Conversion to PDF

• The PDF file is editable and not password protected.
• The PDF is free of formatting errors (e.g. corrupt equations, missing or poor-resolution figures), since conversion from Word to PDF can introduce formatting errors.
• There are no blank pages.

Originality

• Submitted articles must be the authors’ own work, expressed in their own words. Plagiarism constitutes unethical scientific behaviour and is never acceptable. Plagiarism ranges from the unreferenced use of others’ ideas, to replication (without sufficient attribution or use of quotation marks) of sections of text from other sources, to submission of a complete paper under ‘new’ authorship. IOP Publishing screens submissions for originality via iThenticate, industry standard plagiarism detection software. Papers with similarity rate more than 30 percent will be rejected..

After double-blind reviewing, accepted and presented on the Conference papers will be sent to Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science.
Organizing Committee will send each paper to 2 independent reviewers, experts in the area of the paper.

So, each paper will be evaluated by two independent experts according to the following Criteria:

1) Relevance to the conference directions

2) Scientific-technical originality, potential impact and interest for the audience

3) Scientific and technical content, novelty and importance

4) Quality of the presentation, clarity of the content

5) Comments for all authors will be given by the reviewers

The reviewers are going to indicate their familiarity with the paper's subject, evaluate the paper along the aforementioned criteria. Finally, the Organizing Committee will decide what papers will be accepted. But the final decision is taken by the Publisher.
