All submissions to the conference will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure high academic quality and relevance to the conference themes. The review process will be managed through the online submission and review system and will follow internationally accepted scholarly publication standards.

1. Review Process

All submitted manuscripts will be subjected to a double-blind peer review process, where the identities of both authors and reviewers are concealed to ensure fairness and objectivity. Each manuscript will be evaluated by at least two independent expert reviewers (National and International external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area).

2. Initial Screening

Before the peer review process begins, all submissions will undergo an initial editorial screening conducted by the Conference Chairs or Track Chairs to ensure that the manuscript:

  • Falls within the scope of the conference
  • Meets the formatting guidelines
  • Demonstrates originality and academic relevance
  • Is written in acceptable academic English

Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be desk rejected before peer review.

3. Plagiarism Check

All submitted manuscripts will undergo plagiarism screening using recognized plagiarism detection tools such as iThenticate or Turnitin. Authors must ensure that the similarity index of their manuscript remains within acceptable limits.

  • The overall similarity index should normally be below 15–20%.
  • Any single source similarity must be less than 5%.
  • Manuscripts exceeding these limits may be returned to authors for revision or may be rejected at the discretion of the Technical Program Committee.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Authors may use AI-based tools only for language improvement, such as grammar correction, readability enhancement, and minor rephrasing. However, the use of AI must not compromise the originality and integrity of the research work.

The following practices are strictly prohibited:

  • Submission of AI-generated research papers without genuine scientific contribution.
  • Generation of research results, experimental data, or analysis using AI without proper disclosure and validation.
  • Use of AI to generate references or citations that do not correspond to real and verifiable sources.
  • Use of AI tools to fabricate content, figures, datasets, or experimental outcomes.

Manuscripts that are found to be substantially generated by AI without authentic research contribution will be rejected during the review process.

Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the submitted work, regardless of whether AI tools were used for language assistance.

4. Review Criteria

Reviewers will evaluate submissions based on the following criteria:

  • Originality and novelty of the research
  • Technical quality and methodological soundness
  • Relevance to the conference theme
  • Significance of results and contributions
  • Clarity of presentation and organization
  • Proper citation of related work

5. Decision Process

Based on the reviewers’ comments and recommendations, the Technical Program Committee will make one of the following decisions:

  • Accept
  • Accept with Minor Revisions
  • Accept with Major Revisions
  • Reject

Authors may be required to revise their manuscripts based on reviewer comments before final acceptance.

6. Final Paper Submission

Only accepted and presented papers will be considered for inclusion in the conference proceedings.

Authors must submit the camera-ready version of their manuscript incorporating all reviewer comments and following the publisher’s formatting guidelines.
