GMEISS 2027 is committed to upholding the highest standards of research integrity, publication ethics, and responsible scholarly conduct.
By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that the work is original, has not been previously published, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere during the review process.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that all data, analyses, figures, and conclusions presented in the manuscript are accurate, reliable, and honestly reported. Any form of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication, data falsification, image manipulation, duplicate publication, or unethical research practice is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate rejection, withdrawal from the programme, or notification of the authors' affiliated institutions where appropriate.
Where research involves human participants, animals, confidential data, or sensitive information, authors must confirm that all necessary ethical approvals and permissions have been obtained and that the research complies with applicable institutional and international ethical standards.
The conference follows internationally recognised principles of publication ethics and reserves the right to investigate any suspected breach of academic integrity before or after publication.
GMEISS 2027 supports innovation and recognises the increasing role of artificial intelligence in academic research and scholarly communication. Authors may use generative AI tools to improve language, grammar, readability, or formatting, provided that such use complies with the policies of the conference publisher.
AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors, as they cannot assume responsibility for the integrity, originality, or scientific accuracy of the work.
Authors remain fully accountable for every aspect of the submitted manuscript — accuracy of factual statements, data interpretation, references, originality of ideas, and compliance with ethical and copyright requirements. Any substantive use of generative AI should be disclosed where required by the publisher's policies.
Using AI to fabricate data, manipulate results, generate fraudulent images, falsify citations, or otherwise misrepresent research findings constitutes academic misconduct and will result in rejection and possible further action.
Authors of accepted papers will be required to complete and sign the publisher's copyright or license agreement prior to publication, submitted together with the camera-ready manuscript within the specified deadline. Failure to submit required copyright forms may result in exclusion from the proceedings.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any copyrighted material included in their manuscripts, and confirm they hold the necessary rights for all figures, tables, photographs, datasets, and other third-party content.
Authors, reviewers, members of the Scientific Committee, and editors are expected to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest that could influence the review or publication process. Reviewers who identify a conflict of interest should immediately decline the review invitation. The Conference Scientific Committee will take appropriate measures to ensure an independent, fair, and transparent review process.
All listed authors should have made substantial intellectual contributions to the conception, design, execution, analysis, or interpretation of the research. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that:
Changes to authorship after submission will only be considered in exceptional circumstances with written approval from all authors and the Conference Scientific Committee.
Publication misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
Where misconduct is suspected, the Conference Scientific Committee reserves the right to request additional information, suspend the review process, reject the manuscript, withdraw an accepted paper, or remove a published paper from the proceedings. In serious cases, the Committee may notify the authors' affiliated institutions, funding bodies, or relevant publishers.
All decisions relating to publication misconduct will be made fairly, confidentially, and in accordance with the principles of due process and research integrity. The Committee and publisher reserve the right to reject, withdraw, or retract a manuscript at any stage — including after publication — if serious scientific or ethical violations are identified.
