Proceedings of Automotive Science and Technology (PASTECH) is a peer-reviewed proceedings series dedicated to the dissemination of high-quality research and engineering developments in the automotive domain and the broader mobility ecosystem. It serves as an academic platform for publishing conference and symposium papers with clear scientific contribution, sound methodology, and reproducible/validated results, while fostering academia–industry collaboration and accelerating knowledge transfer.
PASTECH does not accept individual paper submissions. Papers published in PASTECH consist of conference and symposium papers presented at events regularly organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers Turkey.
In addition, papers presented at conferences organized by other institutions, associations, universities, or academic/professional organizations related to automotive engineering, automotive technologies, and mobility may also be published in PASTECH, subject to a cooperation or publication agreement with the Society of Automotive Engineers Turkey. For such collaborations, the necessary correspondence and evaluation process must be initiated at least one year before the conference date.
Papers must be submitted personally by the authors through the system and are subject to peer review. Papers that receive a positive evaluation through the peer-review process are published in PASTECH after the relevant conference or symposium date.
A paper published in PASTECH may not be republished in another journal, symposium book, conference proceedings book, or any similar publication venue.
PASTECH welcomes original contributions based on experimental, numerical, analytical, and/or data-driven approaches, including applied engineering studies, comparative assessments, and well-documented industrial case studies that advance automotive science and technology.
