EDITING POLICY
The Editorial Board receives all the papers. The papers are submitted and reviewed using the submission form.
After having been checked these are then forwarded to the Scientific Committee members for the reviewing procedure, as well as to experts outside the Editorial Board in case of a text of specific contents. After the completed review, the Scientific Committee President informs the Committee about further procedure: (a) which papers are accepted to be presented and published, (b) which papers, in case this is required, are returned to the author with suggestions, recommendations and remarks to be improved; (c) which papers are rejected because:
- the topic does not meet the required scientific or technical level;
- the author had already published a paper on a similar topic;
- the topic does not meet the Conference criteria, especially if:
– the content fails to be within the concept of scientific and expert orientation of the Conference,
– the content does not meet the methodological standards implemented by the Conference.
In case the paper has not been accepted, the Scientific Committee informs the author thereof, and the paper is not returned.
If the author accepts the remarks and suggestions from the reviewing procedure and improves the text according to the reviewing requirements, the paper shall be accepted for presentation at the Conference, and published in the Conference Proceedings.
