Academic Integrity

Review Process & Ethical Standards

Step 1 · Screening

Technical Committee Screening

Each submission is screened for relevance to the conference scope, compliance with submission guidelines, adherence to anonymity requirements, and suitability for review.

Step 2 · Peer Review

Double-Blind Peer Review

The Scientific Review Committee assesses originality, contribution to literature and theory, methodological rigor, practical application, and relevance. Outcomes: accepted, accepted subject to revision, or rejected. Around 40–50% of papers are expected to be accepted.

Step 3 · Ethics

Ethical Review

Authors must confirm originality, proper attribution, institutional ethical compliance, required approvals for human-participant research, and disclosure of conflicts of interest. Flagged submissions are referred to a three-member Ethical Review Committee.

Step 4 · Publication

Post-Conference Editorial Review

Acceptance for presentation does not guarantee inclusion in the Atlantis Press proceedings. Selected high-quality papers undergo editorial review by the Editor-in-Chief and Co-Editors for the proceedings volume.
