Peer-Reviewed Proceedings: All accepted papers presented at ICRD conferences will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure academic quality and integrity. Papers deemed suitable for publication will be included in the conference proceedings.
Open Access: We believe in the principles of open access and aim to make conference proceedings freely available to the global research community. Authors will retain copyright of their work, granting ICRD permission to publish and distribute the proceedings.
Publication Opportunities: In addition to conference proceedings, selected high-quality papers may be invited for publication in reputable journals or edited volumes following further peer review and revision, providing authors with extended visibility and impact for their research.
Author Responsibility: Authors are responsible for ensuring the originality and accuracy of their submissions. Plagiarism or any form of academic misconduct will not be tolerated and may result in the rejection of the paper and exclusion from future ICRD events.
Ethical Standards: Authors must adhere to ethical standards in research and publishing. Any conflicts of interest or sources of funding must be disclosed. Authors are also expected to respect the confidentiality of peer review and maintain academic integrity in their submissions.
Transparency and Accountability: The publication process will be transparent, with clear guidelines provided to authors regarding submission requirements, review criteria, and publication timelines. Any disputes or concerns regarding the publication process will be addressed promptly and fairly by the ICRD Publication Committee.
Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously improving our publication policies and practices to ensure they align with best practices in scholarly publishing and meet the evolving needs of the research community.
By adhering to these publication policies, ICRD aims to promote high-quality research, foster academic collaboration, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in gender and women's studies.
