Research and Publication Ethics

This Conference follows the directions of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), ethical aspects of conference proceedings. For more information please visit:

https://publicationethics.org/resources/forum-discussions/ethical-aspects-conference-proceedings

All papers must be original, unpublished works that have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors are solely responsible for any copyright issues that may arise.

Human and Animal Research

Papers describing research including human subjects will not be considered if ethical approval has not been sought.

Researches on volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent which should be documented in your paper.

All animal experiments should comply with the ARRIVE guidelines.

Declaration of Interests

Any financial and interpersonal ties to individuals or groups that can improperly affect (bias) an author's work must be disclosed. Employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, grants, and other funding are a few examples of possible conflicting interests.

Declaration of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

Authors should only employ generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies to enhance language and readability throughout the writing process. The technology should be applied under human supervision. Authors should carefully check and revise the output as AI can provide material that sounds authoritative but may be biased, inaccurate, or incomplete. It is not appropriate to cite or list AI and AI-assisted technologies as authors or co-authors.

Plagiarism

Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture, or an academic thesis). All papers submitted to the conference will be checked by the Turnitin Plagiarism Checker.

Description of the peer review process

This Conference uses double-blind review, which means the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa.

At least three subject-matter experts will evaluate each manuscript, guaranteeing that only the best submissions will be published.

A paper's submission should be seen as an undertaking, and if it is approved, at least one of the authors must register and provide an oral presentation of the work at the conference. If you don't, your application to attend the conference next year will be rejected.
