Paper Submissions

Presenting authors are invited to submit a full proceedings paper! The deadline for proceedings papers is June 2, 2023 23:59 (UTC -07:00).

Template files for proceedings papers including detailed instructions for full proceedings papers are available from: https://epapers2.org/ifcs2023/ESR/samples.php.

Please follow the instructions below to prepare a full paper for the proceedings:

1. You can choose to have your original abstract submission as your final paper submission for publication in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore, but you must resubmit it for this purpose, and ensure that your paper complies with the specifications outlined below. Alternatively, an you can write a separate, more expansive proceedings paper (with no page limit up to a reasonable length). 

2. Final paper submissions are examined for sufficiency of content for publication. Final papers and resubmitted abstracts are expected to be at least two pages in length. The Reference Section of the final paper submission shall not be the dominant content of the second page. Ensure that your submission follows the two-column template format, here: https://epapers2.org/ifcs2023/ESR/samples.php

You are also required to perform IEEE Xplore compliance checking (as outlined below) prior to uploading your paper to the paper submission site.

3. If you choose to contribute a final paper submission, your completed IEEE copyright release must be filed by Jun 2, 2023 23:59 (UTC -07:00). After logging into your author account, click the red "X" in the copyright column of your accepted paper & follow on-screen instructions. This will begin the digital filing process for your copyright release.

4. Your final paper submission in PDF format must be submitted no later than Jun 2, 2023 23:59 (UTC -07:00) at this web site: https://epapers2.org/ifcs2023. Due to publication deadlines, no time extensions will be granted.

5. Authors are reminded that plagiarism, and editorial reuse [inclusion of author(s) generated material from previously published work], is strictly monitored by the Technical Program Committee of the conference through the IEEE iThenticate tool. iThenticate compares submitted manuscripts against a database of published technical papers and web page content, and provides the Technical Program Committee with a summary report that highlights the similarity to previously published work. The Technical Program Committee will use the requirements given in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual 2023 (PSPB Ops), https://www.ieee.org/opsmanual.pdf, as the basis for determination of acceptance to publication. Authors are specifically directed to Section 8.2.2 and 8.2.4 of the PSPB Ops in reference to guidance on plagiarism and editorial reuse.

    Proceedings Deadline

 

Author Registration Requirements

  • For an accepted paper to be presented at the conference, at least one author must be registered for in-person or virtual attendance.
  • For an accepted paper to be included in the proceedings/IEEE Xplore, it must be covered by a full IEEE Member or Non-Member registration fee. Each full registration for in-person or virtual attendance can cover publication of up to two papers.
  • Student registration fees do not ensure paper publication. Please contact us for special consideration if this creates undue hardship.
  • Paper publication requires presentation at the conference, either in-person or virtual. IEEE reserves the right to exclude any accepted paper that was not presented from distribution after the conference, including removal from IEEE Xplore.

Proceedings Paper

  • Contribution to the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore is strongly encouraged.
  • High-quality two-page abstracts that follow the guidelines for proceedings papers can be directly re-submitted for the proceedings. Alternatively, authors may write a separate, more expansive proceedings paper.
  • Detailed guidance is provided in the abstracts template at https://epapers2.org/ifcs2023/ESR/samples.php
  • IEEE policy requires a copyright release for each proceedings paper. Without a copyright release on file, your paper cannot be published in the conference proceedings. Further instructions will be included in your decision email.
  • Multiple submission is not acceptable for any proceedings contribution. Please do not submit any manuscript concurrently under active consideration for publication elsewhere.

Use of previously published work (self-use)

For proceedings papers (but not for abstract submission): If authors choose to use their own previously published work as a basis for a new submission, they are required to cite the previous work and very briefly indicate how the new submission to this conference offers substantive novel contributions beyond those of the previously published work. For detailed information, see the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board (PSPB) Operations Manual at https://www.ieee.org/opsmanual.pdf, Sections 8.1.7.F and 8.2.4.G.

Plagiarism Information

IEEE defines plagiarism as the reuse of someone else’s prior processes, results, or words without explicitly acknowledging the original author and source. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and is considered a serious breach of professional conduct, with potentially severe ethical and legal consequences. For additional information see the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board (PSPB) Operations Manual at https://www.ieee.org/opsmanual.pdf, Section 8.2.4 or email copyrights@ieee.org.
