Conference Guides for [IEEE-CIS, INNS] conferences : Although this guide was initially set up for IJCNN2019, and was used for IEEE WCCI 2020, hopefully some of the basic information may still help [organising committee members, authors] up to 2023-2025 (assuming a half-life of links and process information of 3-5 years?). The Authors' and Publications menus have been combined, allowing authors to see the Publications Chair perspective as well. I am no longer keeping this up to date. Bill Howell, 11Dec2020

Problematic papers - author [corrections, formatting, re-submission]

Table of Contents :


How do I know that my paper is problematic?


In the case of IJCNN2019, the [Publications, Technical] Co-Chairs and myself went through all of the papers looking for obvious formatting problems. I also put together a spreadsheet of CrossCheck results that was available to authors.

Our notes and results were put together in a "problematic papers" file. Not all of the papers includd actually had problems - sometimes they were in a list as a note to re-check some of the work, and the statatus of the papers.

Every conference will be different, but found that the authors' active involvement in the process was very effective in moving things along.
In that sense, having tools available allows authors to do their own checks before these become a problem later in the process.

Re-submission of papers AFTER the final paper submission

Of course, the intent was that papers were not to be changed AFTER their final submission to Tomasz Choleewo's paper review system. That's fine for most papers, but a significant portion WILL require corrections that were missed in the previous steps of the conference paper process, so that they qualify for IEEE Xplore online availability.

Tomasz Cholewo's paper review system cannot be used by authors for these late stage paper submissions. (Actually it can, but it's simpler to collect all the modified papers so they can be uploaded together.) Authors should therefore email their papers to the Publications Chair Chul Sung.

REMINDERS : This Authors' Guide is specific to the IEEE conference paper system, and for the most part links to, or repeats, information that is COPYRIGHTED by the IEEE. Keep in mind that the IEEE processes something like 1,800 conferences per year, and delays exceeding a week are to be expected, with longer delays during high-activity parts of the year. So don't wait too long before starting each process!
Author preparations for the conference include (roughly in squence) :
  1. Initial submission of your paper to the IEEE paper review system.
  2. Receipt of an email paper acceptance notification from the Program Co-Chairs via the IEEE paper review system.
  3. Payment of the conference registration fee. At least one of the co-authors must be registered for the conference to present the paper.
  4. IEEE approval of a signed IEEE electronic Copyright form (eCf) (online submission)
  5. Submission and approval of a properly revised final paper.
  6. Travel visa approval, for citizens of countries required to do that by Hungary.
  7. ?What else have I forgotten? ...
