Manuscript preparation for Blind Submission
REFECO accepts blind abstract submissions. The author(s) must ensure that their names or associated identities do not appear anywhere. The author affiliations are to be replaced with the Paper ID number generated after the online registration process in order to hide the identity of author(s) from the reviewers and ensure integrity during the evaluation.
How to obtain Paper ID for Blind Submission?
The Paper ID must be included in the manuscript before uploading it. To acquire the Paper ID number the authors must register with valid and complete details under the registration section. On clicking submit button on the same page the paper ID number will be displayed immediately. Note that authors need not upload the abstract in order to acquire the Paper ID. The ID number must be entered in the manuscript (in replacement of the author details), which can then be uploaded.
Abstract limits
The abstract length must be within 500 words. The upload limit for submission in the event is restricted to 1 MB. Allowable file type for submission is strictly in PDF format. Please find the sample abstract format below.

Author No-Show Policy
REFECO’15 enforces a "no show" policy. Any accepted abstract included for poster/oral presentation is expected to have at least one author attending/presenting the work in the event. Absence or “No show” will lead to disqualification of the opportunity.
Double blind review
Reviewing of the abstracts for the event is double blinded, in which neither the identity of the author(s) will be informed to the reviewer nor will the reviewer’s identity be disclosed to the author(s) under any circumstance. Avoid providing links to websites that identify the author(s). Violation of any of these guidelines will lead to rejection of the abstract.
Integrity of Work
Title of the submission, abstract, author name(s) and number of authors corresponding to the allotted Paper ID number will be retained as it is with the committee, there will be no scope for any form of changes. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited and violation of this policy will lead to immediate disqualification.
