Yuktan Technologies Pte Ltd and the organizing committee members of BES-2026 ensures
a rigorous, high-quality and unbiased peer review process for all abstracts submitted to the conference.
The decision of abstract acceptance will be judged by a panel of expert reviewers and / or session chair
and / or conference chairman emphasizing whether the findings and / or conclusions are novel and make
useful contributions to the field.
The committee will determine whether the abstract is more appropriate for oral or
poster presentation. Eligibility for oral or poster presentation will be determined by the total score
(with adjustment for differential scoring behavior between referees).
The committee operates a single / double-blind peer review process for all the
abstracts submitted, where both the reviewer and the author remain anonymous.
The following are the steps that each abstract of BES-2026 undergoes during
the process of peer review:
Peer Review Process Steps
- ✔ All submitted abstracts are reviewed by the internal editorial team to
ensure adherence to the conference scope. Abstracts passing this initial screening are assigned
to the session chair/review committee for evaluation.
- ✔ The session chair/review committee decides whether reviews from
appropriate independent experts/reviewers are needed to evaluate the abstract. External
reviewers evaluate the majority of the submissions, but the session chair/review committee
determines the number of reviews required.
- ✔ Once the reviews have been received, the session chair/review
committee decides to accept or reject a manuscript, or to request revisions from the author in
response to the reviewers’ comments. If the decision is minor or major revision, authors will
have 14 days to resubmit the revised abstract.
Abstracts submitted by invited and/or keynote speakers will be reviewed by the conference chairman.
Criteria for Scoring
The abstract should be reviewed according to the following criteria:
- ✔ Originality of concept/approach and level of innovativeness
- ✔ Significance/impact/relevance to conference theme
- ✔ Quality of research design/theoretical argument
- ✔ Conclusions and interpretations of results
- ✔ Presentation style: coherence and clarity of structure
