Policy for Plagiarism

All submitted manuscripts will be subjected to similarity checking using a licensed version of iThenticate plagiarism detection software. Only articles with a similarity index of less than 15% will be considered for review. Submissions should also ensure less than 3% similarity from a single source.

Authors must submit original and unpublished research work that is not under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts with a higher similarity index may be rejected at any stage of review. Authors are individually and collectively responsible for maintaining the highest ethical standards concerning plagiarism and publication integrity.

Important Instructions for AI-Generated Text

The use of content generated by artificial intelligence tools, including text, figures, images, and code, must be clearly disclosed in the acknowledgments section of the submitted paper. Authors must identify the AI system used, specify the sections where AI-generated content was used, and briefly explain the level of AI involvement. Failure to disclose such use may result in rejection without reviewer comments.

Peer Review Policy

ICETSF 2027 follows a single-blind peer-review process. The plagiarism check committee initially verifies each submitted manuscript using iThenticate. A maximum similarity of 15% with proper citations is permitted before the review process begins.

Each paper will be reviewed by a minimum of three subject experts. Papers will be selected based on technical quality, originality, relevance to the conference theme, significance, clarity, methodology, and ethical compliance.
