Review Models

To meet the requirements of different research sponsors, publish-Ing. supports several established review standards. The applicable model is defined at submission.

Single- or Double-Blind

Single-blind (reviewer sees author identity) or double-blind (mutual anonymity) formats are supported.

One to Three Reviews per Paper

Between one and three peer reviews per submission, depending on the requirements of the venue or research sponsor.

Minimum Standard

At least one full peer review is mandatory for every submission, without exception.

Review Criteria

Every paper submitted to publish-Ing. is evaluated against the same criteria. This is the assessment every reviewer completes.

  1. Title

    Does the title reflect the contents of the paper?

  2. Comprehensibility and logical presentation

    How clearly is the paper structured and argued?

  3. Relevance and originality

    Is the topic current, and does the paper add something new?

  4. Practical relevance

    Can the findings be applied in industrial or scientific practice?

  5. Research and literature

    Does the paper demonstrate thorough research and engagement with the most relevant and latest literature?

  6. Conclusions

    Are the conclusions clear and supported by the results?

  7. Language and style

    Does the paper conform to accepted standards of academic language?

  8. Template conformity

    Does the paper follow the submission template?

  9. Open suggestions and criticism

    In addition, the reviewer can submit markups or suggestions via PDF.

Based on this assessment, the reviewer gives one of four recommendations:

Accepted — no changes necessaryAccepted — minor changes necessaryRevision required — followed by a second reviewRejected

The recommendation follows from the reviewer's overall assessment; the final publication decision rests with the editors.

Authors Responsibilities

As the author of the submitted paper, it is your responsibility to ensure that the paper contains both technically and grammatically correct content. Authors are required to write their papers in the format specified in the submission template.

All papers should be written in good English and the general good practice for scientific papers must be obeyed (e.g., ELSEVIER, DFG, Deutscher Hochschulverband). This is the responsibility of the authors, not the editors. Work below the standard will be returned to the authors for rewriting and may be rejected for this reason alone.

Mathematical formulas and equations must be presented professionally and in standard format. General format and style can be found in the provided submission template.

Editors Responsibilities

The editors' task is to ensure that the necessary procedures are carried out and that the publishing processes are conscientiously followed. With the reviews produced per paper, editors receive guidance, but have full and final authority to decide whether a contribution is accepted or rejected.

Nevertheless, it is the responsibility of authors and reviewers to ensure that all rules of good scientific practice are followed. Critical contributions are checked by the editors to the best of their knowledge and belief – in case of doubt, they are entitled to obtain a further, independent opinion in the form of a further review. Editors manage the communication with reviewers and authors as needed.

The identity of the reviewer is not disclosed. The editor can accept a paper without request for changes, ask the authors to revise and resubmit the document, or reject the paper. The editors reserve the right to edit, refine, or expand all reviews as necessary in the interest of scientific practice.

License

In order for papers to be published via publish-Ing. and the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library (TIB), the authors must transfer a right of use for their paper to the operators of publish-Ing. and the repository (Leibniz University Hannover and TIB) – for online provision on publish-Ing. and in the repository. All papers are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Germany (CC BY 3.0 DE) licence. By submitting your paper, you agree to accept the license agreement or authorize the organizers of the conference to accept it for you. Every paper is assigned an individual DOI and is available open access, with no reader fees. For more information, visit the TIB repository.
