Editorial Governance

UFCP is committed to transparent, responsible, and academically credible proceedings publishing. Editorial responsibility is clearly structured between the UFCP series-level governance framework and the editorial and scientific committees responsible for individual conference proceedings volumes.

Editorial Structure

Governance Level

Entity

Primary Responsibility

Series Governance

UFCP Series Editor / Editor-in-Chief

Provides overall academic and editorial direction for the proceeding’s series.

Academic Oversight

International Editorial & Scientific Board

Supports academic quality, disciplinary breadth, research integrity, and the international development of UFCP.

Volume Leadership

Conference / Volume Editors

Oversees the scholarly content and editorial coordination of an individual proceedings volume.

Peer Review

Conference Scientific / Review Committee

Coordinates scholarly assessment and peer review according to the declared review model of the conference.

Peer Review & Quality Assurance

Original scholarly contributions published as peer-reviewed conference papers undergo a documented review process. Depending on the conference publication model, this may involve single-anonymized or double-anonymized peer review, with the applicable model clearly declared for the individual proceedings volume.

Conference-Level Review: Conference/Volume Editors and the designated Scientific or Review Committee coordinate scholarly assessment and determine whether submissions meet the academic requirements of the conference.

UFCP Series-Level Verification: Prior to publication, UFCP conducts publication-level checks covering manuscript completeness, bibliographic metadata, originality requirements, authorship information, ethical declarations where applicable, conflicts of interest, and compliance with UFCP publication standards.

Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly quality, relevance, originality, methodological appropriateness, and compliance with applicable ethical requirements. Conference registration, sponsorship arrangements, institutional partnerships, publication charges, or other commercial considerations must not determine the academic acceptance of a scholarly contribution.
