Acceptance Criteria
Prospective authors are requested to submit an up-to 4-page digest (including references) summarizing the proposed paper.
The digest must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Be on an impact or technology or entrepreneural topic.
- Be of interest to Energy Access and Off-Grid Solutions participants and industry stakeholders.
The digest should not include author names or affiliations.
Energy access involves more than just technical solutions, so the IDEAS Conference includes a significant track dedicated to Impact topics. For details on paper topics, please refer to the Call for Papers.
Reasons for Rejection
- Plagiarize or regurgitate old and well-proven thoughts.
- Have copied others’ ideas without proper acknowledgment.
- Are written exposing the same or similar ideas or represent only a minor variant of a previous publication.
- Contain gross errors, are poorly written, or written in an obscure manner.
- Commercial intent. (The paper should focus on the technical merit of the technology, process, or ideas, and should not be overtly commercial or read like a sales brochure for the specific product, make or model types, or services offered.)
Final Paper Submission
Full-length accepted papers should use the IEEE conference template and be limited to six pages in length. Submissions longer than six pages will not be published. Significant inconsistency between the accepted digests and final full paper will lead to a removal of the paper from the final proceeding. The IEEE conference templates can be found below in Word and LaTeX formats:
IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings
Authors must use only one of the two aforementioned templates for the submission of the final files. Any paper that does not respect these templates will be not published in the IEEE Proceedings.
