Paper Selection and Publishing Process
a) Submission Acknowledgement
When you submit a manuscript, the editor or editorial assistant sends an e-mail confirmation to the submission's author within one to three working days. If you fail to receive this confirmation, please check your bulk email box or contact the editorial assistant by email: NMCI2017@163.com NMCI2017@126.com.

b) Basic Review
The editor or editorial assistant determines whether the manuscript fits the conference's focus and scope. Next a check for the similarity rate is done using CrossCheck, powered by iThenticate. Any manuscripts out of the conference's scope or containing plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, are rejected.

d) Decision Is Made
The decision to accept or reject an article is based on the suggestions of reviewers. If differences of opinion occur between reviewers, the editor-in-chief will weigh all comments and arrive at a balanced decision based on all comments, or a second round of peer review may be initiated.
