Therefore, it will allow readers to get a glimpse of the aim of conference itself. This preface functions as an interest-grabbing introduction that can possibly propel readers to further explore proceeding series at the UGM Digital Press. In brief, it is to the merit of each conference organizers to write their own preface depending on their preference and style.

Once the UGM Digital Press receive all related files, assessment team will review and check to see if all manuscripts meet the merit of the UGM Digital Press guidelines. There is no specific deadline as to when the UGM Digital Press should expect manuscripts, but it should be noted that the longer the conference organizers send the file, a delay in publication is expected since the UGM Digital Press operates on a first-come first-served basis.

The manuscripts may appear on repositories affiliated with the UGM Digital Press. However, there is no way for the UGM Digital Press administrators in expediting the whole process of publication other than by sending prepared files as early as possible.
