What is plagiarism?

IASTED defines plagiarism as the verbatim copying or paraphrasing of ideas or words without properly citing the author or the source. This includes:

• Verbatim copying of another author's words but not differentiating the text from one's own (i.e. not using quotation marks), with or without proper citation;
• Copying equations, diagrams, processes, results or computer codes that are not common knowledge, without proper citation; and
• Verbatim copying or extensive reuse of one's own previously published work without proper citation (self-plagiarism).

What is the IASTED policy on plagiarism?

IASTED has a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism. Not only is it a serious breach of professional and ethical conduct, it may also be in breach of copyright and intellectual property laws. IASTED employs anti-plagiarism technology and will investigate every allegation of plagiarism.

If a paper that has been submitted for an IASTED conference has been plagiarized in whole or in part the following measures may be taken:

• The paper will be rejected; and
• The author(s) will be prohibited from submitting papers to IASTED conferences in the future.

All authors are deemed to be responsible for the content of the papers that have been submitted to IASTED.

What is the IASTED policy on self-plagiarism?

If a paper that has been submitted for an IASTED conference has been self-plagiarized, depending on the severity, the following measures may be taken:

• The conference chair may require the author(s) to include a full citation to the original paper and make modifications to the submitted paper to include a discussion of the previously submitted paper; or
• The paper will be rejected.

CONFERENCE ESSENTIALS

What is an IASTED Technical Committee?

IASTED Technical Committees are standing committees for 3-4 year terms which were established to consult and advise IASTED on relevant and interesting topics within a specific field (i.e. Neural Networks). Technical Committee members may also assist in the planning and organization of IASTED activities such as meetings and publications. As a member of the technical committee, activities may include recommending individuals to act as speakers, delivering keynote addresses or organizing tutorials at the conferences; suggesting updates to the conference scopes to reflect the most current topics; becoming involved as a member of conference-specific International Program Committees; and suggestions for other improvements and innovations in IASTED conferences.

What is an IASTED International Program Committee?

Each IASTED conference has an International Program Committee which consists of people who have proven expertise in areas of the conference scope. International Program Committee members review papers submitted for their respective conferences, make recommendations for individuals to act as keynote and plenary speakers, organize tutorials and special sessions, distribute conference Call For Papers, and help with the conference program.

What if I want to be on the International Program Committee (IPC), Technical Committee (TC), or chair a conference?

Please email calgary@iasted.org with a brief summary of your research interests and a resume.

INDEXING

Are IASTED conference proceedings indexed by EI?

All of the IASTED conference proceedings are sent to a number of different companies for inclusion in their bibliographic databases. These companies include, but are not limited to, EI, Thomson Scientific, Emerald Abstracts, INSPEC, DBLP, DoPP, and Cambridge Scientific Abstracts. It should be noted that conference proceedings must be submitted for an accreditation process prior to being indexed, so we are unable to confirm which databases will feature our most recent proceedings until we receive confirmation from the hosting companies.
