Submission Portal

Papers will be submitted and tracked through Microsoft CMT (cmt3.research.microsoft.com), the primary online management system for ICETCIS 2027. The CMT submission link will be published here once the conference site is live.

Review Process

Double-blind review with a minimum of three independent reviewers per paper. Reviewers declare conflicts of interest; no author reviews their own submission. Borderline papers are resolved by the Track TPC Chair.

Plagiarism Screening

All shortlisted papers are screened using an institutional plagiarism detection tool. Overall similarity must be below 10% with no single source exceeding 3%. References, bibliography, and properly cited quotations are excluded.

Integrity Standards

Submission Policy

AI-Generated Content Policy

Submissions must be entirely written by the authors. The permitted AI-generated content in any submitted paper is 0% — text produced by large language models, AI writing assistants, or any automated text generation tool is not allowed in any form. Papers found to contain AI-generated content will be desk-rejected without review.

Plagiarism Policy

Submitted papers must have an overall similarity score below 10% and must not exceed 3% similarity from any single source, as checked via the institutional plagiarism detection tool. Papers exceeding this threshold will be rejected without entering the review process.

Excluded from similarity calculation: references, bibliography, quoted material with citation, and author names and affiliations.

Author Status Tracking (Coming Soon): A dedicated author portal for checking submission status, review outcome, presentation schedule, and venue/session details is planned for a later stage, closer to the camera-ready and registration window (around January 2027). In the interim, submission and review management will be handled through Microsoft CMT.
