Publication Ethics

Publication Standards

Authors of original research are expected to provide:

  • A precise description of the theoretical and experimental background.
  • Detailed methodology.
  • Clear presentation of results.
  • An objective discussion of the significance of their work.

Authorship

Authorship should be limited to individuals who meet the following criteria:

  • Significant contributions to the conception, design, or execution of the research.
  • Authorship of the manuscript or critical revisions thereof.

Contributors who have provided substantial support, such as technical assistance, writing and editing help, or general support but do not meet the authorship criteria, should be acknowledged but not listed as authors.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring:

  • All co-authors are appropriately included and meet authorship criteria.
  • All co-authors have reviewed and approved the final manuscript.
  • All co-authors agree to the submission of the manuscript for publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure their submissions are entirely original. If the work or words of others are used, they must be properly cited or acknowledged. Any publications that have influenced the research should also be cited.

Plagiarism, in any form, is strictly prohibited and includes:

  • Copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another’s work without citation.
  • Misrepresenting research conducted by others as one’s own.

Such unethical practices are unacceptable and constitute a breach of publication ethics.

Acknowledgements

Authors should:

  • Appropriately acknowledge the contributions of others.
  • Cite publications that have significantly influenced the reported work.
  • Explicitly state any financial support, scholarships, or economic assistance related to the research.

Authors must not use confidential information obtained through services such as manuscript refereeing or grant application reviews unless explicit, written permission is granted by the original author(s).

Each contributor to the conference may appear as the sole author of up to two papers and as a co-author of two additional papers. A maximum of four authors per paper is recommended.

Submitted abstracts must be limited to one page and no more than 500 words (excluding the author name(s)). Abstracts should address the following criteria:

  • Significance: Does this study address an important problem?
  • Innovation: Does the study employ novel concepts and aim for original methods?
  • Approach: Are the conceptual frameworks, designs, methods, and analyses adequate?
  • Usefulness: How can the research objectives benefit the respective scientific area?
  • Clarity: How clear and well-organised is the presentation?

Abstract Layout Guidelines

Title of Paper

Keep the title concise and closely related to the paper’s content. The abstract must not exceed one page, including references.

Object of Study

Begin with a brief description of the object of study or investigation, providing the theoretical context. Clearly state your questions or hypotheses in simple terms, avoiding overly technical language. In essence, explain what you have done.

Methodology

Summarise the key aspects of your approach and methodology, including details such as subjects, materials, research context, or any essential components to help readers understand your work. In short, describe how you conducted your research.

Results

Present your results or findings succinctly, especially in relation to your research questions or hypotheses. Avoid unnecessary details or extensive statistical data. Simply describe what you have found.

Conclusions

Draw explicit conclusions from your results and connect them to the significance of your study.

References

Including references in abstract submissions is optional. If included, references should be concise and relevant. Given the limited space, it is preferable to focus on your own work rather than referencing the work of others.
