Abstract Review Process
The International Conference on Social, Politics, and Law Sciences is committed to maintaining high standards of academic quality, integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct. All submitted papers will undergo a structured review process to ensure their academic relevance, originality, methodological soundness, and ethical compliance.
1. Manuscript Submission
Authors submit their manuscripts through the designated conference submission system in accordance with the conference guidelines and formatting requirements. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that the work is original, has not been submitted or published elsewhere, and that all authors have approved the submission.
2. Initial Editorial Screening
Upon submission, each manuscript undergoes an initial screening by the Conference Committee or Editorial Team to assess:
• Relevance to the conference theme and scope;
• Compliance with the required manuscript format;
• Completeness of the submission;
• Basic academic quality and clarity; and
• Potential plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct.
• Manuscripts that do not meet the basic submission requirements may be returned to the authors for correction or rejected before entering the peer-review process.
3. Plagiarism and Similarity Check
All submitted manuscripts may be subjected to a plagiarism or similarity check using an appropriate similarity-detection tool. The Conference Committee reserves the right to request revisions, clarification, or reject a manuscript where substantial plagiarism or academic misconduct is identified.Similarity results are considered together with the context and nature of the matched material and are not used as the sole basis for an editorial decision.
4. Ethical Screening
For research involving human participants, personal or sensitive data, interviews, surveys, focus group discussions, or other ethically sensitive research activities, the Conference Committee may require authors to provide information regarding ethical approval and informed consent, where applicable.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their research complies with relevant institutional, national, and international ethical standards.Research that does not involve human participants or identifiable personal data may be considered not subject to ethical review, depending on the nature of the study and applicable institutional requirements.
5. Blind Peer Review
Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will undergo blind peer review.Each manuscript will normally be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers with relevant expertise in the subject area. The identities of the authors and reviewers will be kept confidential throughout the review process.
Reviewers will evaluate manuscripts based on criteria including:
• Relevance to the conference theme;
• Originality and novelty;
• Quality and adequacy of the literature review;
• Research design and methodology;
• Quality of results and analysis;
• Discussion and interpretation;
• Academic contribution and significance;
• Quality of conclusions and recommendations; and
• Clarity and quality of academic presentation.
6. Reviewer Recommendations
Following the peer-review process, reviewers may recommend one of the following decisions:
• Accept
• Accept with Minor Revisions

The final decision will be made by the Conference Committee or designated Editorial Team based on the reviewers' evaluations and comments.
7. Revision Process
If revisions are required, authors will receive the reviewers’ comments and a specified deadline to submit the revised manuscript.
Authors are expected to address the reviewers' comments carefully and, where appropriate, provide a clear response explaining how each issue has been addressed.
For manuscripts requiring substantial revision, the revised version may be returned to the original reviewers for further evaluation.
8. Final Decision
After the review and revision process has been completed, the Conference Committee or Editorial Team will issue the final decision by emailA manuscript will be accepted for presentation and possible publication only after it has satisfied the academic, ethical, and editorial requirements of the conference.

A reviewer who has a personal, professional, institutional, or other significant conflict of interest with the authors or the research should decline the review assignment.
10. Academic Integrity
