Abstract Review Process

The second international nursing conference at the Faculty of Nursing, Zarqa University, is committed to ensure a rigorous, high-quality and unbiased peer review process for all abstracts submitted to the conference. The scientific committee operates double-blind peer review process for all the abstracts submitted, where both the reviewer and the author remain anonymous. The process is conducted within two to three weeks after completing the submission of abstracts by the authors. The review will be conducted by the conference's scientific committee that includes highly qualified academic researchers in different specialties of nursing science.
After the submission of the abstract, the steps of the review process include:
1.    The author will receive a notification via e-mail that the submission process is completed and successful.
2.    The secretary/technical officer of the conference will blind the authors’ information of the submitted abstract and forward it to the head of the scientific committee.
3.    The head of the scientific committee will forward the blinded submitted abstract to three committee members for review and evaluation. The review will be conducted using defined evaluation criteria (Please click here for the evaluation criteria).
4.    The returned evaluation scores and the calculated average score will be reviewed by the head of the scientific committee and decides on the abstract acceptance in one of three options:
a.    Rejecting the abstract. (With a standard apology letter)
b.    Revision is advised. (Comments will be forwarded to the authors). A revised version will be considered for re-evaluation if submitted within one week of the initial decision.
c.    Accept the abstract without modifications.
5.    The authors will receive the notification of the committee decision via the e-mail address used for the submission.
6.    Accepted abstracts will be added to the conference booklet and presented at the conference session under the appropriate conference theme. Authors will be given the option to submit the abstract or the full manuscript for possible publication in a Scopus indexed proceeding.

Note: the scientific committee has the right to stop receiving and reviewing the abstract once the due date is reached or if one or more of the conference themes is saturated with the number of accepted abstracts.
