Reviewing & Publishing Policies
1. Editorial Policy:
For abstracts only to be presented at the conference without formal publication, the submitted abstract can be a representative completed (published) or ongoing (unpublished) research.
For full papers to be considered for publishing in conference 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). 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.
By submitting a manuscript to the conference proceedings, authors agree to comply with the above guidelines and ensure that their work adheres to the highest ethical standards in academic publishing.

Manuscripts (other than those with insufficient quality or unlikely to be competitive enough that can not pass through initial quality control) are subject to a double-blind peer-review process by two or more experts in the fields. The reviewers evaluate the work based on its originality, scientific merit, methodology, results, and conclusion. A decision will be returned to authors in about 1-3 weeks. If due to special circumstance, the review process takes more time, authors will be informed by email. Possible decisions on a manuscript are: acceptance, revision (minor or major), rejection.
