Accepted papers will be published in:

Conference Proceedings (Springer / IEEE – Proposed)

Selected papers in reputed journals (SCIE/Scopus indexed)

All submitted papers to ETAEERE 2027 will undergo a rigorous single-blind peer review process to ensure originality, technical quality, and relevance to the conference themes. Each submission will first be subjected to an initial screening (desk review) to verify its alignment with the conference tracks, compliance with the prescribed Springer/IEEE formatting guidelines, and adherence to plagiarism limits (≤ 15% similarity). Papers that do not meet these criteria will be desk rejected. Eligible submissions will then be assigned to 2–3 expert reviewers from the Technical Program Committee (TPC) and external domain specialists, with strict adherence to conflict-of-interest policies. In the single-blind review process, reviewer identities remain confidential while author details are visible to reviewers. Papers will be evaluated based on originality, technical soundness, methodology, results, relevance to the conference themes, and clarity of presentation.

Each paper will be assessed using a structured scoring system covering originality and innovation, technical quality, results and validation, contribution to the field, and overall presentation. Based on reviewer recommendations (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, or Reject), final decisions will be made by the Program Chairs in consultation with the Technical Committee. Authors of accepted papers must address all reviewer comments and submit the revised (camera-ready) version within the stipulated deadline, failing which the paper may be excluded from the proceedings. A final quality check, including formatting verification, plagiarism re-check, and copyright compliance, will be conducted before publication.

The conference strictly adheres to established publication ethics, with zero tolerance for plagiarism, duplicate submissions, and data fabrication or falsification. Only papers that are accepted, registered, and presented at the conference will be considered for publication. The conference proceedings are proposed to be published with Springer (subject to approval).

In addition, ETAEERE 2027 mandates strict compliance with its AI Usage Declaration Policy. Authors must explicitly declare the use of any Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, etc.) in the preparation of their manuscript by including a section titled “AI Usage Statement” within the paper. This declaration is compulsory, and papers submitted without it will be rejected without review. AI tools may be used only for language editing, grammar correction, and improving readability; however, they must not be used to generate core research content, results, or conclusions without proper validation. Any undeclared or unethical use of AI tools identified during review or after publication may result in immediate rejection, removal from the proceedings, and notification to the authors’ affiliated institutions. A sample declaration is as follows: “The authors declare that AI tools were used only for language editing and proofreading. No AI-generated content was used in the research methodology, results, or conclusions.” The review process ensures transparency and fairness through independent reviewer assignment, strict conflict-of-interest handling, and final editorial decisions made by the conference committee.

Plagiarism Policy

uthors are kindly reminded that plagiarized papers will not be considered for acceptance at ETAEERE 2026. To ensure the originality of submitted papers, the ETAEERE team will conduct plagiarism and similarity checks using the Turnitin tool. Authors are strongly encouraged to use plagiarism detection tools such as Turnitin, iThenticate, Viper, PlagScan, etc., to assess the plagiarism level of their manuscripts before submission. Authors may also submit the originality report generated by these tools along with their paper submission. This precautionary measure is in the best interest of authors to uphold academic integrity and ensure the credibility of their submissions.

The conference follows a rigorous two-round review process:

First Round: Papers will be evaluated on technical relevance, scope, and originality to ensure suitability.
Second Round: Selected submissions will undergo a double-blind review by three experts, assessing originality, novelty, clarity, completeness, relevance, significance, and research contribution.

The final decision on paper acceptance will be based on the feedback from the second review round.
