The International Conference on Intelligent Computing for Sustainable Biosphere and Infrastructure (ICIC-SBI) follows a rigorous and transparent peer review process to ensure the quality, originality, and relevance of all accepted papers. The organizing committee has prior experience in managing internationally indexed publications, with two previous conferences successfully published in AIP Conference Proceedings, reflecting adherence to established academic and editorial standards.
All submissions are handled through a secure conference management system such as EasyChair or Microsoft CMT, which facilitates paper submission, reviewer assignment, and communication throughout the evaluation process.
The conference adopts a double-anonymous peer review process, ensuring that both authors and reviewers remain unidentified to each other. Authors are required to remove all identifying information from their manuscripts prior to submission to maintain fairness and objectivity.
Each submitted paper is initially screened by the Program Chair and Technical Program Committee to assess its relevance to the conference themes and compliance with submission guidelines. Papers that pass this initial screening are assigned to qualified reviewers based on their expertise. Each paper receives a minimum of two independent reviews, with a target of three reviews to ensure a balanced and thorough evaluation.
Reviewers evaluate submissions based on several key criteria, including originality, technical quality, methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and contribution to the field. They provide detailed comments and recommendations, which are used by the Track Chairs and Program Chair to make informed decisions. In cases of conflicting reviews, additional evaluations may be conducted.
Final acceptance decisions are made by the Program Chair in coordination with the Conference Chair, ensuring that only papers meeting the required academic standards are accepted. Authors of accepted papers are required to revise their manuscripts in accordance with reviewer comments before submitting the final camera-ready version.
All submissions undergo similarity checking using tools such as Turnitin or iThenticate to ensure originality. Papers with high similarity or ethical concerns are subject to further review and may be rejected if necessary.
The conference strictly enforces ethical standards. Authors must submit original, unpublished work and properly cite all sources. Any form of plagiarism, data manipulation, or unethical conduct will result in immediate rejection. The use of artificial intelligence tools is permitted only for language enhancement, and authors remain fully responsible for the integrity and originality of their work.
All peer review policies, ethical standards, and submission requirements are clearly communicated through the conference website, Call for Papers, and submission system. By submitting a paper, authors agree to comply with these policies and uphold the standards of academic integrity.
