IRC Impact Research Communications and the scientific committee members of AdvOptiX-2026 ensure a rigorous, high-quality, and unbiased peer review process for all abstracts submitted to the conference. The decision regarding the acceptance of abstracts will be made by a panel of expert reviewers, session chairs, and/or the conference chairman, with an emphasis on the novelty and meaningful contributions of the findings and/or conclusions.
The committee will decide whether each abstract is more appropriate for an oral or poster presentation. Eligibility for presentation type will be determined by the total score, with adjustments made for variations in scoring behaviour among referees.
The committee employs a single- or double-blind peer review process for all submitted abstracts, maintaining the anonymity of both the reviewers and the authors.
All submitted abstracts are initially reviewed by the internal editorial team to ensure they adhere to the conference scope. Abstracts that pass this initial screening are then assigned to the session chair/review committee for further evaluation.
The session chair/review committee determines whether reviews from appropriate independent experts/reviewers are necessary to evaluate the abstract. While external reviewers evaluate the majority of submissions, the session chair/review committee decides the number of required reviews.
Upon receiving the reviews, the session chair/review committee decides whether to accept, reject, or request revisions for a manuscript based on the reviewers' comments. Authors are given 14 days to resubmit revised abstracts if the decision is a minor or major revision.
Abstracts submitted by invited and/or keynote speakers will be reviewed by the conference chairman.
