REVIEW PROCESS

Selection of articles, for possible publication, will have a three stages elimination process. In the first stage, an internal scrutiny committee will first check relevance and appropriateness of each article, according to the decided theme and sub-themes of the conference. Secondly, all articles will go through mandatory similarity/ plagiarism check (using software). Articles having a similarity percentage less than 15% will be sent to the next stage. In the third stage, all the articles passing through previous two stages, will be sent for double-blind review. Articles, after removing authors’ identity, will be sent to two subject experts (outside the host organisation), who are minimum Associate Professors. Subject to availability, attempts will be made to get at least 40 percent reviewers from abroad. Authors will be finally asked to incorporate the suggested changes/ revisions, if asked by any/ both reviewers.
