Policies & Ethics

Upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and peer-review integrity for the global academic community.

Conference Academic Meeting

The Proceedings of International Conference on Innovation, Sustainability and Engineering for Global Transformation (INSEGT) is a peer-reviewed proceeding. We only publish article manuscripts in the fields appropriate for the proceeding.

The committee is responsible for the peer-review publication process as a pivotal building block in the development of a respected network of academia.

The following statements clarify ethical behavior agreed upon by all parties involved: the authors, editors, and peer-reviewers. These statements are adapted from the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE).

  • Originality & Accuracy

    Submit manuscripts accurately and objectively based on honest work. Do not use fabricated, falsified, or inappropriately manipulated data.

  • Proper Citation & Novelty

    Cite previous research and provide proper acknowledgment of the works of others. If sections of a previously published study are used, clearly cite them and indicate the novel contributions of the current manuscript.

  • No Plagiarism & Redundancy

    Certify that the manuscript is an original work, free of plagiarism, and has not been published or currently considered for publication elsewhere.

  • Funding & Authorship

    Disclose any funding or grants received in the acknowledgment. Ensure all listed authors significantly contributed to the research and agree on the final submitted manuscript.

  • Conflict of Interest & Errors

    Notify the committee regarding any potential financial or other conflicts of interest, and promptly report any significant errors identified post-submission.

  • Quality & Screening

    Responsible for the initial screening of all submitted manuscripts and ensuring the overall quality of the publication process.

  • Peer-Review Management

    Handle the peer-review process and assign reviewers who possess suitable expertise according to the manuscript's topic.

  • Publication Decisions

    Make fair publication decisions (Accept, Reject, or Revise) based solely on the results of the objective review process.

  • Confidentiality & Ethics

    Keep all information pertaining to submitted manuscripts confidential and ensure authors declare any conflict of interest prior to publication.

  • Strict Confidentiality

    Treat all manuscripts as privileged information. Do not discuss or share manuscript details with others unless permitted by the editor.

  • Objective Feedback

    Provide objective, clear, and constructive feedback to help improve the quality of the manuscript. Personal interest or bias is strictly prohibited.

  • Conflict of Interest

    Notify the editor and withdraw from reviewing if there is any conflict of interest (financial, institutional, or collaborative) with the authors.

  • Timeliness

    Complete the review promptly within the designated time-frame, or notify the editor immediately if unable to fulfill the task.

  • Double-Blind Peer-Review

    Each submitted manuscript is independently evaluated by at least three (3) expert reviewers in a strict double-blind process.

  • Assessment Criteria

    Full papers (from Abstract to References) are assessed based on originality, technical depth, topic relevance, contributions, and readability.

  • Decision & Notification

    The Editor makes the final decision (acceptance, amendment, or rejection) based on reviewer recommendations. Authors will be informed via email.

  • Revision Timeline

    Authors must address reviewer reports and submit the revised, camera-ready manuscript to the submission system within two weeks of notification.
