Peer Review Policy
The abstracts and manuscripts of research articles submitted to this conference will be peer-reviewed. The practice of peer review is to ensure that only good science is published. It is an objective process at the heart of good scholarly publishing and is carried out by all reputable scientific journals. Our referees play a vital role in maintaining the high standards of scientific journals.
Initial Abstract Evaluation
The Publication Committee first evaluates all abstracts. Abstracts rejected at this stage are found to be insufficiently original, have serious scientific flaws, have poor grammar or English language usage. Those that meet the minimum criteria are normally passed on to at least two experts in the field for full review.
Full-Text Evaluation
For accepted abstracts, the full manuscript will undergo blinded peer review by at least two independent referees. Reviewers will evaluate whether the paper is clear, scientifically sound, makes an original contribution to the field of study, and is properly formatted per journal guidelines. Authors will then receive reviewer feedback and recommendations on revisions prior to final acceptance decisions by the Publication CommitteeArchive Access Policy
