1. Initial Screening

Upon submission, each manuscript is screened by the Editorial Committee to verify its compliance with the conference scope, formatting guidelines, plagiarism policy, and ethical standards. Manuscripts that do not satisfy these requirements may be returned to the authors for revision or declined without proceeding to external review.

2. Reviewer Assignment

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial screening are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers with relevant subject expertise. The identities of both the authors and reviewers remain confidential throughout the review process, ensuring an unbiased and impartial evaluation.

3. Review Criteria

Each manuscript is evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Originality and novelty of the research
• Scientific and technical quality
• Soundness of methodology and experimental design
• Accuracy and validity of data analysis
• Significance and impact of the findings
• Clarity, organization, and quality of presentation
• Adequacy of literature review and references
• Compliance with ethical and publication standards

4. Review Recommendations

Based on their assessment, reviewers may recommend one of the following decisions:

• Accept without revisions
• Accept with minor revisions
• Major revisions required (followed by resubmission for further review)
• Reject

5. Editorial Decision

The Editorial Committee carefully considers all reviewer comments and recommendations before making the final decision. In cases where reviewer opinions differ significantly, the manuscript may be referred to an additional reviewer or discussed by the Editorial Board to ensure a fair and balanced decision.

6. Revision Process

Authors requested to revise their manuscripts must submit a revised version along with a detailed response to reviewers, explaining how each comment has been addressed. Manuscripts requiring major revisions may undergo a second round of peer review.

7. Final Acceptance

A manuscript is accepted for publication only after all reviewer comments have been satisfactorily addressed and the Editorial Committee confirms that it meets the conference's academic, scientific, and ethical standards.
