Author Guidelines
Read these guidelines carefully before preparing your manuscript. Papers that do not comply will be desk-rejected without review.
Formatting Requirements
All manuscripts must strictly follow the IEEE double-column format. Deviations in spacing, font-size, or layout will result in immediate desk rejection.
Title & Authors
Title should be concise and informative. List all author names, affiliations, and corresponding email. Ensure author names are removed in the review copy.
Abstract
150β250 words summarizing the problem, methodology, results, and conclusions. No citations in the abstract.
Keywords
Provide 4β6 keywords that reflect the main topics. Use standard terminology from the field.
Introduction
Clearly state the problem, motivation, related work, and your contribution. End with a brief paper outline.
Methodology
Describe your research approach in sufficient detail for reproducibility. Include equations, models, or algorithms as needed.
Results & Discussion
Present results with appropriate figures and tables. Discuss findings in context of existing literature.
Conclusion
Summarize key findings and contributions. Outline future work directions.
References
IEEE citation format. Minimum 15 references. Use reference management tools (Mendeley, Zotero, etc.).
Originality
All submissions must be original and not under review at any other conference or journal. Prior workshop papers with significant extensions (>30% new content) may be considered.
Double-Blind Review
ICEMS uses a double-blind review process. Authors must anonymize their manuscripts by removing names, affiliations, funding acknowledgments, and self-citations that could identify them.
Ethics & Plagiarism
All papers are checked using iThenticate. Plagiarism exceeding 15% similarity will be desk-rejected. Fabrication of data is grounds for permanent rejection and reporting.
Copyright
Upon acceptance, authors must sign the IEEE copyright transfer form. Authors retain the right to post a preprint on their institutional repository.
Presentation Requirement
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference and present the paper in person or virtually. Failure to present may result in removal from proceedings.
Multiple Submissions
Authors may submit multiple papers. Each paper requires a separate registration. Group discounts apply for 3+ papers from the same institution.
