Publications
- All accepted and presented papers will be considered for indexed publication.
- Selection of articles to the indexed publication will be based on a number of factors including, among others, requirements from the publisher, quality of research, originality, style and scope area of the research. Selected papers may be required to undergo further reviews and editing before actual publication. The authors are responsible to adhere to the publisher’s guidelines, terms and conditions.
- All the accepted papers to conference are subject to review by publisher for acceptance. Publication of papers is conditioned on a positive assessment by reviewers and the publisher. The publisher has the right to reject papers that do not conform with their requirements.
- The editorial committee reserves all the rights to send the paper to any publications for consideration (with author/s’ consent), which the committee deemed suitable for the said submitted paper.
- Papers that are accepted must be presented at the conference, either by the authors themselves, or via proxy. In case a paper is not presented at the conference, it shall be deemed a "no-show". No-shows will be removed from post-conference distribution and will not be considered for publication.
- Exceptions to this policy will be made in rare and unusual situations by the EnCon2026 Organising Committee only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and that every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.
Paper Guideline
- All papers must be written in English.
- All papers must be submitted in MS Word (.docx) for the review purpose through the following link: https://submit.confbay.com/conf/encon2026
- Papers should be formatted according to the Guidelines described here. The template for submission of manuscript can be accessed through the following link: (Paper Format)
- All papers must contain original work, have not been published in any other journal/publication, are not under consideration by any other journal/publication and do not infringe any existing copyright or any other third party rights. All papers will be screened and checked via plagiarism detection tools. Papers contain plagiarized material will not be considered. Good quality plagiarism software/ tool (Turnitin) will be used to check similarity that would not be more than 20% including the reference section.
- All papers must be between eight (8) to twelve (12) pages only, including all text, figures and references.
- All submitted paper should be cutting edge, result-oriented, original paper and under the scope of the journal that should belong to the engineering and technology area. In the paper title, there should not be word ‘Overview/brief/ Introduction, Review, Case study/ Study, Survey, Approach, Comparative, Analysis, Comparative Investigation, Investigation’.
- When reporting experiments on data collected in your lab, consider stating this as "This experiment was conducted using data acquired in our labs". Do not state the name of the labs or institution.
- When citing your own work, ensure that the narrative does not divulge your identity.
- The editorial committee reserves all the right to send the paper to any publications for consideration (with author/s’ consent), which the committee deemed suitable for the said submitted paper.
- One of the authors MUST register and present the paper at the conference.
Paper Review Process
- Papers submitted will be pre-screened for conformity with submission guidelines and for overall appropriateness. Papers that pass the initial screening process will then be double-blind reviewed.
- The double-blind peer review process is employed to ensure that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous during the review process. Three expert specialists in respective field of Engineering will be selected to perform the reviews.
- Each submission will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Relevance to the conference scope and theme
- Originality and technical quality of the research
- Soundness of methodology and data analysis
- Clarity of presentation and organization
- Significance of results and conclusions
4. The review process will be conducted according to the following timeline:
- Initial screening: within one (1) to two (2) weeks after submission.
- Peer review: approximately three (3) to four (4) weeks per paper.
- Notification of acceptance: within six (6) to eight (8) weeks from submission.
5. Authors will receive feedback in the form of a peer review report. The paper peer review process and the outcomes presented in the review reports will be monitored and verified by the editorial committee.
6. Authors of papers requiring revision will receive reviewer comments via the confbay system. Revised papers must be resubmitted within the specified deadline. Authors should address each reviewer's comment point-by-point with justifications and necessary amendments to improve paper quality. The publication committee may conduct a further review round if deemed necessary after revision submission.
