Independence and transparency

Who decides, and who pays.

Editorial independence

Who decides what SET Proceedings publishes, and what has no bearing on that decision.

Who decides

The Editorial Board of SET Proceedings makes every acceptance decision, solely on the reviewers' reports and the academic merit of the work.

SET Proceedings is published by Caravel Press, which provides the platform, the production and the registration of every paper. The conference is organised by the World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET). Caravel Press does not accept, reject or amend a paper.

Money and decisions

Neither the ability to pay a charge nor registration for the conference has any bearing on an editorial decision. The article processing charge is raised only after acceptance.

Where a decision could be questioned

A member of the Editorial Board who has any interest in a submission takes no part in handling it.

If you believe a decision on your paper was reached on anything other than its merits, the complaints and appeals policy sets out how to say so and who considers it.

Advertising and revenue

Where the money comes from, and why it has no bearing on what is published.

Revenue

The World Society of Sustainable Energy Technologies (WSSET) charges conference registration and an article processing charge for each accepted paper, as two separate charges, and pays Caravel Press for publishing the volume. Caravel Press makes no charge to authors. Both charges are set out on the charges page.

Advertising

SET Proceedings carries no advertising of any kind. No advertisement appears on any paper page, and no advertising is interleaved with content.

Direct marketing

Calls for papers are issued by the conference organiser. Caravel Press sends no unsolicited invitations to submit, and does not buy mailing lists.

Metrics

We are guided by DORA and do not use journal-level metrics to represent the quality of an individual paper or researcher. Any metric shown on this site names the index it comes from and links to it.

These policies apply to every journal we publish. Last revised 19 October 2026.
