Policies for authors

EWA Publishing supports its reviewers by providing clear guidelines and resources to uphold ethical standards and review quality. Editors, reviewers, organisers, and authors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the specific policies of the series.
This policy is crafted to reflect EWA Publishing’s dedication to the advancement of knowledge through ethical and transparent peer-review practices, supporting our editors, reviewers, organisers, and authors in contributing to the integrity of the scholarly record.
This proceedings series only publishes conference proceedings and does not accept direct submissions from authors. Manuscripts should be submitted directly to the conference organiser. Please refer to the details and instructions on the conference website.

Concurrent publication

Authors must ensure the originality of their work and are strongly discouraged from submitting manuscripts that describe essentially the same research to more than one journal of primary publication. The concurrent submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals is considered unethical and is strictly prohibited.
It is generally inappropriate for an author to submit a manuscript that has been previously published in another journal. Exceptions to this rule include the submission of work previously presented in the form of an abstract, as part of a published lecture or academic thesis, or as an electronic preprint, provided that these instances are disclosed at the time of submission to EWA Publishing.

Confidentiality

Authors must respect the confidentiality of data obtained through all forms of professional service, including but not limited to, the peer-review of manuscripts and the evaluation of grant applications. The use of such information without the explicit written consent of the author(s) of the original work is strictly forbidden. This principle ensures the integrity of the review process and the respect for the intellectual property of others.
