Peer Review Process

Review Guidelines

• Because qualified paper review is essential to the publication process, all reviewers have a responsibility to do their fair share of reviews.
• If a reviewer feels inadequately qualified or lacks the time to fairly judge the paper submitted, the reviewer shall return the paper promptly to the chairperson of the conference’ scientific committee.
• A reviewer shall objectively judge the quality of a paper on its own merit and shall respect the intellectual independence of the author(s).
• A reviewer shall avoid conflicts of interest and/or the appearance thereof. If a paper submitted for review presents a potential conflict of interest or the reviewer has a personal bias, the reviewer shall return the paper promptly without review, and advise the chairperson of the conference’ scientific committee.
• A reviewer should not evaluate a paper authored or co-authored by a person with whom the reviewer has a personal or professional connection if the relationship would bias judgment of the paper.
• A reviewer should treat a paper sent for review as a confidential document.
• Reviewers shall explain and support their judgments adequately so that editors may understand the basis of their comments. Negative judgments, in particular, should receive a clear, complete, and cogent explanation from the reviewer.
• A reviewer shall call any substantial similarity between the paper under consideration and any published work or any work submitted concurrently to another conference/publication to the attention of the conference’ scientific committee.
• Unpublished information, arguments, or interpretations contained in a submitted paper are confidential and shall not be used in the research of a reviewer or otherwise disseminated except with the consent of the author and with appropriate acknowledgement.
• If a reviewer has convincing evidence that a paper contains plagiarized material or falsified data, or evidence of simultaneous submission, the reviewer shall notify the conference’ scientific committee, who will determine the final disposition of the matter.
