How to respond to Reviewers' comments
Responses to Reviewers (required): For every revised version, the authors will reply using these tables responses.docx. They will upload them via the web or will send them by email. Authors will have to make all the changes, modifications, additions, studies, corrections asked by the reviewers responses.docx.
Turnitin and iThenticate
Taking serious view of the plagiarism in academic research works, the WSEAS has decided to penalise the authors who might be found guilty of plagiarising others' work, including their own. We use tools as Turnitin and iThenticate for checking plagiarism and self-plagiarism before the standard peer review process.
DOI and Crossref
Each published article in WSEAS received DOI by Crossref and indexed in Crossref. Crossref makes research outputs easy to find, cite, link, assess, and reuse. A DOI is not only an identifier for each paper, but a also a usueful URL for this article.

WSEAS can sponsor financially or technically some conferences under some certain very strict conditions:
The organizers to be professors in prestigious universities with very strong academic CV. All the reviewers' comments and databases to be sent to WSEAS after the end of the conference....
Papers rejected from WSEAS, but accepted in IEEE, Springer, Hindawi, ...
The high rejection rates of WSEAS journals have as a result that several times we find a huge number of rejected papers from WSEAS to be published in many other reputable publishers like IEEE, Springer, Taylor and Francis, Elsevier etc...
Courses - Research Opportunities
WSEAS organises an active programme of short courses, the majority of which take place at our building in our Lodge in Marathon Beach, Attica, Greece. The courses are aimed at both industry and academia. Attracting international participants, the courses are presented by well known specialists from around the world. During these courses we can discuss collaborations for joint research. Students that want to collaborate with us can elaborate their Ph.D. dissertation in the University of Athens or in some other University that has signed Memorandum with WSEAS.

Also, we would like to inform you the 100% of the WSEAS staff (even the secretariats) are currently with Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics, Biology, Mathematics and Computer Science.
Article published in the Journal of Physics (IOP Publishers) with title: presents the Metrics and Peer Review in the journal: "WSEAS Transactions on Business and Economics" https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/1564/1/012025/pdf

WSEAS has one of the more strict and robust academic peer review processes worldwide. WSEAS has launched a compulsory certification from all the authors and for all the papers in order to certify and authenticate that each accepted paper by the Editors-in-Chief is backed by a minimum of 3 reviewers' positive recommendation.
Authors must fill in and sign the following Certification - Evaluation for the Review Process: certification.docx
We do not publish any paper without this Certification. After 2019, the Certifications are published together with the articles online.
Before the commencement of the Peer Review, organized by Editor-in-Chief or some Associate Editor, WSEAS makes a pre-screening quality control / review checking the following:
a) Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism avoidance control via Turnitin and iThenticate.
b) The English Language of the paper.
c) Affiliation of the prospective authors (i.e. Do they belong to a University or to a real
company or to a real institute? can their university be identified?
can their Academic URL be identified on the web?
Do they use academic/professional email addresses? have they provided a phone number when they uploaded their paper?
Does their IP, from where uploaded their paper, agree with their country?).
d) The References (i.e. Are the references adequate? Does the paper include references from the last 5 years?
Can the references be traced easily via google, Do the references report the year of the publication?).
e) Are their indications that some prospective authors have not substantially contributed to the research?
For example a paper in Civil Engineering with an author from a surgery clinic in a Hospital.
Roughly, 20% of the papers are usually rejected in this pre-screening quality control / review checking. This acts as a first filtering which saves valuable time of the Reviewers and the Editors-in-Chief.
Since 1996, the WSEAS offers consistently high quality, line by line, thorough, rigorous, strict peer review process and very high editorial standards of care to its authors and readers. This page contains some comments from just a few of our authors about their experience of publishing with us: Testimonials
If some authors feel that they have not received, at least, 3 positive opinions from 3 independent reviewers with strong peer review, they should not sign this form. All the Certifications - Evaluations of the Review Process for each paper are available to everybody after a simple request by email support@wseas.org, wseas.transactions@gmail.com
