Publication ethics and publication rules

The article must be an original, previously unpublished work executed in the English language. It must not have been previously published or considered for publication in other conference proceedings or a journal. It is assumed that the authors whose names are given in the paper have contributed sufficiently to the scholarly work and therefore share collective responsibility for the results.

All papers undergo a double-blind peer review. First, every article is reviewed by the conference editors who may reject it if it is not relevant for the conference subject area and does not meet the conference requirements, or if it is of low quality. At the second stage of reviewing, the paper is sent to an independent reviewer. The reviewers are asked to evaluate the paper, and they may recommend:
1. to accept the article as it is,
2. to accept the article with minor corrections,
3. to accept the article with major corrections,
4. to accept the article only after being corrected by the author and its secondary review,
5. to reject the article.

Reviewing includes recommendations and comments that are subsequently sent to the author(s). The editors should not revert the decision on publication unless some serious problems are revealed.

The editors and reviewers should evaluate the papers on the basis of their intellectual content regardless of the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnicity, citizenship or political beliefs. The editors' decision to accept or reject an article for publication must be based only on its importance, originality and clarity as well as the relevance of the research to the purpose of the conference.
