Paper Format & Templates:

• Short papers / poster abstracts: Up to 2 pages.

Anonymous Review & Plagiarism:

• ICET² uses double-blind peer review. Remove author names, affiliations, and obvious self-identifying information from the submitted manuscript. Do not cite your own work in a way that reveals identity (use neutral phrasing like “Author, 20XX” during review).

• Submitted papers must be original and not under review elsewhere. Plagiarism or duplicate submission will result in rejection.
  
  

Submission Content:
Each submission must include:

1. Title and abstract (150–250 words).

2. Full manuscript in PDF following the template.

3. Keywords (3–6).

4. A short cover note (in the CMT comments) stating if the paper is a regular paper, short paper, or poster.
   
   

Review Process:

• All submissions will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review by at least two reviewers.

• Decisions: Accept, Accept with Minor Revisions, Major Revision (conditional), or Reject.

• Authors of accepted papers must submit a camera-ready version and complete the author registration by the stated deadline for inclusion in the proceedings.
  
  

Camera-Ready Submission & Copyright:

• Upon acceptance, authors must upload the camera-ready PDF using the provided template and sign any required copyright or publishing forms (details will be provided with the acceptance email).

• At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the paper at the conference; otherwise the paper will be excluded from the proceedings.
  
  

Presentation Formats:

• Oral presentation (regular paper) — allocated time will be communicated with the acceptance.

• Online presentation options may be available upon request; notify the organizers in advance.
  
  

Publication:
Accepted and registered papers will be included in the conference proceedings. Details about indexing (IEEE Xplore / Scopus / UGC CARE, if applicable) and journal special issues (if any) will be announced on the conference website.
