ABOUT

CONICIETI is an annual meeting of academics, researchers, students and professionals from the industry. It is hosted by the Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana (UNITEC) in Honduras. CONICIETI invites the participation of researchers from universities, national and international institutions and industry. The conference is hybrid (face-to-face and virtual) and will feature keynote lectures, forums, exhibitions, conferences and electronic and physical scientific poster sessions. CONICIETI is a space to disseminate and value national and regional scientific work, as well as to promote international exchange.

Authors may participate with two types of work: a) a Full Paper for one of the journals associated with the conference, or b) a Short Conference Paper in the CONICIETI format for the event’s proceedings. All authors will present a poster during the event, independent from the journal they apply their work to be published.

In 2025, the conference will highlight the excellence when doing science, and authors are invited to include that element in their manuscript as it applies.

LOCATION

The conference venue will be the Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana (UNITEC), Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Virtual presentations will be allowed for international authors only.

PAPER REVIEW PROCESS

  1. Papers submitted to CONICIETI 2025 will undergo a double-blind peer review process, so it is necessary that the submitted papers do not include the name of the authors. Check the guidelines of the journal of your interest or the template for the CONICIETI Short Conference Papers (available in AUTHOR RESOURCES).
  2. All manuscripts will be evaluated by at least two reviewers.
  3. Each accepted paper will be presented as an electronic poster for international authors and as a printed poster in a roll-up banner for authors residing in Honduras.
  4. The presentation of the paper during the conference does not guarantee the publication of the article by the journal to which the author(s) have applied. To guarantee publication, authors must comply with the requests of the reviewers of each journal associated with the conference.

ETHICAL GUIDELINES
