Plagiarism, in which one misrepresents ideas, words, computer codes or other creative expression as one's own, is a clear violation of such ethical principles. Plagiarism can also represent a violation of copyright law, punishable by statute. Plagiarism manifests itself in a variety of forms, including Verbatim copying, near-verbatim copying, or purposely paraphrasing portions of another author's paper; Copying elements of another author's paper, such as equations or illustrations that are not common knowledge, or copying or purposely paraphrasing sentences without citing the source; and Verbatim copying of portions of another author's paper with citing but not clearly differentiating what text has been copied (e.g., not applying quotation marks correctly) and/or not citing the source correctly. Self-plagiarism is a related issue. In this document we define self-plagiarism as the verbatim or near-verbatim reuse of significant portions of one's own copyrighted work without citing the original source. Note that self-plagiarism does not apply to publications based on the author's own previously copyrighted work (e.g., appearing in a conference proceedings) where an explicit reference is made to the prior publication. Such reuse does not require quotation marks to delineate the reused text but does require that the source be cited. All authors are deemed to be individually and collectively responsible for the content of papers published by International Science Index. Hence, it is the responsibility of each author to ensure that papers submitted to International Science Index attain the highest ethical standards with respect to plagiarism. International Science Index place the investigation of each claim of plagiarism at the highest priority for resolution and action. </div> </div> <div class="mb-3"> <a class="d-block" data-toggle="collapse" href="#faq105" role="button">The Case for Open Access Publishing</a> <div class="collapse" id="faq105"> Open Access stands for unrestricted access and unrestricted reuse.

When you share information with us, for example by creating a WASET.org Account, we can make those services even better – to show you more relevant search results and ads, to help you connect with people or to make sharing with others quicker and easier. As you use our services, we want you to be clear how we’re using information and the ways in which you can protect your privacy. Our Privacy Policy explains: What information we collect and why we collect it. How we use that information. The choices we offer, including how to access and update information. We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you’re not familiar with terms like cookies, IP addresses, pixel tags and browsers, then read about these key terms first. Your privacy matters to WASET.org so whether you are new to WASET.org or a long-time user, please do take the time to get to know our practices – and if you have any questions contact us. Information we collect We collect information to provide better services to all of our users – from figuring out basic stuff like which language you speak, to more complex things like which ads you’ll find most useful or the people who matter most to you online. We collect information in two ways: Information you give us. For example, many of our services require you to sign up for a WASET.org Account. When you do, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, email address, telephone number or credit card. If you want to take full advantage of the sharing features we offer, we might also ask you to create a publicly visible WASET.org Profile, which may include your name and photo. Information we get from your use of our services. We may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you visit a website that uses our advertising services or you view and interact with our ads and content. This information includes: Device information We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number). WASET.org may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your WASET.org Account. Log information When you use our services or view content provided by WASET.org, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This may include: details of how you used our service, such as your search queries. telephony log information like your phone number, calling-party number, forwarding numbers, time and date of calls, duration of calls, SMS routing information and types of calls. Internet protocol address. device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and referral URL. cookies that may uniquely identify your browser or your WASET.org Account. Location information When you use a location-enabled WASET.org service, we may collect and process information about your actual location, like GPS signals sent by a mobile device. We may also use various technologies to determine location, such as sensor data from your device that may, for example, provide information on nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers. Unique application numbers Certain services include a unique application number. This number and information about your installation (for example, the operating system type and application version number) may be sent to WASET.org when you install or uninstall that service or when that service periodically contacts our servers, such as for automatic updates. Local storage We may collect and store information (including personal information) locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5) and application data caches. Cookies and anonymous identifiers We use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit a WASET.org service, and this may include sending one or more cookies or anonymous identifiers to your device. We also use cookies and anonymous identifiers when you interact with services we offer to our partners, such as advertising services or WASET.org features that may appear on other sites. How we use information we collect We use the information we collect from all of our services to provide, maintain, protect and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect WASET.org and our users. We also use this information to offer you tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads. We may use the name you provide for your WASET.org Profile across all of the services we offer that require a WASET.org Account. In addition, we may replace past names associated with your WASET.org Account so that you are represented consistently across all our services. If other users already have your email, or other information that identifies you, we may show them your publicly visible WASET.org Profile information, such as your name and photo. When you contact WASET.org, we may keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements. We use information collected from cookies and other technologies, like pixel tags, to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services. For example, by saving your language preferences, we’ll be able to have our services appear in the language you prefer. When showing you tailored ads, we will not associate a cookie or anonymous identifier with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation or health. We may combine personal information from one service with information, including personal information, from other WASET.org services – for example to make it easier to share things with people you know. We will not combine DoubleClick cookie information with personally