Citizens from certain countries do not require visas to enter and stay in the country for 90 days.

5. Can the paper be presented without participating in the conference?

In general, we do not encourage this practice. One of the primary objectives of attending academic research conferences is to meet delegates from different parts of the world to network and know contemporary research works in different disciplines. Conferences provide great opportunities to know the emerging trends and the funding opportunities available. Also, it helps in fostering good relationship with fellow delegates so that joint and inter-disciplinary research works can be undertaken. However, in case the delegate has some practical issues or difficulties to attend the conference in person, for instance, difficulties in obtaining visas, you may present your paper in-absentia.

6. Who will present my paper ‘In-absentia’?

Either the Conference Chair or Conference Director or any other senior professors will present your paper ‘In-absentia’. You will get a certificate clearly mentioning that your paper was presented in-absentia.

7. I want the abstract of my research paper to be published in the conference proceedings and not the full paper. Is it possible?

Yes. If you would like to publish only the abstract, you may do so. In such cases, your abstract alone will be published in the conference proceedings.

8. I would like to pay the conference ‘registration fee’ on the spot. Is it possible?

No. Delegates should remit the conference registration fee on or before the deadline. However, if you are a delegate from Iran, the conference committee permits the Iranian Delegates to pay the fee on the spot. All other delegates will pay their conference registration fee on or before the deadlines as given in the conference website.

9. In which journal will my paper be published?

We publish six journals and they are available in our website i., www.globalbizresearch.org. In general, the authors will suggest the journal in which their paper should be published. However, you may also request us to suggest the journal. Based on the area of the paper, we would publish it in our journals provided you have improved the paper based on the feedback/suggestions/comments given by the anonymous reviewers.

10. Can I directly opt for publishing the paper without presenting the paper at the conference orwithout participation?

Yes. In such cases, you will pay only the publication fee of US$100.
