The Organizing Committee expects compliance with standards of ethical behavior from all parties involved: authors, editors, reviewers and publisher. Conference organizers follow Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines on how to deal with potential acts of misconduct.

All received full papers are subject to a plagiarism check with StrikePlagiarism software - the program used at the University of National and World Economy, Sofia. If plagiarism is identified, the report is removed and the author is denied participation in the conference.

After the plagiarism check, all full articles go through double-blind peer review from the International Program Committee or external reviewers depending on the topic, title and subject of the article. Peer reviewers provide a critical assessment of the paper, may recommend improvements, and suggest that the paper be: accepted as submitted; to be accepted with corrections or not to be admitted for presentation at the conference and publication. The peer review recommendations are not mandatory for acceptance by the author, however it is strongly advised that the author explains any issues related to research methodology and discussion.