identifiable information unless we have your opt-in consent. We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy. WASET.org processes personal information on our servers in many countries around the world. We may process your personal information on a server located outside the country where you live. Transparency and choice People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used. For example, you can: Review and control certain types of information tied to your WASET.org Account by using WASET.org Dashboard. View and edit your ads preferences, such as which categories might interest you, using the Ads Preferences Manager. You can also opt out of certain WASET.org advertising services here. Use our editor to see and adjust how your WASET.org Profile appears to particular individuals. Control who you share information with. Take information out of many of our services. You may also set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us. However, it’s important to remember that many of our services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. For example, we may not remember your language preferences. Information you share Many of our services let you share information with others. Remember that when you share information publicly, it may be indexable by search engines, including WASET.org. Our services provide you with different options on sharing and removing your content. Accessing and updating your personal information Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before we can act on your request. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, developing a new system or fundamentally changing an existing practice), risk the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes). Where we can provide information access and correction, we will do so for free, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our services, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may not remove information from our backup systems. Information we share We do not share personal information with companies, organizations and individuals outside of WASET.org unless one of the following circumstances apply: With your consent We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of WASET.org when we have your consent to do so. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information. With domain administrators If your WASET.org Account is managed for you by a domain administrator (for example, for WASET.org Apps users) then your domain administrator and resellers who provide user support to your organization will have access to your WASET.org Account information (including your email and other data). Your domain administrator may be able to: view statistics regarding your account, like statistics regarding applications you install. change your account password. suspend or terminate your account access. access or retain information stored as part of your account. receive your account information in order to satisfy applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request. restrict your ability to delete or edit information or privacy settings. Please refer to your domain administrator’s privacy policy for more information. For external processing We provide personal information to our affiliates or other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. For legal reasons We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of WASET.org if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to: meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request. enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations. detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues. protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of WASET.org, our users or the public as required or permitted by law. We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners – like publishers, advertisers or connected sites. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services. If WASET.org is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy. Information security We work hard to protect WASET.org and our users from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of information we hold. In particular: We encrypt many of our services using SSL. We offer you two step verification when you access your WASET.org Account, and a Safe Browsing feature in WASET.org web site. We review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems. We restrict access to personal information to WASET.org employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations. Application Our Privacy Policy applies to all of the services offered by WASET.org and its affiliates, including services offered on other sites (such as our advertising services), but excludes services that have separate privacy policies that do not incorporate this Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or sites that may be displayed to you in search results, sites that may include WASET.org services, or other sites linked from our services. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies and organizations who advertise our services, and who may use cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads. Enforcement We regularly review our compliance with our Privacy Policy. We also adhere to several self regulatory frameworks. When we receive formal written complaints, we will contact the person who made the complaint to follow up. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that we cannot resolve with our users directly. Changes Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of privacy policy changes). We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review. </div> </div> <div class="mb-3"> <a class="d-block" data-toggle="collapse" href="#faq102" role="button">Nondiscrimination Policy </a> <div class="collapse" id="faq102"> <div style='white-space: pre-wrap; ' >Nondiscrimination Policy World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology is committed to the principle that all persons shall have equal access to programs, facilities, services, and employment without regard to personal characteristics not related to ability, performance, or qualifications as determined by World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology policy and/or applicable laws. World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology prohibits discrimination, harassment and bullying against any person because of age, ancestry, color, disability or handicap, national origin, race, religion, gender, sexual or affectional orientation, gender identity, appearance, matriculation, political affiliation, marital status, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law. World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology expects that its employees, volunteers, members, and other constituents of the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, when and where ever those individuals are conducting World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology business or participating in World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology events or activities, shall maintain an environment free of discrimination, including harassment, bullying, or retaliation. Definitions: Discrimination is defined as treating people differently, either preferentially or with adverse impact, because they have similar characteristics or because they are from specific groups, unless differential treatment is