Author Guidelines

All submissions must be in English only.

• All submissions should be blind. The author names, affiliations, emails, and other details in the ‘author panel’ below the paper title should be kept blank.
• Manuscript length must be 4-6 pages as per IEEE Conference format. Please download the template from the link: Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings
• Manuscripts less than 4 pages or greater than 6 pages will be rejected without review.
• The submission of manuscripts should be done in PDF format only (submission file size within 10 MB), through [email protected], as provided on the homepage.
• The authors need to choose a track while submitting a manuscript. However, the Technical Program Committee reserves the right to shift the paper to another track based on the relevance and content of the research.
• Once a manuscript is submitted to [email protected], it is immediately sent for review. Hence, authors are requested to submit only the final version. Editing or updating the manuscript after submission may lead to delays or complications in the review process.
• All submissions will undergo a double-blind review. Acceptance will be based on quality, originality, technical content, and relevance to the conference theme.
• This conference will adopt flexible deadlines to ensure maximum participation. ‘Rolling acceptance’ will be provided in phases. A list containing ‘Papers Accepted’, ‘Papers with Major Revision’, ‘Papers with Minor Revision’, and ‘Papers Rejected’ will be published in each phase. Deadlines for revision submission, final acceptance, and registration will be communicated via email and the conference website.
• In case of early ‘final acceptance’, authors of accepted papers are required to register early as per the communication email.
• At least one author of each accepted paper must register under the ‘Authors’ category to present the work at the conference. IEEE members must submit proof of active membership to claim any registration discount.
• The participation certificate will be awarded only to the registered author. If the registered author is unable to present, a co-author may present the paper with prior permission from the organizers.
• Only papers presented at the conference venue will be sent to IEEE for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. IEEE’s ‘No Show’ policy will apply to papers not presented.
• Registration fees are non-refundable.
• There is no ‘late registration’ category for authors. All authors of accepted papers must register within the due date to include their manuscript in the conference proceedings.

Publication Ethics

Every paper submitted to ICRTCST-2026 will be checked for plagiarism using anti-plagiarism software (Turnitin) before being sent for pre-conference review. Authors must adhere to high publication ethics standards. Falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism (including duplicate publication without proper citation), and misappropriation of work are unacceptable and will lead to rejection.

Change of Author(s) & Affiliation(s) Details

ICRTCST-2026 strictly prohibits changes to the author names, sequence, or affiliations after submission. The details in the submitted manuscript must match the final camera-ready version. Any discrepancy found at any stage will result in REJECTION and removal from the final proceedings.
