Each paper will be evaluated by at least three experts before a review decision is made. Every accepted paper, including fast-track paper to JMS or JMP, must be presented in person at NAMRC 49 by the author or one of the co-authors. Unregistered authors (see the deadline below) and/or unpresented (no-show) papers will be removed from the NAMRC 49 Proceedings in Procedia Manufacturing, or from JMS/JMP.
