The 11th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (11th ICEE) conference in 21-22 May 2020 has been cancelled
Considering the risks of COVID-19, the Organizing Committee has decided to cancelled the 11th International Conference “Environmental Engineering”.
The Organizers are currently focusing on immediate actions required due to cancellation of the event considering the objectives of the conference to be achieved.
The conference organizers are suggesting to publish the electronic conference proceedings and trying to put them in international databases (in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science ISI Proceedings, Scopus databases). Authors, accepting this offer, will be charged 100 Eur per one article (until 20 April 2020).
If there are authors who have paid the full conference fee and do not wish to publish their article in the electronic conference proceedings the conference organizers will refund them the full conference fee (350 Eur) when they send the request by email. If there are authors who have paid the full conference fee and are interested in publishing their article the conference organizers will refund them 100 Euro less.
Please make the final decision until 20 April 2020.
The Organizers will be in contact with all participants in the near future.
We regret on the inconveniences that might be caused for participants and speakers.
Yours sincerely,
The Organizing Committee of 11th ICEE
Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement
“Environmental Engineering” is peer-reviewed conference proceedings published by Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) Press.
“Environmental Engineering” is committed to maintaining the highest ethical standards. Our ethic statements are based on COPE’s Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
In order to provide our readers with conference proceedings of high quality, “Environmental Engineering” is guided by the following principles.
EDITORS
The editor is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the academic record, for having processes in place to assure the quality of the material they publish and for precluding business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards.
Editors’ decisions to accept or reject a paper for publication should be based on the paper’s importance, originality and clarity, and the study’s validity and its relevance to the remit of the journal.
The editor ensures that appropriate reviewers are selected for submissions (i.e. individuals who are able to judge the work and are free from disqualifying competing interests).
The editor has systems in place to give authors the opportunity to make original research articles freely available.
The editor has systems to ensure that material submitted to their journal remains confidential while under review.
“Environmental Engineering” employs the single-blind peer review: reviewers are aware of the identity of the authors, but authors are unaware of the identity of reviewers. There are at least three or more reviewers for the total number of articles in each issue.
REVIEWERS
The reviewers of “Environmental Engineering” assist the editors in taking the decision of publishing a submitted manuscript. By formulating suggestions to the authors, the reviewers can contribute to the improvement of submitted works.
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.
The reviewers should comment on the originality of submissions and should be alert to redundant publication and plagiarism.
AUTHORS
The authors ensure that they have submitted original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.
Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal is considered as an unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.
When an author founds error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to notify the journal editor and cooperate with him to retract or correct the paper.
