Open Access

The Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction are open access. All papers and the full proceedings are free to download at IGLC.net.

Responsibilities

The scientific chairs of each IGLC conference serve as the editors of the proceedings for that conference. They are responsible for preparing all individual papers and the complete proceedings PDF. The IGLC.net webmaster is responsible for publishing the papers and proceedings on IGLC.net.

DOI, ISSN, and ISBN

After papers have been published online, authors will be asked to confirm the accuracy of all metadata registered for their paper on the website before DOIs are registered.

The ISSN numbers for the proceedings are:

• Printed: ISSN 2309-0979
• Electronic: ISSN 2789-0015

The full proceedings are also assigned an ISBN number.

Publication Fees

There are no publication fees for inclusion in the proceedings. However, publication is contingent upon registering to present the paper at the conference. Each registered participant may present up to two papers. If an author wishes to present more than two papers, additional authors must be registered.

For example, if two authors collaborate on three papers, one author can present all three if both authors are registered to participate in the conference.

Archiving

Archiving

The IGLC maintains an offline backup of all papers published on IGLC.net. In the event that the IGLC is dissolved per §13 of the Charter and Operating Procedures, a plan will be developed to ensure continued access to the papers in the future.

Individual authors are free to upload their papers to their institutional repositories.
