Conference Policies

Peer Review Process

The quality of the Conference articles is ensured by a blind review process with three (3) national and international reviewers.

When asked to be a Referee for an article submitted to EIRP Conference, the title and an abstract of the article, and a suggested deadline will be provided.

If this task is accepted by the Referee within the platform, the article (in anonymous form) will be reviewed within the deadline provided by the editor. Normally the deadline for the review is 2 to 3 weeks.

The Editorial team wants to emphasize that reviews should take a constructive approach to its points of criticism in order to facilitate dialogue and development of the texts. The Editor may return to authors without review any manuscript deemed to be of inadequate quality or inappropriate.

The Referee is asked to list each element of the review in order to facilitate the dialogue between author(s), Editor and Referees about revisions etc. Likewise it is important that the arguments in the review are specified. All reviews must be provided in English. The reviewer has to decide if the paper is to be accepted for publication with or without modifications. Also, the reviewer may present some personal comments about the paper (if appropriate).

Please use the EIRP Review Form for your reviews and comments. The reviews are sent to the Track Director, through the EIRP platform.

The information from the reviewers and editors are gathered and the corresponding author will receive an e-mail with either the acceptance notification with the results of the paper review containing all aspects to be modified, improved, and added or decline notification with the results of the paper review; in case of accepted article the Editor sets a deadline for the return of a revised version (if a revision is called for).  All notified modifications are obligatory for the paper to be published. The Editor can decide if a second round of reviews is necessary after the revision of the article, normally with a deadline of 14 days.

The online platform facilitates the reviewing process by keeping into archive all reviews for each reviewer and each reviewed article for each author.

About the Conference

In the modern and postmodern world, entrepreneurship represents the transition from a traditional vision of science and technology, put at the service of societal progress to an integrative approach of the two components in what means the processes of economic development as a whole.

In the transition from the chaotic development of science and technology in modern society, major inequities have been accumulated, which the export of science and technology towards underdeveloped areas has not given the expected results. Entrepreneurship ignores these differences accumulated over time and allows openings to the most advanced science and technology, so that companies everywhere to get involved in the phenomenon increasingly present in everyday life. In order for entrepreneurship to benefit from minimal extensions, it is necessary stimulating public policies, but also changes of mentality among the active population in the field of work. The university is the spearhead of entrepreneurial development, promoting approaches in line with the spirit of postmodern society. Implementing the entrepreneurial strategy at the societal level is a major challenge for the academic environment.
