If you face any issue when reviewing the papers, please ensure that you have followed the instructions on this page. If the issue persists, contact us at icegov@icegov.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EDAS &#8211; Conference and Journal Management System<\/strong> is the platform used by the conference to access and review all papers. <strong>No other means of submitting reviews are allowed. <\/strong>Each PC Member (reviewer) is responsible for providing a useful review that contains important feedback for the authors and comments, suggestions or recommendations towards improving their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anonimity\">Anonimity \/ Confidenciality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference&#8217;s review process is entirely confidential and anonymous in what is known as a <strong>double-blind peer-review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The identities of reviewers and authors are not revealed throughout the entire process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All submitted papers are treated as confidential documents. It is expected that all intervening actors treat these documents as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer-review must not be used for personal competitive gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"coi\">Conflicts of Interest (COI)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All intervening actors in the review process should disclose conflicts of interest resulting from direct competitive, collaborative, and other relationships with any of the authors, and remove themselves from the process. Although EDAS automatically prevents most COI through a series of checks, it is not 100% efficient. As such, any reviewer who detects a potential conflict of interest when reviewing a paper should contact email icegov@icegov.org. Examples of COI include, but are not limited to, the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Associated through dissertation \/ thesis supervising, including chair-student relationships and reviewer-student relationships (limited to the previous five-year period);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Published co-authors (limited to the previous three-year period);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Currently working together on research projects;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collocated at the same institution at the time of paper submission;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Link through reviewing of a previous version of the author&#8217;s paper at another publication venue;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family member or close relative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overview\">Submitting the Review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to review a paper, first you need to login to EDAS.
