Submission Guidelines
ICI2ST 2021 accepts submissions of original, unpublished full research papers and research-in-progress papers; both being of remarkable research quality. Authors are required to carefully follow these guidelines, otherwise their papers will be automatically rejected:
-
ICI2ST is against plagiarism and double submission. Therefore, submitted papers that have been already published, or substantially overlap with papers that have been simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings will be automatically rejected, and authors will be banned for life to submit to ICI2ST. More information about plagiarism and double submission can be found here: IEEE Web Page on Plagiarism IEEE Web Page on Double Submission
-
All papers must be 6 to 8-page-long (including references and appendices), written in English or Spanish using the IEEE Conference format, and be submitted in PDF format only. Papers that are not IEEE-format compliant and/or exceed the page number will be rejected.
-
Download the IEEE MS Word Template here. Should you want to use LaTex to edit your paper, please use the latest IEEE format available for downlading here. Please, bear in mind that if you use MS Word to edit your paper, it must be converted to PDF before submitting.
-
Articles must contain Title, Abstract and Keywords. ICI2ST follows a double-blind peer-reviewing procedure, which means that author identities and affiliations are not disclosed to reviewers. Authors are encouraged to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity. To assist with this process, the key items that need to be observed are as follows:
-
Anonymize the title page. I.e., remove the identification, email, and affiliation of the authors.
-
Anonymize self-citations found in the text. Cite papers published by the Author in the text as follows: "[Anonymous, 2007]".
-
Avoid mentioning funding sources/sponsors, and using personal acknowledgements.
-
Avoid using statements that may identify an author.
-
Do not include author's names when naming your files.
-
Remove any references to authors or sponsors in the file metadata.
-
-
All papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ici2st0
-
Only after being accepted, and before the camera-ready submission, authors will be allowed to de-anonymize their papers.
-
To be included in the proceedings, an accepted paper must be presented (online) at the conference by one registered author. Registration fees will be announced later.
Criteria of acceptance
-
Papers will be assessed based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation by at least 2 reviewers.
-
A grammatically correct use of the English language is required. Authors are encouraged to double-check for mispelled words and inaccuracies before submitting. This also includes tables and figures which must also be described in English.
-
Current and relevant references are required to be used in citations. Published work must be cited straight from the publisher's site, so over-using unofficial repositories such as ResearchGate should be avoided.
-
Survey papers may be acceptable when data/concepts are critically discussed, and the authors explicitly devise a new approach to develop further work within the topic.
-
Results must be concise; experiments, statistics, and other analyses must shown rigurosity. In-depth detail is a must when describing the technical methods and approaches.
-
Conclusions must show relevancy within the field of study, and ought to be supported by the data analysed through the presented experiments.
Publication of Papers
Accepted papers will be sent for consideration for publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and SCOPUS. To be included in the proceedings, an accepted paper must be presented(online) at the conference by only one registered author. Registration fees will be announced later.
