Editorial Policy

PEER-REVIEW PROCESS

All submitted manuscripts are read by the editorial staff. Those manuscripts evaluated by editors to be inappropriate to conference criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to blind reviewers. The submitted papers will be peer-reviewed based on relevance and timeliness, technical content and scientific rigor, novelty and originality, and their quality of presentation. The editors then decide based on the reviewer’s recommendation from among several possibilities: rejected, require major revision, or need minor revision. Authors can check the status of their manuscript anytime from their account in the OJS or Scientific.Net (if applicable E3S Web of Conferences). The committee will notify authors via email when the review process is finished. After the authors get the notification of acceptance, authors need to finalize their final manuscript in accordance with the author's guidelines and review results.

Review process:

  1. The author submits the manuscript
  2. Editor evaluation (some manuscripts are rejected or returned before the review process)
  3. Blind peer review process
  4. Editor decision
  5. Notification to the authors
