Scientific Group and the organizing committee members of Polymers-2025 ensure a rigorous, high-quality, and unbiased peer review process for all abstracts submitted to the conference. The decision of abstract acceptance will be judged by a panel of expert reviewers and/or session chair and/or conference chairman, emphasizing whether the findings and/or conclusions are novel and make useful contributions to the field.</p> <p class="text-justify">The committee will determine whether the abstract is more appropriate for oral or poster presentation. Eligibility for oral or poster presentation will be determined by the total score (with adjustment for differential scoring behavior between referees).</p> <p class="text-justify">The committee operates a single or double-blind peer review process for all the abstracts submitted, where both the reviewer and the author remain anonymous.</p> <div class="mb-4"> <h4>Peer Review Process Steps</h4> <ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item">✔ All submitted abstracts are reviewed by the internal editorial team to ensure adherence to the conference scope. Abstracts passing this initial screening are assigned to the session chair/review committee for evaluation.</li> <li class="list-group-item">✔ The session chair/review committee decides whether reviews from appropriate independent experts/reviewers are needed to evaluate the abstract. External reviewers evaluate the majority of the submissions, but the session chair/review committee determines the number of reviews required.</li> <li class="list-group-item">✔ Once the reviews have been received, the session chair/review committee decides to accept or reject a manuscript, or to request revisions from the author in response to the reviewers’ comments. If the decision is minor or major revision, authors will have 14 days to resubmit the revised abstract.</li> </ul> </div> <p>Abstracts submitted by invited and/or keynote speakers will be reviewed by the conference chairman.</p> <div class="mb-4"> <h4>Criteria for Scoring</h4> <p>The abstract should be reviewed according to the following criteria:</p> <ul class="list-group"> <li class="list-group-item">✔ Originality of concept/approach and level of innovativeness</li> <li class="list-group-item">✔ Significance/impact/relevance to conference theme</li> <li class="list-group-item">✔ Quality of research design/theoretical argument</li> <li class="list-group-item">✔ Conclusions and interpretations of results</li> <li class="list-group-item">✔ Presentation style: coherence and clarity of structure</li> </ul> </div> </div><!-- Col end --> </div><!-- Content row end --> </div> <!-- Footer Start --> <div class="container-fluid bg-dark text-white footer
