Review Policy

All papers submitted for publication in conference proceedings undergo a double-blind peer review process (neither the reviewers nor the authors know their identity). The review serves to keep the quality of the conference.

• Authors upload a non-anonymized version of their paper to the editorial system, in which the peer-review process takes place.
• The editorial team anonymizes the manuscript before forwarding it to the reviewers.
• Upon completion of the review process, authors are informed of the results via the editorial system.
• Authors make any necessary revisions as directed by the reviewers and the editorial team.
• Reviewers are selected based on expertise and experience.
• Reviewers must maintain the confidentiality of the content of the papers and may not use the information obtained for other purposes.
• Reviewers provide objective and constructive feedback.
• Editors and organizers are responsible for the proper conduct of the review process and coordinate communication between reviewers and authors through the editorial system.

This policy ensures transparency and fairness of the review process.

Papers that successfully pass the peer review process will be published in the conference proceedings.

Based on the results of the review process, the Scientific Committee of the conference reserves the right not to include a contribution in the conference program and publish it in the proceedings, if, for example:

• the paper contains significant English language errors or
• the quality of the proceedings was compromised or
• the formal requirements have not been complied with

The author must not modify, distort, or otherwise change the research data in the paper so as to materially affect the conclusions drawn from the research results.

The author of the paper is required to include only valid and true affiliations of all co-authors of the paper (name, institution, contacts).
In case of serious misconduct resulting from a violation of the ethical principles of the XB-CON, the published paper will be withdrawn.

The author of a paper must inform the editor without undue delay of any apparent error in his/her accepted paper. The author is obliged to cooperate with the editor in any retraction or correction of the paper.

All papers submitted for conference review must be original and must not have been published in any other way before, during or after the conference. The author(s) should also not submit similar papers to multiple conferences or journals.
