Eligibility Requirements
·        The paper topic should fit the QCRE themes. The paper must present original research results and cannot be accepted for publication elsewhere at the time of submission. (it can, however, be submitted and/or under review for possible publication at the time of submission for this competition).
·        The submitted paper MUST follow the paper formatting guidelines and requirements of the IISE conference proceedings.
·        The paper must primarily be submitted to the QCRE track.
·        The authors should have an accepted oral abstract to be able to submit full papers for the competition.
·        Previous finalists who wish to compete again should submit an entirely different paper.
·        Papers considered for this competition may not be simultaneously submitted to other competitions at the 2025 IISE Annual Conference.
·        Finalists must attend the IISE Annual Conference & Expo, May 31- June 3, 2025.
Evaluation Process
·        Each eligible paper will be reviewed by two or three external referees, each of whom will assign a numerical score using the following five criteria.
o   Contribution to quality control and reliability engineering research
o   Significance of the problem
o   Research methods/techniques are appropriate
o   Results are interpreted correctly, and conclusions are reasonable
o   Organization and quality of writing
·        Four finalists for the Best Track Paper will be selected by ranking the review scores of all eligible papers. One winner will be selected based on the review evaluation and oral presentation. The winner will be announced at the town hall meeting of the QCRE Track during the 2025 IISE Annual Conference.
