Peer Review Process
This review policy is followed for all academic papers submitted to the The International Child Neurology Congresses of the ICNA (ICNC)
In the first instance, contributors are asked to submit a 250 word abstract of their work. The abstracts are double-blind reviewed by members of the Scientific Program Review Committee for the ICNC2014
The review focuses on 8 issues intended to ensure that the paper is relevant to the conference, is of a sufficiently high quality to be accepted for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings and meets the submission criteria laid down by the programme committee.
