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>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>The committee operates a single / double-blind peer review process for all the abstracts submitted, where both the reviewer and the author remain anonymous.</p> <p><strong>The following are the steps that each abstract of ICOCD-2025 undergoes during the process of peer review:</strong></p> <div> <p>✔ All submitted abstracts are reviewed by internal editorial team to ensure adherence to the conference scope and abstracts which have passed this initial screening are then assigned to the session chair / review committee for evaluation.<br> ✔ The session chair / review committee decides whether reviews from appropriate independent experts / reviewers are needed to evaluate the abstract. External reviewer (s) evaluate majority of the submissions, but it is up to the session chair / review committee to determine the number of reviews required.<br> ✔ 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 revision or major revision, authors will be given 14 days to resubmit the revised abstract.</p> </div> <p>Abstracts submitted by invited and/or keynote speakers will be reviewed by conference chairman.</p> <p><strong>Criteria to be Considered for Scoring</strong> <p> <p>The abstract should be reviewed according to the following criteria:</p> <div> <p>✔ Originality of concept/approach and level of innovativeness<br> ✔ Significance/impact/relevance to conference theme<br> ✔ Quality of research design/theoretical argument<br> ✔ Conclusions and interpretations of results<br> ✔ Presentation style: coherence and clarity of structure</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <footer id="footer" class="footer bg-overlay"> <div class="footer-main"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-between"> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 footer-widget footer-about"> <h3 class="widget-title">Information</h3> <img loading="lazy" class="footer-logo" src="images/logo-footer.png" alt="ICOCD"> <p>USG United Scientific Group, A non-profit organization, 8105, Suite 112, Rasor Blvd, Plano, TX 75024, United States</p> <p><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> <a href="mailto:obesity@uniscigroup.org" class="text-white text-decoration-none">obesity@uniscigroup.org</a></p> <p><i class="fa fa-phone"></i><a href="tel:+1-469-854-2280/81" class="text-white text-decoration-none"> +1-469-854-2280/81</a></p> </div><!-- Col end --> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 mt-5 mt-lg-0 footer-widget"> <h3 class="widget-title">Quick Links</h3> <ul class="list-arrow"> <li><a href="about">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="featured-speakers">Featured Speakers</a></li> <li><a href="organizing-committee">Committee</a></li> <li><a href="abstract_submission">Abstract Submission</a></li> <li><a href="registration_form">Register</a></li> </ul> </div><!-- Col end --> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6 mt-5 mt-lg-0 footer-widget"> <h3 class="widget-title">Subscribe Us</h3> <div class="footer-item bg-dark p-4 rounded-3"> <div id="enqmsg" class="text-primary"></div> <div id="enqmsg" class="text-primary"></div> <form id="enqform" name="enqform" method="post" class="enquiryform"> <div class="mb-3"> <label for="name" class="form-label text-white fs-5">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="enqname" id="enqname" class="form-control py-2 rounded" placeholder="Enter your name" required> </div> <div class="mb-3"> <label for="email" class="form-label text-white fs-5">Email:</label> <input type="enqemail" name="email" id="enqemail" class="form-control py-2 rounded" placeholder="Enter your email" required> </div> <div> <button onclick="return enquiry();" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary w-35 py-2">Subscribe</button> </div> </form> </div> </div> </div><!-- Row end --> </div><!-- Container end --> </div><!-- Footer main end --> <div class="copyright bg-warning text-dark"> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-between"> <div class="col-md-6 text-center text-md-left"> <p>Powered by USG © <script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear())</script> <a href="https://icocd.unitedscientificgroup.org/2025" class="text-dark text-decoration-none"></a>.
