• Type of peer review: double-blind.

• Total number of reviewers involved: 66.
• Peer-review process and regulations: All submitted papers underwent an initial screening to ensure compliance with the conference’s formatting, scope, and ethical requirements. Manuscripts that passed this stage were assigned to at least two independent reviewers under a double-blind review process, ensuring that neither authors nor reviewers knew each other’s identities. Reviewers evaluated the papers based on originality, scientific rigor, methodological soundness, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the conference themes. Based on the reviewers’ comments and recommendations, authors were invited to submit revisions when necessary. Reviewers who requested to see the manuscript after revision were re-sent the revised manuscript for the adequacy of the improvements. All reviewers subsequently agreed to the publication of the revised manuscript. Final acceptance decisions were made by the editors, with only papers meeting the required academic quality and thematic relevance being approved for publication.
