conference Sections” page.
Yes. A reference list is a mandatory part of a research paper and must be prepared in accordance with the established submission requirements.

Published conference proceedings are available in the “Conference Archive” section of the website.
This section provides access to electronic conference proceedings from previous student research conferences, which can be viewed online or downloaded for future reference.
The Conference Archive allows participants to explore previously published papers, research topics, and examples of conference paper formatting.
More information about the format and features of student research conferences 2026 is available in the relevant sections of the Science Vector website.
Yes. One author may submit multiple papers for publication in the same conference proceedings. Each paper is treated as a separate submission and must comply with the established formatting, content, and academic integrity requirements.
Submitting multiple papers allows participants to present the results of different research projects or address several research topics within the same student research conference.
There is no limit on the number of papers that may be submitted by a single author, provided that all submission requirements and deadlines are met.
The conference fee for participation in a student research conference depends on the specific conference and any additional services selected by the participant.
Detailed information about conference fees, DOI assignment, certificates, and available payment methods can be found on the “Payment” page.
