Review Process

The evaluation process takes place via Internet without having any information about the authors which means that abstracts are evaluated by blind review process.

The evaluation categories are like that: “Introduction and literature, methodology, significance, appeal, interest, exceptionality, currency of the issue, and overall evaluation.”

Each abstract is sent to at least 3 or a maximum of 6 referees who are the members of the scientific committee of the year and whose names are announced on the web after the end of each year’s evaluation process.

Referees evaluate each category within a scale from 0 to 10. The abstracts which get a final average of 7 points from 10 get a right to be presented in the symposium.

Special session for graduate students:

• There will be a special session for the graduate students who want to share his/her own research. There will be a discount for their registration fees.
