Publishing Policies & Academic Ethics
Fundamental editorial principles, COPE ethical framework, double-blind peer review methodology, and Open Access standards
1. Platform Overview & Academic Mission
International Proceedings is a premier global academic publishing platform dedicated to hosting and disseminating peer-reviewed proceedings from leading international scientific conferences organized across London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Helsinki.
Our mission is to foster cross-border academic exchange, provide persistent CrossRef Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for all accepted papers, and ensure permanent inclusion in top international indexing repositories such as Google Scholar, Zenodo (CERN), BASE Search, and OpenAlex.
2. Publication Ethics & Malpractice Policy (COPE Compliance)
Our publishing platform fully adheres to the Core Practices and Guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We maintain rigorous standards for academic integrity:
- Originality & Attribution: All submitted manuscripts must present authentic, original research that has not been previously published elsewhere. Proper attribution of prior work is strictly enforced.
- Data Integrity & Reproducibility: Authors are expected to maintain accurate records of supporting data and provide access upon legitimate scholarly request. Fabrication, falsification, or manipulative reporting leads to immediate rejection and institutional notification.
- Authorship Integrity: Authorship must be limited to scholars who have made substantial intellectual contributions to the research design, execution, or interpretation. Gift or ghost authorship is prohibited.
- Conflict of Interest: Authors must transparently disclose any commercial, financial, or personal relationships that could influence the impartiality of the presented work.
3. Double-Blind Peer Review & Submission Process
To ensure objective and unbiased scientific evaluation, every submission is reviewed under a strict double-blind model:
Initial Editorial Screening
Manuscript scope alignment, formatting compliance, and automated similarity check.
Double-Blind Peer Review
Independent assessment by two qualified domain experts with blinded author identities.
Editorial Decision & DOI
Acceptance notification, CrossRef DOI registration, and final Open Access publication.
4. Open Access & Archiving Policy
In support of universal scholarly exchange, all conference proceedings published on this platform are open access immediately upon publication under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).
Users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without prior permission from the publisher or the author, provided proper credit is attributed.
