Submission Guidelines

For Accepted Paper Preparation (Final Camera-ready version!!)

Accepted papers should have 12-15 pages. Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. The Author Guidelines document summarizes how a proceedings paper should be structured, how elements (headings, figures, references) should be formatted using predefined styles, etc. It also gives some insight on how a paper will be typeset at Springer.
Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.

Users of MS Word

Production of the paper will be a much smoother process if authors make use of the available MS Word template, which incorporates all the recommended formatting guidelines:
Template supporting MS-Word 2003 and 2017. Instructions for installing and using the author template are also available. Download Here!!.
Users of LaTeX

Authors who wish to use LaTeX2e for the preparation of their manuscript should download the corresponding support file available by Springer and check the included readme.txt file for further instructions. The LaTeX2e source file is available here. Download.

We encourage Overleaf users to use Springer's proceedings template for LaTeX

License-to-Publish FORM

Each paper must be accompanied by a Springer License-to-publish Form, a so-called "Consent-to-Publish" form. Authors will be asked to transfer the copyright of the paper to Springer. This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws. The corresponding author may sign on behalf of all of the authors of a particular paper. In this case, the corresponding author signs for and accepts responsibility for releasing the material on behalf of any and all co-authors.

Modified forms are not acceptable.

The “Title of the Contribution” (i.e., paper title) and the List of Authors should match exactly the title and the list of authors of the paper.
