  • each paper is evaluated by at least 2 independent reviewers;
  • reviewers are selected based on expertise and absence of conflicts of interest.
Evaluation Criteria

Submissions are evaluated according to:

  • originality and novelty;
  • technical and scientific quality;
  • methodological rigor;
  • relevance to conference themes;
  • clarity of presentation;
  • practical or theoretical contribution.
Decision Process

Final decisions are made by the Program Chairs based on reviewer reports and discussion outcomes.

Possible decisions:

  • Accept
  • Accept with minor revisions
  • Reject

To reviewer feedbacks for preparing a camera-ready paper you MUST take into account the following acceptance criteria for the CEUR publications:

Paper Structure should generally include: Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Related Works; Proposed methodology/model/technique; Results/Discussions; Conclusion; References.

The references list MUST NOT be very short or long without the need, the authors ARE OBLIGED to use the results of international research. Authors SHOULD NOT use references only to a narrow circle of authors from their educational institution or several institutions. Usually self-citation MUST NOT exceed 20%. References should be, mostly, modern, NOT OLDER than 5-8 years. One cascade (group) citation should consist of not more than 3 sources.

English MUST BE proofread.

The paper MUST follow the formatting rules. Please, pay your attention especially on font’s size and style used for paper title and section/subsection headers, figure and table captions. Please, double-check formatting style of the list of references.

All references should be presented in English and if it is strongly necessary – with notation (in Ukrainian), etc.

The quality of all figures should be very high for good reproduction during CEUR publication. All illustrative figures should be provided by caption signatures. All abbreviations should be preliminary explained. The size of the letters and numbers in the formulas and in the formulas’ fragments in the text should be the same.

The title of paper should be not very long (until 13 words including THE, IN, FOR, etc.) and should be exactly corresponded to the research results which are discussed in the paper. Please, avoid using same words in the title of paper twice.

The number of authors should not exceed 5 сo-authors.

The result of the reviewing will be announced to the submitting authors by email, along with reviewer comments, if any.

Authors of papers accepted for publication must take into account all the reviewers comments in their papers and upload the final versions via Microsoft CMT in .pdf format.

We require that authors of all accepted for publication papers (based on the review results) additionally send their papers to the conferense mail citiconf@tntu.edu.ua  in ODT format (for LibreOffice) so that we can make corrections if necessary in accordance with CEUR-WS requests.

Accepted papers which will be presented at the workshops shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication.

IMPORTANT

CEUR-WS supports the publication of computer-science workshops. Note that CEUR-WS demand that each paper has at least one author with at least 5 papers listed in DBLP (DBLP.org). Authors should not include ArXiv and other non peer-reviewed papers in the number of DBLP papers.

If this condition is not met, or we cannot verify it, the corresponding paper will not be submitted for peer-review and will be rejected by the program committee.
