Review Process

All submissions received by Minexcellence 2025 are subject to all stages of the review process in order to be approved for publication in the proceedings and included in the technical program.

Stage 1: Abstract Selection

All abstracts will be reviewed and commented on by Minexcellence 2025’s Editorial Committee. Approval of an abstract at this stage does not automatically guarantee that the final version will be accepted and included in the program. The authors of accepted abstracts will receive comments to consider and include in the final version of their abstract.

Stage 2: Final Abstract Selection

Final abstracts will be reviewed by the Editorial Committee to ensure that all modifications have been made. At this stage, abstracts will be confirmed for oral or poster presentation. Final abstracts approved for publication will be published in the Minexcellence 2025 proceedings. At this stage authors must register to Minexcellence to confirm their participation.

Stage 3: Presentation Selection

All authors of final abstracts approved for oral presentationwill be asked to send the PowerPoint presentation that they will exhibit in their 20-minute talk.
