Peer Review Policy
The ICETMS Proceedings is really committed to keeping the standards of academic quality, research integrity and ethical publishing when it comes to conference paper publication. As a platform that is recognized internationally and associated with the International Conference on Emerging Trends in Multidisciplinary Studies all the manuscripts that are submitted go through a rigorous peer review process before they are accepted and published.
Our review system makes sure that every research paper that is published in the proceedings adds something to the global academic and research community.
The ICETMS Proceedings follows a Double-Blind peer review policy. This means that the identities of both the authors and the reviewers are kept secret throughout the evaluation process. This approach helps to make sure that everything is fair, objective and unbiased when it comes to assessing all the submissions that are received for the conference proceedings.
Each manuscript that is submitted for conference paper publication is reviewed by experts who're qualified in the relevant subject area.
Before a manuscript can enter the peer review stage it has to go through an editorial screening. The editorial team checks to make sure that the manuscript:
- Is relevant to the scope of the conference
- Complies with the manuscript formatting guidelines
- Is original and of good academic quality
- Has a proper structure, references and citations
- Adheres to the ethical publication standards
If a manuscript does not meet the minimum quality or formatting requirements it may be sent back to the authors to correct or it may be rejected during the preliminary review stage.
The ICETMS Proceedings uses criteria to evaluate each research paper. These criteria include:
- How original and innovative the paper is
- The significance and contribution of the research
- The scientific quality of the paper
- The methodology and data accuracy
- How clear the presentation is
- How relevant the paper is to multidisciplinary research areas
- The quality of the references and citations
The peer review process helps to make sure that all the accepted papers meet the standards that are expected for high-quality conference paper publication in an international conference proceeding.
When the reviewers have finished evaluating a manuscript the editorial committee may decide to:
- Accept the submission
- Accept it with minor revisions
- Accept it with revisions
- Reject the submission
Sometimes authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts based on the comments from the reviewers before the manuscript can be finally accepted.
