• Information Systems
• Software Technologies
• Security and Privacy
• Technology Trends
• Social and Professional Topics

Submission Guidelines

ICI2ST 2024 accepts submissions of original, unpublished full research papers and research-in-progress papers, both being of remarkable research quality. Authors are required to follow these guidelines carefully; otherwise, their papers will be automatically rejected:

1. 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
2. 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.
3. Download the IEEE MS Word Template (English) here or IEEE MS Word Template (Spanish) here. Should you want to use LaTex to edit your paper, please use the latest IEEE format available for downloading here. Please remember that if you use MS Word to edit your paper, it must be converted to PDF before submitting. 
4. Articles must contain Title, Abstract and Keywords in addition to other sections. Papers in Spanish will contain title, abstract and keywords in Spanish and English. Delete the authors for the first submission. ICI2ST follows a double-blind peer-reviewing procedure, meaning 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:
   1. Anonymize the title page. I.e., remove the identification, email, and affiliation of the authors.
   2. Anonymize self-citations found in the text. Cite papers published by the author in the text as follows: "[Anonymous, 2007]".
   3. Avoid mentioning funding sources/sponsors, or using personal acknowledgments.
   4. Avoid using statements that may identify an author.
   5. Do not include the author's names when naming your files.
   6. Remove any references to authors or sponsors in the file metadata.
5. Only after being accepted, and before the camera-ready submission, authors will be allowed to de-anonymize their papers.
6. To be included in the proceedings, an accepted paper must be presented (online) at the conference by only one registered author.

Criteria of acceptance

• Papers will be assessed based on their originality, relevance, and presentation clarity by at least three reviewers.
• Grammatically correct use of the selected language (English or Spanish) is required. Before submitting their articles, authors are encouraged to double-check for misspelled words and inaccuracies, including information in tables and figures.
• 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 study field and should be supported by the data analyzed through the presented experiments.

Publication

Accepted papers will be sent for consideration for publication in the IEEE Xplorer, CSDL (Computer Society Digital Library), and SCOPUS. An accepted paper must be presented at the conference by one registered author to be included in the proceedings.

Organization

The 5th International Conference on Information Systems and Software Technologies (ICI2ST 2024) is organized by Escuela Politécnica Nacional of Ecuador (EPN). EPN is a public university, undergraduate and graduate, located in Quito (Ecuador). Renowned for research and education in basic sciences, engineering, and technology, it offers doctoral, master, and undergraduate programs.

It was founded by President Gabriel García Moreno in 1869 and, after its closure in 1876, it was reopened almost thirty years later, in the 1930s. Since then, it has become one of the most prestigious study centers in the country. Since 2012 it is a member of the Ecuadorian Network of Universities for Research and Postgraduate Studies.
