Reviewing & Publishing Policies

1. Editorial Policy:

As for abstracts only to be presented at the conference, the submission can be previously published or presented at other conference;

As for full papers to be publish in Proceedings or Journal, authors should commit that the submission to the conference is completely original and has not been previously published, nor is it before another conference for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Director). All submitted full papers should pass the plagiarism checking (Turnitin International). If redundant or duplicate publication or plagiarism is attempted or occurs, authors should expect immediate editorial action to be taken including prompt rejection of the submitted manuscript.

2. Copyright:

3. Peer-Review:

Every submitted abstract / full paper will be sent for peer review by 2-3 reviewers from scientific committee and editorial board of conference. Manuscripts (other than those that are of insufficient quality or unlikely to be competitive enough for publication) will be peer-reviewed by two or more experts in the fields, and a decision will be returned to authors in about 2-3 weeks. If due to special circumstance, the review process takes more time, authors will be informed by email. Possible decisions on a manuscript are: acception, revision (minor or major), rejection.

4. Publication Ethics:

We firmly believe that ethical conduct is the most essential virtual of any academic. Hence any act of plagiarism is a totally unacceptable academic misconduct and cannot be tolerated.
