Stage 1: All submitted abstracts will undergo initial screening by the Scientific Track Chairs to assess relevance, originality, and alignment with the conference themes.
Stage 2: Full research papers will be subjected to a double-blind peer review by at least two independent experts with recognized expertise in the respective field. This process ensures objective and constructive evaluations.
Stage 3: Only papers that are accepted, presented, and successfully defended during the conference will be eligible for inclusion in the conference proceedings or selected partner journals.
This multi-layered review process reflects the conference's commitment to scholarly excellence and its role in contributing meaningful knowledge to the global community. |
