Duties of Publisher

Publication Decisions
Proceedings of International Agriculture Innovation Conference editorial team, in consultation with the proceedings editor, is responsible for deciding which submitted articles should be published. The editorial team may confer with the proceedings editor and will strongly consider peer reviewers’ comments and recommendations as part of this decision-making process.

Submitted papers will be evaluated according to their intellectual merit, without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, political philosophy, or institutional affiliation of the author(s).

Confidentiality
Editorial staffs will not disclose any information about a submitted paper to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, or other editorial advisors.

Disclosures of Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished material must not be used in an editor’s own research without the written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions
Recommendations by anonymous peer reviewers are the single most important determining factor in whether a paper is accepted for publication. They may also help the author improve a paper that has been accepted pending revisions.

Promptness
Peer reviewers are asked to complete their reviews within three to four weeks of receiving a refereeing assignment. If they cannot complete the report within three to four weeks, they may ask for an extension.

Confidentiality
Any paper received for review will be treated as confidential. It must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by Proceedings of International Agriculture Innovation Conference editorial team.

Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources and Identification of Possible Plagiarism
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Reports of statements, observations, or arguments that have been noted elsewhere should be accompanied by a relevant citation. A reviewer should also call the editor’s attention to any substantial similarity or overlap between the paper under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
If a peer reviewer feels unqualified to review a particular paper, he or she must notify the editor of Proceedings of International Agriculture Innovation Conference to be excused from the assignment. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not be used for personal benefit. Reviewers should not consider papers in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, our institutions connected to the papers under review.

Duties of Authors

In cases of proven plagiarism or non-response/non-adequate response, the offending paper will be retracted and a statement from the publisher will be issued.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication
