Computer, Electronics, and Information Technology Symposium
Preparing your paper
- It is imperative that the topic of your paper aligns with the thematic scope of the symposium, as well as the publisher's guidelines. This alignment ensures that the submitted work is not only relevant to the objectives of the conference but also resonates with the interests of attendees and readers alike.
- All submitted papers must represent original research and should not have been previously published or presented at any other conference. To maintain academic integrity, a similarity score exceeding 25% is unacceptable. 💡 We strongly recommend utilizing plagiarism detection tools such as Turnitin or iThenticate to verify the originality of your manuscript against online sources.
- Submissions must be composed in English (US) to ensure clarity and accessibility for a global audience.
- The abstract must be concise and limited to a maximum of 200 words, not including the title, author names, and affiliations. It should adhere to a two-column layout on A4 paper size and be submitted in
PDF
format. Additionally, the full paper should span a minimum of four pages and not exceed six pages, ensuring a comprehensive yet focused presentation of the study's key points and contributions. This balance allows for sufficient depth while maintaining clarity and conciseness in the discussion of the research. - Authors are strongly encouraged to utilize the provided Microsoft Word template, which should be modified and saved as a

- It is crucial to ensure that all fonts are embedded within the document, which should not be encrypted or secured. Additionally, please refrain from including headers, footers, bookmarks, form fields, links, or annotations. 💡 For further verification of compliance with these formatting standards, we highly recommend utilizing the PDF Analyzer ↗︎ provided by EDP Sciences. This tool will assist in ensuring that your submission meets all necessary requirements for professional presentation.
- To guarantee optimal print quality, all listed artworks must be submitted at a resolution of at least 300 DPI (dots per inch). 💡Again, we advise using the PDF Analyzer ↗︎ to ensure that your artworks meet these quality standards.
- When incorporating tables and figures from external sources into your paper, it is essential that these works are also written in English (US). Authors must secure all necessary permissions from copyright holders and appropriately credit these sources within their manuscripts to comply with copyright regulations.
- Complete credentials for both primary and co-authors must be provided, including full names and email addresses. In cases where co-authors are affiliated with multiple institutions, it is necessary to list all secondary affiliations along with the respective investigators associated with each institution. Please note that the order of author names should remain unchanged unless explicitly directed by the publisher. Additionally, author affiliations should exclude professional titles such as "Professor," "Graduate Student Researcher," "HOD," "Lecturer," or "Alumnus" to maintain clarity and consistency.
- Authors are urged to avoid citation manipulation practices such as excessive self-citation or over-reliance on citations from the journal to which they are submitting their work. It is unethical to include irrelevant "honorary" citations solely for visibility enhancement purposes. Focus on citing only those sources that are pertinent and genuinely support your research findings. Upholding ethical citation practices is vital for maintaining the integrity of your research and fostering a fair academic environment. 💡 For additional guidance on this matter, please refer to COPE's resources on Citation Manipulation.
