Information for Authors

Submission Guidelines

Authors must adhere to the IEEE conference written paper format (including paper title, authors and affiliations, figures, and references) and they must submit the draft version of the paper for review before the due submission deadlines (see dates below). These are submitted through the PaperCept submission system (see link below). IEEE is very strict about the requirements for PDF files for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library. We strongly recommend using the set of templates in MS Word and LaTeX format provided by IEEE (see link below). A4 page size should be used. Please use them to create your paper, but don’t modify the style or the format under any circumstances. 

Full papers (Regular or Special Session) are between 4-6 pages. 

Abstract submissions (1-page) will also be allowed. Abstracts describe works-in-progress and late breaking BMI research findings. Note that abstracts will not appear in IEEE Xplore (but will be listed on the Workshop website) and will be presented as posters at the Workshop. Full registrations are also needed to cover an abstract presentation.

Prospective authors are expected to submit only their original works. The conference will be using the CrossCheck automated screening system to help verify the originality of papers. Papers that violate IEEE’s publication principles may be desk rejected. If the violation is deemed severe, then disciplinary actions may also be taken by IEEE. For further details please have a look at the Conference Authors @ IEEE Author Center.

Accepted and presented papers will be copyrighted to IEEE and published in conference proceedings, which will be eligible for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore® Digital Library, once it meets the requirements of an IEEE quality review. 

For paper submission, please use the template provided by the PaperCept system: https://conf.papercept.net/conferences/scripts/login.pl
