Policy

All papers submitted to the Conference will be reviewed using a double-blind peer-review process. For more details about the peer-review process, download the relevant guide from the download area. The submission process is as follows:

  • The author creates his/her abstract and submits it through the on-line submission platform until the predefined deadline.
  • The Conference Scientific Committee decides about the acceptance or not of the abstract.
  • After abstract acceptance, the author has to submit his/her Conference paper until the Conference starting date.
  • The submitted paper must follow exactly the Conference paper template. The minimum size of the paper is 4-pages. There is no upper limit for the paper size.
  • During the Conference, all remaining papers will be reviewed by a Scientific panel.

The following diagram shows the different phases of a paper that is created and submitted by an author.

  • Similarity check is performed using the Turnitin software. The results of the similarity check are tested by the editor in order to ensure that the sources of similarity are valid, like papers uploaded to repositories, or references which usually produce high similarity scores or quoted and cited text. After removing these sources, an accepted score is no more than 20%. Papers that do not pass the similarity check, are not assigned to reviewers and do not enter the reviewing process.
  • The final decision of the publication of the paper is taken from the publishing house.
