Review Process

Submitted papers will undergo a review by at least two reviewers. The review criteria include quality, relevance, originality and correctness. For this conference,  a double blind review will be conducted; the identity of  the author(s) and both the reviewers will not be disclosed. Only anonymised submissions will be considered.

Submission Guidelines

A soft-copy of the full-length manuscripts in APA format should be submitted electronically via Microsoft CMT through Link: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ETPW2026

During the initial manuscript submission process via Microsoft CMT, it is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that all the authors’ names are included in the Microsoft CMT submission page, and NOT in the paper. In particular, the Microsoft CMT registration page must include all co-authors, not just the submitting author. Failure to comply with this rule might result in your paper being withdrawn from the review process. Please be aware that the author list of an accepted paper cannot be changed in the final manuscript.

The maximum length for each paper can be 10 pages. The improvement of an article may be achieved in the following ways (i) more attention to language (ii) more attention to the logical coherence among the sections of the article (iii) attention to detect possible plagiarism.

Manuscript preparation

The manuscript should include a separate title page with the name of the author(s) and
affiliations.

Author identification notes should be typed only on the title page. E-mail address of
the corresponding author may please be provided.
The manuscript should be typed in 1.5 line spacing in Arial, Font size 11.
Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association (7th ed.).

Guidelines for preserving anonymity with double-blind submission:

• The names and affiliations of authors should be removed from the title page of the Word or PDF file that will be submitted for review. This information needs to be included in the final camera-ready manuscript if the paper gets accepted. For the initial review of the manuscript, authors need to include all the author details only at the Microsoft CMT registration page. The Word/PDF file of the manuscript  which is submitted for initial review  should not contain any identifying  information.
• Acknowledgments of identifying names and funding sources should be removed from the paper that  will be submitted for review. This information can be included in the final camera ready manuscript if the paper gets accepted.
• Project titles or names that can be used to trace authors via a web search engine should also be deleted.
• Papers with the same title and abstract should not be posted on a public website, such as arxiv.org, or transmitted via public mailing lists.​
