Submission Guidelines

• The International Conference on Renewable Energy, Power Engineering, and Sustainable Engineering (ICREPSE2024) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity and quality. The review process ensures that all submitted papers are thoroughly evaluated by a panel of experts in the respective fields, ensuring the presentation of only high-quality, original, and impactful research. Below is a detailed outline of the review process:
  
  Step 1: Initial Screening
  Upon submission, each paper undergoes an initial screening by the conference’s editorial team. This stage verifies the following:
  Adherence to Guidelines: Papers are checked to ensure that they conform to the submission guidelines, including formatting, length, and scope.
  Originality: The editorial team screens the papers for originality and checks for plagiarism using reliable plagiarism detection software. Any paper found with significant overlap with existing works may be rejected without further review.
  Relevance: The paper’s relevance to the conference themes (Renewable Energy, Power Engineering, and Sustainable Engineering) is assessed to ensure a suitable fit for ICREPSE2024.
  Papers that pass this initial screening move on to the peer review phase.
  
  Step 2: Peer Review Process
  In the peer review phase, each paper is assigned to two to three independent reviewers who are experts in the specific subject area of the paper. The reviewers are selected based on their expertise and familiarity with the latest research trends. The double-blind review process is employed, where both the authors and the reviewers remain anonymous to each other. This ensures fairness and impartiality.
  The reviewers assess the paper based on the following criteria:
  Originality and Novelty: Does the paper present new and innovative ideas, methods, or results? Is it contributing original knowledge to the field?
  Technical Quality: Is the research methodologically sound, with appropriate data collection, analysis, and interpretation? Are the conclusions supported by the data?
  Clarity and Structure: Is the paper well-organized and clearly written? Are the research objectives, methods, results, and conclusions clearly articulated?
  Relevance and Impact: Does the paper address significant problems or challenges in renewable energy, power engineering, or sustainable engineering? Is it likely to have a substantial impact on the field or future research?
  References and Citations: Does the paper appropriately cite previous work, and does it demonstrate awareness of existing research and literature?
  
  Each reviewer provides detailed feedback and recommendations, which may include one of the following:
  
  Acceptance as is
  Acceptance with minor revisions
  Major revisions required
  Rejection
  Step 3: Revision Process
  For papers that receive feedback requesting revisions (either minor or major), the authors are required to address the reviewers' comments and submit a revised version of the paper within a specified timeline. Authors must provide a detailed response to reviewers that outlines how they have addressed each comment or justified any changes that were not made.
  Revised papers may be sent back to the same reviewers for a second evaluation to confirm that the revisions have adequately addressed the concerns raised. Papers that successfully meet the reviewers' expectations after revision are accepted for presentation and publication.
  
  Step 4: Final Decision
  
  Once the reviewers have completed their evaluations, the conference’s program committee makes the final decision based on the reviewers’ recommendations. The final decision could be:
  
  Accepted: The paper is accepted for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings.
  Rejected: The paper is declined, either due to insufficient quality, relevance, or failure to address the reviewers' concerns adequately.
  Authors will be notified of the final decision via email, along with any further instructions for the camera-ready paper submission (for accepted papers) or an explanation of why the paper was rejected.
  
  Step 5: Camera-Ready Submission
  
  For accepted papers, authors must submit a camera-ready version of their paper. This final version must incorporate all required revisions and adhere to the formatting guidelines of ICREPSE2024. The camera-ready paper will be included in the official conference proceedings.
  
  Review Transparency and Integrity
  
  The peer review process is integral to ensuring the integrity and quality of the research presented at ICREPSE2024. The entire review process is conducted with a commitment to transparency, fairness, and academic excellence. All reviews are conducted by experts in the field, and the feedback provided is intended to help authors improve the quality of their work.
  
  The conference also provides a platform for authors to engage in constructive discussions with reviewers and fellow researchers during the conference, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
