Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts presenting original, unpublished research work and recent advancements relevant to the themes of the conference. All submissions must strictly follow the given format. Each manuscript should include the title, abstract, keywords, author names, affiliations, and valid email addresses. Authors must ensure that the paper is prepared using A4 page size and should not contain page numbers, headers, or footers. Regular papers should offer innovative ideas and original contributions within the scope of the conference.

Only full-length regular manuscripts will be considered. Regular papers should be between 8-10 pages in length. For manuscripts exceeding 10 pages, additional page charges may apply.

All papers must be submitted online through the Microsoft CMT submission and review system. Authors who do not already have a CMT account are required to create one before submission. To avoid any last-minute technical issues, authors are strongly advised to complete their registration and submission well before the deadline.

Submitted papers must be original and not under review or published elsewhere. All manuscripts will undergo a peer-review process, and the corresponding author will be informed of the review decision. Selected high quality papers will be considered for publication in a reputed academic publication series, subject to successful peer review and final approval. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the paper during the conference (either physically or in hybrid mode if applicable). All submissions are to be made electronically through the CMT portal only.

Review Process

Initial Screening: All submitted manuscripts will undergo plagiarism checking to ensure originality using standard tools such as Turnitin or iThenticate. Authors are strongly encouraged to verify the plagiarism level of their papers prior to submission. If available, the originality report may be submitted along with the manuscript. Papers exceeding the permissible similarity threshold will be excluded from further review.

Three-Tier Review Process:
First Round: Submissions will be initially evaluated for technical relevance, thematic alignment, and overall suitability within the conference scope.
Second Round: Each paper will undergo a double-blind peer review by at least three independent experts. The evaluation will be based on criteria including originality, novelty, clarity, completeness, relevance, significance, and research contribution.
Final Round: In the third and final stage, the Technical Program Committee will examine all reviewer comments and recommendations. The final acceptance decision will be made by the Technical Program Chairs, considering review outcomes, plagiarism results, and thematic relevance.

Selected high quality papers will be considered for publication in a reputed academic publication series, subject to successful peer review and final approval. Only high-quality papers meeting the scientific standards of the conference will be recommended for publication.

Publication Ethics

ICICTA 2026 follows strict publication ethics and academic integrity standards. All submitted papers must represent original work and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All manuscripts will be checked for plagiarism using standard tools such as Turnitin or iThenticate. Papers with significant similarity or ethical concerns will be rejected without review.

The conference adheres to standard ethical guidelines for scholarly publishing and expects authors, reviewers, and editors to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity.

The conference aims to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and research laboratories to exchange ideas and present recent advances in computing technologies and applications.
