Guideline for Submission

The submitted paper to the conference must not be previously published, and not considered elsewhere for publication. The submission is electronic and will only be considered in a Word file or LaTex format.

The editorial workflow for every manuscript submitted to the ICASEE-24 conference is outlined below, detailing the process of the peer review by at least 3 potential reviewers. The entire editorial workflow is facilitated through the online submission system. Upon submission, the manuscript undergoes an initial check by the journal's editorial office to verify that:

  1. The files are complete, and relevant metadata is in order.
  2. The paper aligns with one of the scopes of the conference.
  3. The similarity percentage is below the conference and journal's stipulated requirements.

Following this verification, the manuscript is assigned to a Sectional Editor based on their subject expertise. The Sectional Editor conducts an initial assessment before inviting potential 3 reviewers to provide a peer-review report. (The Sectional Editor may reject a manuscript before review if deemed unsuitable.)

1. Reviewer Selection/Assignment for The Successfully Evaluated Papers

The selection of reviewers from the scientific committee members of the ICASEE-24 conference is critical for maintaining the conference's academic rigor and credibility. Leveraging the expertise of committee members, reviewers are systematically chosen based on their alignment with the conference's themes and topics. Diversity across academic backgrounds and geographical locations ensures inclusivity and comprehensive coverage. Careful consideration is given to impartiality and conflict of interest to uphold the integrity of the peer review process. The selection process optimizes reviewer expertise and fosters a transparent and rigorous evaluation process within the ICASEE-24 conference framework through collaboration between organizers, committee members, and stakeholders.

2. Based On The Referee Reports, The Sectional Editor Makes One Of The Following Recommendations:
  • Reject the paper based on the attached comments.
  • Needs Major Revision - the report is attached. The paper may need resubmission for further review.
  • Needs Minor Revision - the report is attached.
  • Publish without modifications - very basic recommendations could be observed.

If the Sectional Editor recommends "Reject," the authors are sent any review reports received. They are informed that their manuscript will no longer be considered for publication in any of the publication partners in the conference.

If the Sectional Editor recommends "Needs Major Revision," the authors are notified to prepare and submit an updated version of their manuscript with the necessary changes suggested by the reviewers. This may involve collecting new data or making substantial revisions to the text. One or more original reviewers then reassess the manuscript before the Sectional Editor makes a new recommendation.

If the Sectional Editor recommends "Needs Minor Revision," the authors are notified to prepare and submit a final copy of their manuscript with the required minor changes suggested by the reviewers. Once the Sectional Editor is satisfied with the final manuscript, optionally seeking further advice from one or more reviewers, the Academic Editor can recommend "Publish without Alterations."

If the Sectional Editor recommends "Publish without Modifications," the manuscript undergoes a final check by the publication partners’ editorial office to ensure adherence to the publication partners’ guidelines and policies in both the content and review process. Upon completion, the authors are notified of the manuscript's acceptance.

Then the corresponding/submitter author will receive an automatic email including your paper details and a specific manuscript number within 24 hours. The manuscript must be submitted in MS-WORD or LaTeX file format. Before submitting your manuscript, authors are advised to follow the Author Guidelines. Manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines will be returned to the author(s).

Paper Selection and Publishing Process

Submission Acknowledgement: When you submit a manuscript, the editor or editorial assistant sends a confirmation e-mail to the submitter author within one to two working days, and a manuscript number will be mailed to the corresponding author. If you fail to receive this confirmation, please check your bulk email box or contact the editorial assistant.

Basic Review: The editor or editorial assistant determines whether the manuscript fits the journal's focus and scope. Next, a check for the similarity rate is done using Cross-check, powered by authenticating. Any manuscripts out of the journal's scope or containing plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, are rejected. Manuscripts out of the journal's scope are rejected. Articles published fully or partly in other publications/websites are not reviewed or accepted.

Peer Review: We use a double-blind system for peer review; both reviewers' and authors' identities remain anonymous. The submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least three experts: one editorial staff member as well as one to three external reviewers. The review process may take two to 3 months.

The decision is Made: The decision to accept an article is based on the reports written by the reviewers as well as the average score in the referee evaluation form filled by reviewers. The reviewers grade a submitted manuscript on a scale of 1 to 5. To be accepted for publication, the manuscript must obtain an average score of not less than 2.5. If differences of opinion occur between reviewers, the editor or editorial assistant will weigh all comments and arrive at a balanced decision based on all comments, or a second round of peer review may be initiated.

Notification of the Result of Review: The result of the reviewers will be sent to the corresponding author. Based on a minor or major revision, the author will be given a limited time to send a feedback report according to the reviewer's comments and some comments of the editorial board. Then the editorial board will work on it to make the final decision.

Submission is Accepted: If the submission is accepted, the authors revise the paper according to the editorial board's notifications. If English proofreading is required, journal management may ask to send the paper to the proofreading service of the journal.
