PEER REVIEW PROCESS AND
PLAGIARISM POLICY

PEER REVIEW

ICITS Conference Proceedings are double blind-reviewed.  The reviewer and author do not know each other. Practically, Editor elects a minimum of two reviewers for the review. Peer reviewers are specialists in their field. The process of peer review can be seen here. Organizers have a tendency to build a pool of peer reviewers that have a good record of producing high-quality reviews. Or we have a tendency to scan the bibliography to identify potential reviewers.

The proceeding editorial boards consider the report or feed-backs provided by the peer reviewers in a piece of writing and take a call. The foremost common choices, that we have a tendency to make for an article publication, are:

Accept the article without any changes

Publish the article in its original type as provided by the author.

Accept the article with minor revisions

Asks the author to form little corrections and then publish the article.

Accept the article once major revisions

Raise the authors to form the changes urged by the reviewers and/or editors: after revision publish the article.

Revise and resubmit the article

The Chief Editor fails to simply accept the article within the current spherical and willing to rethink the article in another spherical of decision making once the authors build major changes within the article as urged.

Reject the article

The Chief Editor will not publish the article or reconsider it though the authors build major revisions within the article.

PLAGIARISM POLICY

Plagiarism is use of any other author’s work and claiming as his/her own work. Plagiarism is academic dishonesty and can constitute copyright infringement. No publisher should publish these types of plagiarized articles.
