As an online conference designed to connect authors directly with our affiliated publication partners, all submitted manuscripts are subject to the peer-review policies, timelines, and evaluation criteria of the respective targeted journals.
The 2026 International Conference on Advanced Energy, Environment and Materials (ICAEEM 26) does not manage an independent review process. Instead, peer review is conducted entirely by the editorial boards and external expert reviewers chosen by the journals (PEMA or Energy Engineering) via the GFA platform to ensure high academic standards, originality, and technical quality.
Journal Review Process & Model
Because submissions go directly through the individual journal tracks, authors must adhere to the specific review models of their chosen outlet:
Journal-Specific Evaluation: Each manuscript will be evaluated by independent, external reviewers who are experts in the specific engineering or environmental research area, according to the standard workflow of that journal.
Review Criteria: Reviewers typically assess submissions based on originality, technical methodology, clarity, contribution to the field, and alignment with the journal’s scope.
Review Model: Depending on the selected journal’s policy (e.g., single-blind or double-blind), reviewer identities may be kept strictly confidential. Please check your target journal’s portal on GFA for their exact review model specifications.
Publication & Final Decisions
Final Authority: The editorial boards of the respective journals hold sole and final authority regarding the acceptance, required revision, or rejection of any submitted paper.
Conference Integration: Presentation slots at the online ICAEEM 26 conference are contingent upon meeting the baseline criteria of the journal submission pipeline.
Academic & Ethical Standards
All submissions must represent original work that has not been previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Both the conference and its partner journals strictly enforce standard academic ethical guidelines, including:
Absolute zero tolerance for plagiarism.
Rigorous data integrity and validation.
Proper, accurate citation of all external sources.
Submissions found to be violating these ethical guidelines will be rejected immediately at any stage of the journal evaluation process.
Confidentiality
All submitted manuscripts are treated as strictly confidential documents. Journal editors and their designated reviewers are bound by professional confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from sharing or utilizing the content of submitted papers prior to official publication.
