Important Points for Manuscript Preparation

• Paper must be an unpublished novel research work and written in either British or American English, but not both.
• Only one author should be assigned as the Corresponding Author. The number of authors in a manuscript should not exceed 6.
• Full paper submission should be 6 pages long, with an additional charge of ₹2000 per page if exceeding the limit.
• Avoid affiliation/acknowledgement footnotes. If unavoidable, insert them at the end of the text, just above the references.
• All tables or figures must be numbered and of high quality.
• Authors should thoroughly review typographical and grammatical errors. If English is not your first language, have a native English speaker proofread your paper. Papers may be returned if the English is insufficient for publication.
• All articles will be submitted through CMT. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements.

Paper Formatting

• Articles may be edited for clarity and grammatical accuracy and copy-edited according to publisher manuscript style.
• Papers must use Times New Roman, single spacing, and justified alignment according to the IEEE template.
• Each paper should include the sections listed below:
  1. Abstract
  2. Introduction, Background, Motivation and Objective
  3. Methods and Statement of Contribution
  4. Results, Discussions and Conclusion
  5. Future Research Direction
• The manuscript should be prepared in IEEE format using MS Word.
• Figures, graphs and plots must have good resolution (600 dpi or more). Tables must not be pictorial. Figure text should be legible and preferably similar in size to the article text.
• Do not use social/academic titles (Mr., Ms., Dr., Prof., etc.) before author names. Do not mention positions (research scholar, student, assistant professor, professor, IEEE member, etc.) in affiliations.
• Include the full address, affiliation and email of all authors. Identify one corresponding author and email address for publisher proofreading correspondence. Use grammatically correct, spell-checked English.
• Number all references, figures and tables sequentially starting from 1, and cite or refer to them in the text.

Review Process

• To ensure high scientific quality, all papers will be reviewed by Scientific Committee Members.
• After review, the corresponding author will be notified of acceptance, revision or rejection by email. Authors should address reviewer feedback before final submission.

Notification of Acceptance or Rejection

• On or before the scheduled date, the organizing committee will notify the corresponding author of acceptance or rejection. Accepted authors are encouraged to update papers in response to reviewers' recommendations.
• Rejection may result from out-of-scope work or high plagiarism. Rejected papers will not be reconsidered; authors should not resubmit the same rejected paper.

Academic Ethics and Conference Policy

Authors should follow the guidelines below. If disputes arise during peer review or after acceptance/publication and authors cannot provide a valid explanation, ICSDS-2027 retains the right to remove the submission from the editing process.

Plagiarism

• Acceptable plagiarism is less than 10% (excluding references), with 0% AI plagiarism, according to the supplied conference policy.
• Plagiarism, image manipulation and data fabrication are not tolerated.
• Plagiarism includes copying ideas, text, images or data from other research, including an author's own publications, without credit.
• Copied text must be quoted and cited. Any research design, structure or language inspired by earlier work must explicitly cite it.
• Plagiarism detected during review leads to rejection; plagiarism detected after publication may lead to retraction.

Copyright

• Authors/editors are responsible for third-party content reproduced or adapted from other sources.
• Authors must obtain, document and pay for all necessary permissions where applicable, including permissions required for reuse in new editions.