reasonable, essential and directly related to conducting World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology business. Harassment is one form of discrimination. Harassment is defined as conduct that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's participation in World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology activities or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. Harassment occurs when submission to or rejection of such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's participation in World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology activities or used as a basis for decisions affecting that individual’s relationship to the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology. Bullying is one form of harassment. Bullying consists of waging an ongoing and systematic campaign of interpersonal destruction against an individual or group of individuals that a reasonable person would find hostile, offensive and unrelated to an World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology’s legitimate business interests on the basis of one of the protected classes above. It tends to be an accumulation of many incidences over a long period of time, including treatment which persistently provokes, pressures, frightens, intimidates or otherwise discomforts another person. Retaliation is defined as punitive actions taken against persons for exercising their employee or other rights under the laws in good faith, reporting violations of the laws to the proper authorities (i.e. “whistle-blowing”) and/or participating in administrative or legal proceedings as a plaintiff. complainant or witness. Mediation and Enforcement: The World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology Human Resources Department shall have the primary responsibility for oversight of this policy including resolving complaints of discrimination, harassment, bullying, and retaliation. Any person who believes that he or she has been the victim of illegal discrimination or harassment should contact World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology Staff Director – Human Resources, from <a href='/profile/messages'>contact form</a>. An investigation shall be conducted to reach a determination on the merits of allegations. Such an investigation may be conducted by World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology staff, legal counsel, volunteers, private investigators or other individuals deemed qualified to do so. If there is evidence of discrimination, harassment, bullying, and/or retaliation, World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology shall make every reasonable effort to ensure the discrimination, harassment, bullying or retaliation immediately stops and does not recur. The complainant shall be informed of the corrective measures taken. Disciplinary sanctions for violation of policy, which may range from disciplinary warning to termination or expulsion from World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, will be imposed in accordance with applicable World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology policies. The World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology President shall be informed of all allegations. If the complaint is against the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology President then the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology Board of Directors shall be informed. World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology prohibits retaliation and discourages any behavior that might be perceived as retaliatory in nature. Retaliation shall constitute a separate violation and may result in a sanction independent of the outcome of a complaint. </div> </div> </div> <div class="mb-3"> <a class="d-block" data-toggle="collapse" href="#faq132" role="button">Legal inquiries</a> <div class="collapse" id="faq132"> If you have inquiries about legal causes, you can mail <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c6afa8a0a986b1a7b5a3b2e8a9b4a1">[email protected]</a>.

Preparation of your e-Poster ?</a> <div class="collapse" id="faq41"> <p><b>e-Poster Presentation</b><br /> <br /> The final program will contain dedicated slots for you to present your e-Poster during an oral presentation. You will be given a dedicated five minutes slot in which you can present your research results. As basis you are only allowed to use your e-Poster presentation. As time is very tight you should be very concise in what you are going to communicate. Use your time slot and concentrate on the “WOW” results you obtained with your work. Visuals might make the difference to other work and underline your results.To complement your e-Poster presentation and to make it available to a broader audience, authors are requested to provide a five slide presentation file (Accepted formats are: .pptx, pdf) including multimedia material. This e-Poster will be displayed in the e-Poster presentation on a large screen in the meeting room. You can also prepare supplementary multimedia (MM) or video material that replaces your five slides. However, any replacing video material should contain the same level of information indicated in the subsequent preparation guidelines and must not exceed five minutes of duration.<br /> <br /> <b>Preparation of your e-Poster</b><br /> <br /> If your work is accepted as an e-Poster, you will be required to prepare the final print-ready full text paper for publication and e-Poster following the specifications in the acceptance notification. e-Poster presentations must be prepared by the following means:<br /> <br /> Each e-Poster presentation shall be introduced by a title slide including the title of the paper, author(s), affiliation(s), city and country. It might be accompanied by a picture or a video showcasing your work.<br /> An e-Poster must not exceed five slides and should contain the necessary content, approach and obtained results in an intriguing way. You can use multimedia content being integrated into your e-Poster showing animations, simulations or other content. Please note: If you include video material in each of the slides, we will only accept MM presentations that might not exceed 1 minute duration per slide.<br /> The e-poster contains a three column format. Each column can be subdivided and may conveniently be divided into sections, starting with a</p> <ul> <li>Problem Description and Challenges</li> <li>Your approach/method,</li> <li>Results / evaluation, and ending with a Conclusion.</li> </ul> <p>Please, try to use a standard MM format for your e-Poster:</p> <ul> <li>Images: high-resolution images in one of these formats: TIFF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF.</li> <li>Video: In Microsoft formats (i.e. .asf, .wmv), QuickTime, MPEG-4, or DivX Version 5 (or later) formats. The total length of all videos should not exceed five minutes.</li> </ul> <p>You might also prepare a replacement for the slide presentation embedding one video into one slide. Any replacing video material should contain the same level of information as indicated above (i.e. title of the paper, author(s), affiliation(s), city and country, problem statement and challenges, your approach/method, results/evaluation, conclusion) and must not exceed five minutes of duration.</p> </div> </div> <div class="mb-3"> <a class="d-block" data-toggle="collapse" href="#faq19" role="button">How long is the oral presentation ?
