| As a peer reviwed conference we
need to pay particular attention to conflict of interest. The following
section defines and recommends the practices we deem necessary in
our official roles. And we follow an honor system where individuals
declare any potential conflicts of interest and take necessary steps
to protect the integrity of the conference.
Conflict of Interest
- Conflict of interest is minimally defined as some of the following:
In practice, the definition can be broader and sound judgment
is key.
- Supervisor, sub-ordinate, within the past 3 years.
- Ph.D. advisor or student, always.
- co-author, co-investigator, business partner in the past
5 years.
- current employer, or negotiations of employment.
- bitter enemy or great friend.
- Peer review or papers should not have conflict of interest.
- GC and PC Chairs do not submit papers, whereas
all other organizing committee members can.
Other practices, with ethical implications:
- Submissions to ISSRE cannot be submitted in
parallel to any other conference or journal.
- PC members who have previlidged information
on review, cannot discuss any such material outside the meeting.
- No show at the conference, barring unusual circumstance,
warrants automatic rejection of future papers.
