The 3^rd International Conference "Coordinating Engineering for Sustainability and Resilience" CESARE'22 follows the highest standards of publication ethics and it takes all measures necessary to prevent publication misconduct.

Our committee does not accept any type of plagiarism. This means that works replicating another author's work without acknowledging him/her shall be automatically disqualified. All authors submitting their papers to CESARE'22 affirm that their papers are their own creations and have not been copied in whole or in part from other works.

Each paper is reviewed anonymously by at least two independent reviewers to ensure the final high standard and quality of the CESARE'22. The communication between the reviewers and authors is managed by and conducted through the editor-in-chief.

The Conference Editors, Conference committees, and the Reviewers are the body to ultimately decide which papers are publishable in CESARE'22. Their decision is based on a number of factors: compliance with formal requirements, possession of permits to reprint/republish excerpts in the papers, relevance of the paper in terms of scientific research the following Engineering disciplines:  

·   Structural materials

·   Structural engineering

·   Structural robustness

·   Earthquake engineering

·   Fire engineering    

·   Climate changes

·   Risk management

·   Geotechnical engineering

·   Building physics  

·   Environmental engineering 

·   Fluid mechanics

·   Transportation and Electric transportation

·   Sustainable product design

·   Industrial ecology

·   Design strategies for product design and engineering

·   Sustainability from the health perspective

·   Road management

·   Restoration and rehabilitation of monuments and historical buildings

·   Energy systems / Sustainable energy systems

·   Electric power

·   Renewable energy

·   Wind energy structures

·   Energy islands

·   Facade engineering

·   Green technology for civil and aeronautical engineering

·   Advanced reactors and safety

·   Green buildings

·   Waste management 

In the reviewing process, the reviewers help the author improve the paper to match the respective requirements, objectify the research findings, etc. The papers received/reviewed by the reviewers are treated with confidentiality.

Duties of Conference Editors

The conference editors of CESARE'22 are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the conference should be published. The conference editors at any time evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Duties of Authors

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior are unacceptable.

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

An author should not, in general, publish articles describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the CESARE'22 editor and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

The author intends not to use any copyrighted material for the publication or, if not possible, to indicate the copyright of the respective object.

The copyright for any material created by the author is reserved. Any duplication or use of objects such as images, diagrams, sounds, or texts in other electronic or printed publications is not permitted without the author's agreement.

Review Process

After preliminarily editors' evaluation, the papers which are considered suitable for possible publication will be transferred to the review stage. In this stage, two referees will be invited to review the article submission. When their reports have been completed, the author will be informed of the editor's decision considering the papers' final acceptability for publication in the CESARE'22.

Reviewers evaluate manuscripts using several criteria including originality of the works, scholarly relevance, professional relevance, completeness of the works, acknowledgment of the works of others by references, organization of the manuscripts, and clarity in writing, tables, graphs, and illustrations.

Duties of Reviewers

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a paper or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself/herself from the review process.

Any papers received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

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

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. 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, or institutions connected to the papers.​
