The corresponding author must be available to check the paper before it is published.

Authors’ names cannot be added or deleted, their order cannot be changed, and the corresponding author cannot be altered.

According to the practice of Springer, the author name shall follow the order of Given Name + Family Name.

Here are some further explanation on the required materials

A. Licence to Publish Agreement

Each contribution must be accompanied by a Springer Nature Licence to Publish agreement. Modified agreements are not acceptable. The corresponding author, who is also marked as such in the header of the paper, must sign the agreement on behalf of all of the authors of a particular paper, having gained their permission to do so. He or she signs and accepts responsibility for releasing the material on behalf of any and all co-authors.

B. Third-party permissions

As an author/editor of a work, you are responsible for overseeing the inclusion of third party content. By ‘third party content’ we mean any work that you have not created yourself and which you have reproduced or adapted from other sources. 

This document does not constitute legal advice. Authors remain fully responsible for ensuring that they have obtained, documented and paid for (when applicable), all necessary rights to use third party content in their works. If authors chose to reuse third party content from a previous edition of their work, they are also responsible for ensuring they obtained permission from the third party for new editions. Nothing in this document is to be understood as shifting responsibility for rights clearance questions from authors to Springer Nature. In case of uncertainty, authors should seek advice from a lawyer.

To obtain permission to use third-party material in the manuscript visit the Rights Holder website or Copyright Clearance Center Marketplace (CCC,https://marketplace.copyright.com/). If the material is not found, please exert your best efforts to use our Permissions Request Form and/or Release Request Form (to obtain permission from interviewees or other identifiable individuals or the owners of identifiable property in source material) for your request. If the rights-holder issues their own form, please ensure that the document they provide includes all Required Rights listed in the ‘Guide to Obtaining Permissions’ section in our Springer Nature Third Party Permissions Guidelines.

A video on the permission by Springer Editor is available.


  Track 2: Publication with Chinese Journal of Aeronautics(CJA)

Basing on the peer review result, only the best papers will be recommended for publication with CJA. A further review will be made by CJA strictly in compliance with its standards. Thus, some papers will be accepted while the rest will be refused. The refused ones will not be published by Springer neither.

Therefore, authors shall make a decision on whether publishing with CJA or with Springer if their papers get the recommendation. A confirmation letter will be sent to the authors.

CJA is an open access peer review paper ranking Q1 among journal of aeronautical engineering. For more information, please refer to:

  Track 3: No publication

If you are not going to get your paper published, it will be collected and made available for exchange within delegates via an online database. In this case, your camera ready manuscript(either full paper, extended abstract or summary) should be submitted before Oct 9th, 2023.
