Evaluation Criteria & Conflict of Interest

All accepted presentations are automatically screened for eligible award categories. A dedicated independent Awards Committee evaluates submissions based on double-blind review scores, methodology rigor, artifact validation, and live presentation clarity.

Strict Conflict-of-Interest (COI) firewalls prevent committee members from evaluating contributions from their own institutions, co-authors, or direct research collaborators.

Every winning paper carries its own DOI and is discoverable in DataCite, Crossref and OpenAlex.
