Author Responsibilities
- An author’s primary responsibility is to present an accurate account of the paper, together with an objective discussion of its significance.
- The paper has never been published or is not in the process of being published elsewhere.
- Submitted papers shall contain detail and reference to sources of information sufficient to permit peers to verify their accuracy.
- Authors shall cite and give appropriate acknowledgment to those publications influential in determining the nature of the paper sufficient to guide the reader to earlier work essential to an understanding of the present paper.
- Submitted papers shall not contain plagiarized material or falsified research data. Plagiarism is the use or presentation of the ideas or words of another person from an existing source without appropriate acknowledgment. Any similar misappropriation of intellectual property is also considered as plagiarism.
- Scholarly criticism of a published work may be justified, but personal criticism shall be considered inappropriate.
- It is inappropriate to submit papers with obvious commercial intent. Authors should make no changes to the papers after they have been accepted. If there is a compelling reason for any changes, they must inform the conference’s scientific committee. Only the scientific committee has the authority to approve changes.
Publication Ethics (Committee)
- The primary responsibility of the conference organizer is to ensure an efficient, fair, and timely review process of paper publication, and to establish and maintain high standards of technical and professional quality. Criteria of quality are originality, clarity, profundity, and relevance to the conference theme.
- The conference organizer shall give unbiased consideration to all papers, judging each on its merits without regard to race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, seniority, citizenship, or political orientation of the author(s).
- The sole responsibility for acceptance or rejection of a paper rests with the conference organizer. The organizer shall seek advice from reviewers chosen for their expertise.
- The conference organizer shall disclose no information about a paper under consideration to anyone other than those from whom professional advice is sought.
- Any member of the organizing committee who authors or co-authors a paper submitted for consideration shall not review that paper.
- The conference organizer should respect the intellectual independence of authors. Unpublished information contained in submitted papers are confidential and shall not be used in the research of any committee member.
- The committee should be alert to possible cases of plagiarism, duplication of previously published work, falsified data, misappropriation of intellectual property, duplicate submission, inappropriate acknowledgment, or incorrect co-author listing.
