Quality Control and Submission Guide

ACEE is dedicated towards maintaining a high scholarly standard for each and every proceeding via our team of editors and reviewers. All submitted manuscripts are blind peer-reviewed by several experts in the relevant field according to the conference’s scope. The peer-review system works as follows:

• All articles have been subjected to peer review administered by the proceedings editors.
• Reviews have been conducted by expert referees, who have been requested to provide unbiased and constructive comments aimed, whenever possible, at improving the work.
• Proceedings editors have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the quality of the materials they publish and their decision to accept or reject a paper for publication has been based only on the merits of the work and the relevance to the series.

Originality and Plagiarism

Papers must be original research or review articles that have not been published or submitted elsewhere for possible publication. Identically duplicate or plagiarized manuscripts will be retracted immediately.

Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else’s work, in whole or in part, as one’s own and without proper given credit. ACEE is dedicated to maintaining a high standard of ethics in publishing, and thus plagiarism, malpractice, and misconduct will not be tolerated. Articles proven of such actions will be retracted immediately.

In order to combat plagiarism in publishing, ACEE uses a plagiarism detecting system as of January 2020 on all submissions prior to the review process and acceptance. ACEE archives the generated plagiarism report in case of any future plagiarism inquiries.
