Double-blind review process

Peer Review Details

Every submitted paper is reviewed by qualified peers before it is accepted for presentation and publication. Follow the process below to understand what happens between submission and the conference.

Why Peer Review Matters

The peer review process is an essential part of academic and professional research, ensuring quality, originality and validity for every paper submitted to our conferences. It also ensures papers are presentable to a wide audience of researchers, professionals and academics from around the world, aligned with each conference’s scope and standards.

Our Double-Blind Review Process

Reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other throughout the process. Here is what happens step by step, from the moment you submit your paper to the final decision.

Paper Submission

Authors submit their full paper or abstract through the conference page, following the formatting template provided.

Initial Screening

The editorial team checks the submission for scope, formatting and completeness before it goes to reviewers.

Reviewer Assignment

Qualified reviewers are matched to your paper based on subject expertise, keeping identities anonymous on both sides.

Review Process

During the review period, reviewers evaluate the paper for originality, methodology, clarity and relevance to the conference track.

Decision Notification

Once the review is completed, the author receives the decision by email, along with reviewer comments where applicable.

Revision, if Required

If revisions are requested, the author has a set window to resubmit the revised paper addressing reviewer feedback.

Final Decision

After any requested revisions are reviewed, the editorial committee confirms the final decision on your submission.

Presentation at the Conference

Accepted papers are scheduled into the programme for presentation, followed by publication in the conference proceedings.

Possible Review Decisions

A review decision is not only a pass or fail. The exact outcome depends on the paper quality, conference fit and whether the reviewer requests clarification.

Accepted

The paper meets the event requirements and the author can proceed to registration and presentation preparation.

Accepted With Minor Revision

The paper is suitable for the conference, but small edits are requested before final processing.

Revision Required

The paper needs clearer structure, stronger evidence, formatting corrections or topic alignment before a final decision.

Rejected

The paper does not meet the review criteria or is outside the scope of the selected conference.

Review Timeline

The peer review process typically takes 10 working days after submission. Authors are notified promptly, usually well ahead of registration deadlines.

Submit well before the deadline to allow time for review and, if requested, revisions before final submission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions about our peer review process and submission requirements.

Is the review process double blind?

The review process is structured to focus on manuscript quality, topic fit and academic contribution rather than author identity.

How long does peer review take?

Most review decisions are returned within about 10 working days, although complex papers or revision rounds can take longer.

Can I revise my paper after review?

Yes. If the decision requests revision, follow the reviewer notes and resubmit the corrected paper within the given timeframe.

Does acceptance mean registration is complete?

No. Acceptance confirms the paper decision. Authors still need to complete registration before presenting.

Can a rejected paper be submitted to another event?

A rejected paper can be improved and submitted again only if it fits the scope and deadlines of another suitable event.
