We have been informed that some authors of CIE 2025 papers are being contacted by fraudulent journals requesting submission of their full papers. These messages often attempt to deceive authors into paying article processing fees under false pretences.

Please be aware that the only official publication outlets for CIE 2025 papers are:

  • The Proceedings of the CIE – coordinated directly with authors from our side
  • A limited selection of papers invited for publication in Lighting Research & Technology (LR&T) and in Color Research & Application (CR&A)

If you receive unsolicited emails requesting your paper or payment, do not respond or send any material. These are not associated with CIE.

If you’re unsure about the legitimacy of a message, feel free to contact us at ciecb@cie.co.at.
