Publication of the Papers

Ventana 4 is pleased to announce the renewal of our partnership with the Academic journal Tensões Mundiais of the Universidade Estadual do Ceará in Brazil.

Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit their finished papers a month after the conference - so to include possible corrections taken from their experiences in Ventana - and go through a second selection process to be part of a special edition in partnership with the journal Tensões Mundiais. Submissions will have to follow the standard and editing requirements of the journal.

Further information will be provided in due course.
