Blind Review Policy

We are committed to timely evaluation and presentation/publication of fully approved papers at the ICAPSM 2025. All submissions are subjected to a rigorous review procedure in order to maintain a high-quality publication. The following are the characteristics of the blind peer-review procedure:
-
Parallel submissions of the same Research Paper to a different Conference, Journals or Symposium will not be accepted.
-
Papers having content outside the scope will not be reviewed.
-
In accordance with ICAPSM 2025 policy, submissions will be assessed by 3 experts as suggested by the organizing committee.
-
Presentation and publication related decision(s) are made by the Organizing Committee (ICAPSM), based on the reports given by the experts. The authors of papers that are not approved will be notified promptly and the decision taken by the organizing committee ICAPSM will be the final verdict.
-
All the submitted papers are considered confidential documents. We expect our Board of Reviewing Editors and reviewers to treat the papers as confidential matters as well.
-
Editors and Reviewers must ensure the papers meet all the mentioned requirements.
-
Editors and reviewers engaged in the review procedure must state any conflict of interest arising from direct competition, collaboration, or other ties with any of the authors, and should withdraw themselves from situations where such conflicts prevent objective evaluation. The utilization of privileged information or ideas received via peer review for competitive benefit is prohibited.
