Review Policy & Quality Assurance

All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of academic content. Each submission will be evaluated by at least 3 independent reviewers. Reviews are conducted on the basis of technical quality, originality, significance, clarity, and relevance to the conference scope.

Plagiarism Policy & Pre-Submission Requirements

Institutional Pre-Check Required: Authors are strongly advised to check their manuscripts using their institution's plagiarism detection tools (such as Turnitin, iThenticate, or similar) before submission. Papers should demonstrate a similarity score of less than 30% to be considered for review.

IEEE CrossCheck Verification: Please note that all submitted papers will be subject to IEEE CrossCheck plagiarism detection, which employs more stringent standards than most institutional tools. Papers exceeding acceptable similarity thresholds will be immediately rejected without review. We encourage authors to ensure originality and proper citation practices before submission.

IEEE No-Show Policy

Papers that are accepted must be presented at the conference (either physically or online via pre-recorded videos on YouTube), either by the authors themselves, or via proxy. In case a paper is not presented at the conference, it shall be deemed a "no-show." No-shows will be removed from post-conference distribution and will not be available on IEEE Xplore or other public-access IEEE forums.

Publication & Indexing

Please read this terms and conditions carefully. Submitting your paper means you agree to the following terms:

1. All accepted and presented papers will be submitted by the Conference Organizers to IEEE for consideration in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, subject to compliance with IEEE's quality, scope, and ethics requirements.

2. Final acceptance into IEEE Xplore® rests solely with IEEE; the Conference Organizers do not have, and do not claim, final authority over Xplore inclusion. In accordance with IEEE's Non-Presented Paper Policy, the Conference Organizers reserve the right to exclude any accepted paper from distribution — including from IEEE Xplore® — if it is not presented by an author at the conference (either physically, virtually or via pre-recorded videos), or if registration and applicable fees are not completed as required.

3. Following publication in IEEE Xplore®, IEEE may submit paper metadata to independent Abstracting & Indexing (A&I) partners, including but not limited to Scopus, Web of Science (Clarivate), and Ei Compendex (Elsevier), for their own evaluation. Each A&I partner makes its own independent editorial decision regarding what content it will index, and neither IEEE nor the Conference Organizers can guarantee, promise, or control inclusion in any A&I database. Accordingly, the Conference Organizers do not claim, reference, or guarantee indexing in Scopus, Web of Science, or any other database, whether prior to, during, or after the conference.
