If you don't receive the email, it means that your paper has passed the preliminary examination and is in the process of expert review. The first-round review comments will be returned in about 1-2 weeks, and the whole review process will take about 1 month. The status of the paper can be viewed through the submission system.
Q: Do I have to check the duplication by myself or by the organizing committee?

Q: How about the indexation of the conference proceedings?
A: The database is a neutral organization of the third party, and the organizing committee generally has no right to interfere with its indexation process, but the organizing committee has the responsibility and obligation to clarify the important factors that affect the retrieval to the author. Generally, the indexation mainly depends on the quality of the publisher and articles. If the publisher’s indexation history is good, and the conference also strictly controls the quality of the articles, the probability of retrieval is relatively high.
Q: How to get the indexation report?
You can directly go to the university library that has purchased the relevant database to issue the indexation report. In China, Wuhan University, Peking University, Nankai University, Fudan University and other comprehensive universities have purchased databases such as web of science and EI. The organizing committee can provide the indexation screenshot, but not the indexation report.
