Use the official Springer templates (LaTeX2e or Word), available on the Springer website or below to prepare papers of all submission types.

We accept three categories of submissions:

1. Full Papers (most preferred submission type), 10-> pages 
2. Short Papers: 4-9 pages 
3. Abstracts: 1-3 pages  

Accepted full and short papers will be published in the Springer CCIS Open Access proceedings and indexed in SCOPUS, EI Compendex, DBLP, INSPEC, SCImago, etc. Abstracts will be included in the backmatter of the published volume (not indexed). 

Paper structure and other guidelines: 

• Include the following sections: Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods / Study Scenario, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, References, Acknowledgements.  

• Use original images or obtain copyright permissions in advance.  

• Use numbered citation style (e.g., [1], [2]) and list references in order of appearance.  

• Include your ORCID if available.  

• Use of AI in manuscript preparation is limited and must follow Springer’s rules explained here.

Anonymization of the first submission: The review process is double-blind: authors, reviewers, and area chairs must remain anonymous; therefore you must remove author names, affiliations, and un-identify the self-references from the manuscript for the first submission.
