About the Conference Series

ICCM Conference Series

The International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM) is the premier and oldest conference series focused on composite materials. It started in 1975, and is organised by the International Committee on Composite Materials. It is the globally-leading biennial event dedicated to advancing the science and engineering of composite materials. ICCM is committed to the highest standards of academic publishing and aims to adhere to the indexation criteria of both Scopus and the Web of Science Core Collection.

Aims and Scope

The International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM) aims to advance the science, engineering, technology, and application of composite materials through the dissemination of original research, industrial innovation, and educational initiatives. The conference series covers all aspects of composite materials, including but not limited to:

  • Fibre-reinforced polymer, metal, and ceramic matrix composites
  • Nanocomposites and multifunctional materials
  • Bio-inspired and natural fibre composites
  • Manufacturing, processing, and fabrication technologies
  • Structural analysis, design, and optimisation
  • Damage, fracture, fatigue, and durability
  • Testing, characterisation, and non-destructive evaluation
  • Recycling, sustainability, and lifecycle analysis
  • Applications in aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, civil, and biomedical engineering

Language

The official language of the ICCM Conference Series is English. All submissions, including titles, abstracts, and full papers, must be written in English. All peer review and editorial correspondence is conducted in English.

Editorial Quality and Peer Review

  • All ICCM submissions undergo anonymous peer review by at least one independent expert.
  • The editorial process is managed by a local organising committee and an international scientific committee with deep expertise in composite materials.

International Diversity

  • ICCM attracts participants from over 50 countries, with a diverse authorship, local organising committee, and international scientific committee.
  • The conference promotes global collaboration and inclusivity in research.

Publication and Accessibility

  • All accepted papers are published open access (Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 International) on Zenodo, each with a DOI and full metadata.
  • Proceedings are archived permanently and are freely accessible to the global research community.
  • ICCM ensures long-term digital preservation and discoverability.

Ownership and Governance

The ICCM Conference Series is owned and governed by the International Committee on Composite Materials (ICCM), a learned society operating on a non-profit basis. ICCM is in the process of formalising its non-profit registration. The society is governed by an elected Executive Council in accordance with the ICCM Constitution and By-Laws.

Registration and Recognition

Guidelines for Authors

Detailed guidelines for authors, including manuscript formatting, reference style, and submission requirements, are published on each conference edition’s dedicated website. Authors should refer to the next conference website for current submission guidelines.

Publication Frequency

The ICCM Conference Series proceedings are published biennially (every two years), corresponding to each edition of the International Conference on Composite Materials.

Regularity and Continuity

  • ICCM has been held continuously since 1975, demonstrating long-term editorial stability and scholarly impact.

Academic Contribution and Impact

  • ICCM proceedings are widely cited and contribute significantly to the advancement of composite materials research.
  • The conference fosters innovation, interdisciplinary dialogue, and the dissemination of cutting-edge findings.

Ethical Publishing and Transparency

Advertising Policy

Online proceedings published by ICCM do not contain any advertising material. Editorial decisions are entirely independent of commercial considerations.

Revenue and Business Model

ICCM is a learned society operating on a non-profit basis. The conference series is funded through conference registration fees paid by participants. No article processing charges (APCs) are levied on authors. All proceedings are published open access at no cost to authors or readers.

Indexing and Discovery

ICCM conference proceedings are discoverable through:

  • Zenodo — all proceedings are archived with individual DOIs and full metadata (zenodo.org)
  • OpenAIRE — Zenodo records are automatically harvested by the OpenAIRE infrastructure
  • Google Scholar — papers are indexed via Highwire Press meta tags and Zenodo metadata
  • DataCite — DOIs registered through Zenodo are discoverable via DataCite

ICCM is actively pursuing indexation in Scopus and the Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI).

Structured metadata for all ICCM proceedings is available via Zenodo’s OAI-PMH protocol and REST API, enabling automated harvesting by indexing services.
