The publication of CSCE 2021 proceedings have been delayed. In recent years, the CSCE books have always been released/published during the month of April (about 9 months after the conference dates); ie, for year 2021, it was planned to have the books made available in June 2022.
Unfortunately, there has been about an 18-month delay for over 1000 books (including ours). All accepted papers for year 2021 were to go through an elaborate publication process which included English Editing; the company that is subcontracted to do this (English Editing) has had disruptions due to mandated closures in New York (due to the pandemic). When they re-opened their offices, they started operating at 30% capacity (due to many staff members not returning to work - children's schools were closed and thus many parents had to stay home looking after their children). This created a multi-year back-log.
In addition, many authors had uploaded their final versions of their papers during the month of December (due to sickness, university closures, not having access to their students to revise their papers, ...).
We should also add that the publication of many other major conferences (archival/indexed books) were also delayed by about two years (their 2020 and some of 2021 sets were indexed just in recent months).
The pandemic did impact over 1000 books, including ours. The good news is that the workflow is getting back to normal. We do anticipate that the books will be ready during the month of June (however, we cannot guarantee the exact date. But we do guarantee that the books will be published.
Authors can still cite their CSCE 2021 papers in their future publications by uploading them to the Cornell University repository (arXiv) - when the books are published, citation record to the repository is automatically transferred to the actual publication. For an example, see:
