All submitted manuscripts will undergo a two-stage review process in accordance with the conference review algorithm.
At the first stage, each manuscript is subject to preliminary editorial screening. This includes an assessment of its compliance with the conference scope, formal submission requirements, academic language standards, manuscript structure, and publication ethics. The manuscript is also checked for textual similarity using anti-plagiarism software.
At the second stage, manuscripts that pass the preliminary screening are sent for expert review. The final decision on acceptance, revision, or rejection is based on the reviewers’ recommendations and the editorial assessment of the manuscript’s academic quality.
Acceptance decisions will take into account the following criteria
Originality — the manuscript presents a new idea, research problem, methodological approach, empirical evidence, theoretical argument, or a new interpretation of existing knowledge.
Relevance — the manuscript corresponds to the scientific scope of the conference and addresses one or more of its key thematic areas.
Significance — the study raises issues that are important for sustainable development, green taxonomy, green technologies, green economy, environmental transformation, ESG, or related interdisciplinary fields.
Scientific quality — the arguments are supported by sufficient data, appropriate methods, relevant literature, and a clearly presented research design.
Technical and methodological rigor — the research methods are selected, justified, and applied correctly; the results are properly substantiated and clearly interpreted.
Theoretical or practical contribution — the manuscript contributes to the development of scientific knowledge and/or offers findings that may have practical relevance for policy, business, technology, environmental management, or sustainable development.
Clarity of presentation — the research aim, structure, argumentation, results, and conclusions are presented logically and are easily understood by the academic audience.
Academic integrity — the manuscript complies with the principles of responsible authorship, proper citation, transparency of data use, and publication ethics.
Reviewers and editors may have access to the manuscript similarity report generated by anti-plagiarism software.
The similarity report includes all textual elements of the manuscript, including references, affiliations, standard terminology, methodological descriptions, and other formal sections. Therefore, the similarity percentage should not be interpreted as a fully objective measure of the originality or academic quality of the manuscript.
The final assessment of originality is made by the editors and reviewers on the basis of a qualitative analysis of the similarity report, the nature of textual overlaps, the correctness of citation, and the scientific contribution of the manuscript.
If revisions are requested, authors are expected to revise the manuscript in accordance with the reviewers’ comments and submit the revised version through the online submission system.
The revised manuscript should normally be submitted within one week after receiving the reviewers’ comments, unless another deadline is specified by the Organizing Committee or the Publication Committee.
Authors should ensure that all reviewer comments are addressed carefully and that the revised manuscript complies with the conference submission guidelines.
