• Follow conventions outlined in the paper template, including paragraphing, sections, sub-sections and referencing formats, use of italics, and labelling of figures and drawings
• Drawings and their labelling must be legible

Ethics

Authors of RIC2023 papers must correctly attribute knowledge or information from the works of other researchers. They must adhere to widely accepted ethical standards on identifying sources to protect against plagiarism. Authors must also disclose data sources, outline how they collected the data for their conference paper and adhere to recognized ethical research practices.

Authors must list research funding sources in their papers, including direct and indirect financial support and in-kind support. These sources may be listed under an acknowledgments section or appropriately identified in the main text.

Should reviewers seek clarification on matters such as originality or data sources, authors must promptly provide the required responses.

Review Process

RIC2023 will ensure that experts with relevant expertise review papers. The conference's reviewers will carefully read papers, treat authors fairly and provide constructive feedback. They will consider papers as confidential information and keep their identity from authors. If reviewers need clarification about any aspects or have a conflict of interest, they will immediately consult with the conference chairs.
