ICIEBDS+ Proceedings Editorial Review Process

RESEARCH TRACKS

OVERVIEW

Papers meeting all the peer review requirements will be designated as “peer reviewed” in the conference proceedings. Papers not meeting the peer review requirements will be published in the proceedings without the peer reviewed designation. Peer Review Option: Authors whose abstracts are accepted in sessions with peer review (either as a primary or as an alternate presenter) will have the option to have their paper peer reviewed. Peer reviews will be accomplished by independent reviewers and supervised by a committee. To be designated as peer reviewed:

  • completed manuscript must be uploaded to the ICIEBDS Portal by June 30
  • manuscript must pass peer review (note that there will be no secondary reviews)
  • one of the authors must be present at the conference and prepared to present the paper

PEER REVIEW CRITERIA (Research Tracks Only)

  1. Does the manuscript contain new and significant information to justify publication?
  2. Does the abstract clearly and accurately describe the content of the article?
  3. Are the objectives of the work clearly and concisely stated?
  4. Are the experimental and/or theoretical methods described comprehensively?
  5. Are the interpretations and conclusions justified by the results?
  6. Is adequate reference made to other work in the field?
  7. Is the language acceptable?
  8. Does the manuscript cite any recent articles?
  9. Do you recommend this paper for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings?
    1. Endorse paper and recommend for ICIEBDS
    2. Endorse paper as-is
    3. Do not endorse paper (paper fails peer review) for:
      1. Technical content/revisions required
      2. English/grammar (major edits required)
  1. Suggestions for improvement – optional (to be passed to the author)

Other considerations and guidelines for ICIEBDS conference paper peer reviewers:

  1. The review criteria should not be as high as for a journal paper. The majority of completed, well authored and researched papers will fall into the “endorse paper as-is”.
  2. You may endorse a paper that requires “minor non-technical English edits,” but fail a paper for major English/grammatical issues.
  3. Non-endorsed papers will still be included in the conference proceedings; they simply will not carry a peer-reviewed designation.
  4. Exceptional papers will be endorsed/identified for the ICIEBDS proceeding.
  5. If in doubt about a decision, please contact your Track Chair.

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

Each paper shall be peer reviewed by two independent reviewers (typically the subject matter experts chairing the session). The paper must be passed by two independent reviewers in order for the paper to be designated as peer reviewed in the conference proceedings. If the paper receives one endorsement for peer review by one peer reviewer, and the other reviewer fails to endorse, the paper shall be escalated to the conference’s Publication Committee for management of a third review and adjudication.  Additionally, if for any reason a paper fails to receive two peer reviews (either a chair fails to perform a peer review in a timely manner or a conflict of interest is determined to exist), the paper shall be escalated to the conference’s Publication Committee for management of a third review and adjudication. 

NON-PEER REVIEWED PAPERS IN PROCEEDINGS

Papers in the Research Track that were not peer reviewed may still appear in the conference proceedings without a peer review designation. This may occur because either: 1) the paper did not pass peer review; or 2) the author did not submit the paper in time to enter the peer review process. Other papers may be included in the conference proceedings for convenience and completeness for which peer review was not applicable/appropriate (i.e., panel presentations, keynote addresses, policy presentations, etc.). While the conference publishes papers from the ICIEBDS+ conference’s Commercial and Policy Tracks in the conference proceedings, these papers are not eligible for peer review.
