Publishing Ethics

Authors should ensure that:

  • their work is original and written by them

  • their work has not been previously published and has been submitted only to this conference.

  • where material is taken from other sources (including their own published writing) the source is clearly cited and that where appropriate permission is obtained

  • their work does not infringe on any rights of others, including privacy rights and intellectual property rights

  • their data is true and not manipulated

  • their data is their own or that they have permission to use data reproduced in their paper

  • any real or apparent conflicting or competing interest is clearly stated on submission of their paper (this would include funding assistance)

  • they adhere to all research ethics guidelines of their discipline, particularly where human or animal subjects are involved

  • they contact the Editor to identify and correct any material errors upon discovery, whether prior or subsequent to publication of their work

  • authorship of the paper is accurately represented, including ensuring that all individuals credited as authors participated in the actual authorship of the work and that all who participated are credited and have given consent for publication

Review Process:

All papers received are first put in Turnitin for plagiarism and checked for use of AI.

A blind peer review process is carried out by a specially convened committee consisting of expert members. These individuals are selected based on their academic qualifications, research expertise, and professional experience.

It is ensured that the reviewers maintain the confidentiality of the review process and conduct themselves fairly and impartially. They must immediately alert the editor of any real or potential competing interest that could affect the impartiality of their reviewing and decline to review where appropriate

Reviewers assess the submitted papers according to the following evaluation criteria: originality and innovation, methodological rigour, clarity and coherence, and relevance and novelty. Each reviewer independently evaluates their assigned papers and provides detailed feedback, which is then communicated to the authors for revision within a specified timeframe.

Once the authors have submitted their revised papers, these are reassessed by the original reviewers or the committee to ensure that all concerns have been adequately addressed. The entire process is overseen by the editorial board, ensuring consistency, fairness, and adherence to the highest academic standards.
