Controls and criteria for participation in conferences
Controls and criteria for participation in conferences if held A successful scientific conference should be studied, for each stage very carefully, and it goes through stages with specific goals and objectives, and has means to achieve them, and it is carried out by certain committees with clearly defining their tasks that prevent default or overlap, which are:
- The pre-conference stage to determine the goals and planning required for its success
- Implementation phase
- Post-conference phase to invest in its results
We seek to adopt certain conditions in our university to achieve a qualitative global scientific transfer of our conferences and market our research in accordance with international standards, which effectively contributes to improving the sequence of our universities in international rankings.
International Conference:
It is the conference that meets the standards The following:
1- The conference must be registered in one of the international publishing houses for conference series, which must be discreet and have a direct link with the international classification, provided that the names of the parties supporting the conference are announced on its official website.
2- Conference papers must be indexed in the Scopus or Clarivate classification, or both.
3- The conference committees and speakers (Keynote Speakers) should consist of foreign researchers in addition to Arabs.
4- It is preferable that researchers involved in the conference are Arabs and foreigners.
5- The conference must have an official specialized website that contains the entity responsible for indexing the conference research, conference specializations, conference dates (receipt, acceptance...), registration method, supporting entities, conference venue, international speakers " Keynote Speakers " Means of communication with the conference management, registration and participation fees - if any - conditions of ownership rights, permitted extraction rates, steps for evaluation, acceptance and publication of the research.
6- The conference should rely in its correspondence on an electronic Submission System in its work to send, receive and evaluate scientific research systems such as OpenConf, EDAS, EasyChair, provided that the system supports electronic capture reports.
7- The conference must rely on one of the internationally approved electronic thesis checking systems for all incoming papers, such as the iThenticate Turntin system.
8- Scientific Committee: It is one of the basic committees in any international conference, and a number of its members must be foreigners who have a solid scientific reputation in the specialty of the conference topics, and they must have a high h-index Clarivate or Scopus, taking into account that the head of the committee is the one who has the highest h-index
Organizing Committee:What applies to the first scientific committee applies to it in terms of the type of people, provided that some of them have previous experience in managing discreet conferences.
Evaluation Committee:They are selected by the scientific committee of the conference, provided that the evaluator has two of the following conditions:
- His academic degree is at least Assistant Professor.
- With academic experience in the field of research through the publication of at least three solid research papers indexed in the Scopus or Clarivate classification.
- It has (at least) ten ratings according to Publons for research in indexed journals in the Scopus or Clarivate rankings.
- It has h-index in Scopus and Clarivate rankings of at least three.
- It is possible to seek the assistance of at least one person for each research, who are non-academic experts and specialists in the field of research to be evaluated, noting that the names of the evaluators are not published on the conference website.
9- That every research accepted at the conference has an Digital Object Identifier (DOI) number, documented in the Crossref database.
10- Circulating the conference announcement to international scientific institutions (universities, syndicates, scientific societies and companies related to the conference’s specialization); To ensure the participation of the largest possible number of foreign researchers.
11- The conference proceedings publications should come out with a single standard ISBN number from the scientific authority that publishes the conference research.
12- It is preferable that the distinguished research papers of the conference be published in one of the reputable journals accredited in Scopus or Clarivate or both as a special issue, provided that the standards of excellence for the research are clearly defined and who is the body that developed those standards or published as part of a regular issue.
13- Seeking by the conference organizer (the university) to generate a cite score for the conference on the global Scopus scale by promoting the research published in the conference.
