Final Paper Preparation Instructions for Authors

STEP 1: Prepare the Final Manuscript

  • Use the IEEE conference templates for preparing your final manuscript.
    • Templates for Word and LaTeX can be found here.
  • Ensure your manuscript adheres to the formatting guidelines provided in the templates.
  • Authors are strongly encouraged to limit their papers to six pages, including all figures and references, for readability and conciseness. The maximum number of pages is eight.
  • Proofread your source document thoroughly to confirm that it will require no revision.

STEP 2: Copyright Transfer and Notice

  • All authors intending to publish in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library must provide a transfer of copyright.
  • Please do not include the copyright notice at the bottom of your final manuscript. Once your camera-ready paper has been uploaded, authors can access the form for their accepted submission by using the Electronic Copyright Form link in ConfTool.
