Review Process

Peer review plays a vital role in maintaining the high standards and all manuscripts submitted in this conference are peer reviewed following the procedure outlined below.

1. Initial manuscript evaluation: The conference committee first evaluates all manuscripts. Manuscripts rejected at this stage are insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, have poor grammar or English language, are outside the aims and scope of the Conference or have very high similarity index. Those that meet the minimum criteria are normally passed on to at least 2 experts for review.

2. Type of Peer Review: Double blind review process will be followed in this conference, where both the reviewer and author remain anonymous throughout the process.

3. Referee reports: Referees are asked to evaluate whether the manuscript: – Is original – Is methodologically sound – Follows appropriate ethical guidelines – Has results which are clearly presented and support the conclusions – Correctly references previous relevant work. Should the referee’s reports contradict one another or a report is unnecessarily delayed, a further expert opinion will be sought. The decision will be sent to the author with recommendations made by the referees, which usually includes verbatim comments by the referees. Revised manuscripts might be returned to the initial referees who may then request another revision of a manuscript.

4. Final Decision: A final decision to accept or reject the manuscript will be sent to the author along with any recommendations made by the referees, and may include verbatim comments by the referees.
