  Submission Preparation Checklist
  As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The manuscripts should be in Microsoft Word file format.

• Paper Selection and Publishing Process

  • Submission Acknowledgement
    When you submit a manuscript, the editor or editorial assistant sends an e-mail confirmation to the submission's author within one to three working days. If you fail to receive this confirmation, please check your bulk email box or contact the editorial assistant by email: Secretary@icbibe.org.

  • Basic Review
    The editor or editorial assistant determines whether the manuscript fits the conference's focus and scope. Next a check for the similarity rate is done using CrossCheck, powered by iThenticate. Any manuscripts out of the conference's scope or containing plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, are rejected.

  • Peer Review
    We use a double-blind system for peer review; both reviewers' and authors' identities remain anonymous. The submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least two experts: one editorial staff member as well as one to three external reviewers. The review process may take about 1 month.

  • Decision Is Made
    The decision to accept or reject an article is based on the suggestions of reviewers. If differences of opinion occur between reviewers, the editor-in-chief will weigh all comments and arrive at a balanced decision based on all comments, or a second round of peer review may be initiated.

  • Notification of the Result of Review
    The result of review will be sent to the corresponding author through email.

  • Registration Fee Is Paid
    If the submission is accepted, the authors revise paper and pay the registration fee.

  • Authors submitting the Copyright, Source Files and Proofreading
    Please click here to download the format instruction for manuscripts.
    All authors of the article please add tapsadmin@aptaracorp.awsapps.com to the whitelist of your email address. You will receive an email reminding you to submit the copyright, source files and proofreading about one and a half months before the conference. Please proofread your articles and submit the relevant documents according to the guidelines.
    (Note: The organizing committee can't do the above things for you. If the documents are not completely uploaded according to the requirements, the article will not be published. Please contact us if you have any questions.)

  • Plagiarism Detection
    All confirmed manuscripts will be checked using CrossCheck or Turnitin. There will be high risk of being rejected for publication for manuscripts with 30% or higher duplication rate. Please avoid multiple, redundant or concurrent submission and high duplication rate of your manuscript.

  • E-copy Proceedings Are Mailed
    After publication, one E-copy of the conference proceeding will be sent to the corresponding author. If you want more copies, please order at Secretary@icbibe.org.

  • Publication Notice
    The authors and readers will be notified and invited to visit our website for the newly published articles.

• About Academic Misconduct

Articles submitted to the conference should meet these criteria and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
