Type of Peer Review

DATABIA employs single blind review, where both the reviewer and author remain anonymous throughout the process.

How the reviewer is selected ?

Reviewers are matched to the paper according to their expertise. Our database is constantly being updated. We welcome suggestions for reviewers from the author though these recommendations may or may not be used.

Reviewers are asked to evaluate whether the manuscript :

  • Is original
  • Is methodologically sound
  • Follows appropriate ethical guidelines
  • Has results which are clearly presented and support the conclusions
  • Correctly references previous relevant work

Reviewers are not expected to correct or copyedit manuscripts. Language correction is not part of the peer review process.

Decision of the manuscript

A final decision to accept or reject the manuscript will be sent to the author along with any recommendations made by the reviewers, and may include verbatim comments by the reviewers.

Director’s Decision is final

Reviewers advise the editor, who is responsible for the final decision to accept or reject the article

No show Policy

Papers that are not presented in the conference will not be included in the final Proceeding
