Author Guidelines

SUBMISSION PREPARATION CHECKLIST

  • ICIMCIS 2021 will not accept papers that, at the time of submission, are under review for or have already been accepted or published in a journal or another conference.
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word, RTF, pdf document file format. If submitting in LaTeX file format, please include LaTeX source code for camera ready submission. There will be additional fees (15 USD/page) if your paper is more than 6 pages, and please be sure that your paper is not more than 10 pages.
  • All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://pkp.sfu.ca) are activated and ready to click.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 10-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the two links above.
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed track of the conference, authors’ names are removed from submission, with “Author” and year used in the bibliography and footnotes, instead of authors’ name, paper title, etc. ICIMCIS 2021 employs a double blind reviewing process (reviewers do not know the author’s identity or vice versa). The authors should ensure that their identity never appears anywhere in the submitted paper.
  • If submitting to peer review, all Microsoft Office documents (including Supplementary Files) have been saved by going to File and selecting Save As; clicking Tools (or Options in a Mac); clicking Security; selecting “Remove personal information from file properties on save”; clicking Save.
