Full Paper Peer-reviewing Process:

The full paper peer-reviewing process is critical for assuring the highest scientific quality of the papers accepted for publication.

At least two independent reviewers will review all submissions according to a specific field of research. The reviewers' comments will be provided to assist the authors in improving the paper's technical content, structure, and language. The reviewers and track chairs are responsible for ensuring scientific equality and high standards of the accepted papers.

Please note that participant registration for the conference does not guarantee paper publication as all papers undergo a strict peer-review process. Participant registration covers conference program and scientific functions participation and attendance, optional social events, and access to digital proceedings.


Authors ensures that the submission reports on unpublished work except for any minor excerpts from other works including pre-published illustrations, tables, text quotation, etc. Such material has been cited accordingly in the current submission, and will been included upon permission from or on behalf of the rights holder in case they are protected by copyright. Please read the Ethical Standards for Publication.


Editorial Process

IHIET operates a peer-review process for both abstract submissions and full paper proposals with two to three independent reviewers, followed by a final acceptance/rejection decision by track chair(s) and the respective volume Editor(s). The scientific program chair is responsible for the scientific quality of the overall publication process, including acceptance decisions, approval of Volume Editors and selection of topics, and new Scientific Board members.


Full paper editorial process schedule:

Abstract Submissions: (Notification of decision between 6-10 days on Average) 
Full Paper Submissions (Optional):  (Notification of decision between 30-60 days)
Final Revised Manuscript Due:  (At least 45 days before conference)
