Review Process

The submission will first be reviewed for its topic and length, then go through an originality check. The peer-review process will begin soon after the paper is found to be qualified. The paper will be sent to have a double-blind peer review by three reviewers. They will judge the paper based on the theme, coverage, innovation, integrity, depth, and language. If the paper is accepted, notification of acceptance and review comments will be sent to the author via email. The actual review time may be different under certain situations.

Academic Ethics

Papers submitted to the conference should report your original work, unpublished before. They could be either experimental or theoretical and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We firmly believe that ethical conduct is the most essential virtue of any academics. Any act of plagiarism is unacceptable and academic misconduct will not be tolerated. If an author is found to commit an act of plagiarism, the following sanctions will be taken:

  1. Reject the article submitted or delete the article from the final publications.
  2. Report the author's violation to their supervisor(s) and affiliated institution(s).
  3. Report the author's violation to the appropriate overseeing office of academic ethics or research funding agency.

For any inquiry about the submission, please feel free to contact us at submission@confspml.org.
