West African Built Environment Reserach Conference
Abstract
The scientific information published in peer-reviewed outlets carries special status, and
confers unique responsibilities on editors and authors. We must protect the integrity of the
scientific process by publishing only manuscripts that have been properly peer-reviewed by
scientific reviewers and confirmed by editors to be of sufficient quality.
I confirm that all papers in the WABER 2017 Conference Proceedings have been through a
peer review process involving initial screening of abstracts, review of full papers by at least
two referees, reporting of comments to authors, revision of papers by authors, and reevaluation
of re-submitted papers to ensure quality of content.
It is the policy of the West Africa Built Environment Research (WABER) Conference that all
papers must go through a systematic peer review process involving examination by at least
two referees who are knowledgeable on the subject. A paper is only accepted for publication
in the conference proceedings based on the recommendation of the reviewers and decision of
the editors.
The names and affiliation of members of the Scientific Committee & Review Panel for
WABER 2017 Conference are published in the Conference Proceedings and on our website
www.waberconference.com
Papers in the WABER Conference Proceedings are published open access on the conference
website www.waberconference.com to facilitate public access to the research papers and
wider dissemination of the scientific knowledge
