Note: Camera-ready submissions will not be accepted via email. You must use CMT to complete your submission.
Camera-Ready Submission Checklist for Authors
Please go through every point carefully before uploading your files to CMT.
Authors must prepare the camera-ready paper using the official Springer proceedings template in either LaTeX or Microsoft Word. Do not manually create your own format, change margins, reduce font sizes, or adjust spacing to force the paper into the page limit. The final paper must follow the template consistently from the title page to the references.
Submit the final source files along with the final PDF. For LaTeX submissions, include the .tex file, bibliography file such as .bib or .bbl, figure files, and supporting files. For Word submissions, submit the final Word or RTF file. The PDF must exactly match the final source file.
Authors must follow the page limit announced by the conference. Springer notes that full papers are commonly around 12–15 or more pages.
The title should be centered, written in 14-point bold font, and should clearly represent the main contribution of the paper. It should be concise, informative, and free from unnecessary abbreviations. Do not use a period at the end of the title. Avoid overly broad titles if the work is actually focused on a specific method, dataset, experiment, or application.
Use proper title-style capitalization. Important words such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs should begin with capital letters, while short articles, conjunctions, and prepositions are usually not capitalized unless they appear at the beginning. For hyphenated words, capitalize the second part when appropriate, for example "User-Friendly."
Author names must be final, correct, and written consistently. Do not include titles such as Dr., Prof., Professor, PhD, Engr., Mr., or Ms. in the author line. Check spelling, order, and sequence of authors before submission.
If all authors are from the same institution, there is usually no need to put numbering such as 1, 2, 3 before author names. Numbering or superscript markers should mainly be used when authors are from different institutions or have multiple affiliations. Clearly mark one corresponding author in the paper header using an asterisk *.
Authors are encouraged to include their ORCID IDs according to the Springer template. Each ORCID must be correct and must belong to the relevant author only.
The abstract should briefly describe the problem, purpose, method, main results, and conclusion. It should be a compact summary of the whole paper, not just an introduction. Avoid citations, equations, tables, figures, bullets, and footnotes.
Keep the abstract concise and focused. If the conference specifies a word limit, follow it. Avoid vague statements and clearly state what was proposed, tested, evaluated, or found.
Add meaningful keywords after the abstract if required by the template. Use around 4 to 6 keywords unless the conference gives a different requirement.
Use the font provided by the official Springer template. Do not manually change fonts for decoration or emphasis.
Use numbered first-level and second-level headings only. First-level headings should be in 12-point bold, for example "1 Introduction." Second-level headings should be in 10-point bold, for example "2.1 Dataset Description." Do not use "0" in section numbering.
Third-level headings should be unnumbered run-in headings in 10-point bold. Fourth-level headings should be unnumbered run-in headings in 10-point italic. Avoid too many heading levels.
Explain background, research problem, motivation, research gap, main contribution, and paper structure. Keep it focused on the specific problem.
Compare the proposed work with existing studies. Do not only list papers; explain how your work differs or improves on earlier research.
Clearly explain approach, design, model, algorithm, dataset, preprocessing, experimental setup, and evaluation process where applicable.
Present results clearly and explain what they mean, why they matter, and how they compare with existing methods.
Summarize findings, contribution, and limitations. Prefer one clear paragraph; future perspectives can be added briefly at the end.
Use the same terms consistently across the paper unless terms intentionally have different meanings.
Define each abbreviation at first use and use it consistently afterward.
Number formal statements consecutively (e.g., Theorem 1, Theorem 2). Do not use section-based numbering such as Theorem 1.1.
Ensure all figures are clear, readable, and numbered as Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc. Caption must be below each figure, and each figure must be cited in text.
Use vector graphics whenever possible. For line drawings, resolution should be at least 800 dpi, preferably 1200 dpi. Text inside figures should not be smaller than 6 pt.
Figures should remain understandable in black and white. Do not rely only on color; use line styles, labels, markers, patterns, or annotations.
You may include architecture diagrams, workflows, experimental setups, graphs, confusion matrices, sample outputs, or comparison charts. Ensure figures are not blurry, stretched, overcrowded, or low-quality screenshots.
Tables must be editable and must not be pasted as images. Number tables consecutively, place captions above tables, and cite each table in text.
Keep tables clean and within page margins. Avoid unnecessary vertical lines, excessive shading, colored text, or decorative formatting.
Avoid repeating the same information in both a table and a figure unless there is a strong reason.
Equations must be editable and not pasted as images. Displayed equations should be centered and placed on a separate line.
Number only equations referenced in text. Use consecutive numbering such as (1), (2), (3), and avoid section-based numbering like (1.1).
Equations should not be in color. Punctuate equations as part of the sentence where appropriate and define all symbols and variables.
Use footnotes only when necessary, and do not use footnotes in the abstract.
Code snippets should normally be in typewriter-style font, short, and relevant. Avoid long code blocks unless essential.
Do not use color in main text, tables, or equations. If colored figures are used, they must still be understandable in black and white.
Reference each figure, table, equation, section, and appendix properly in text using specific references (e.g., "Fig. 2 shows...").
Authors may be asked to provide alternative text for figures and image-based tables. Alt text should describe meaning, not just mention "image" or "graph."
Use numbered citations in square brackets, such as [1], [2], or [3-5]. Do not use superscript citations.
If the author's name is part of a sentence, cite like "Miller [9] was the first..." and avoid APA-style citations like "Miller (2020)."
Every in-text citation must appear in references, and every reference must be cited in text.
Follow Springer reference style only. Do not mix IEEE, APA, ACM, Harvard, or other formats.
Each reference must be complete and accurate. Authors should include full author names, complete title, journal or conference name, volume, issue, page numbers, publisher where applicable, year, and DOI where available. Incomplete AI-generated references must be corrected before camera-ready submission.
Verify all references suggested by AI tools. Replace incomplete entries with complete and verified bibliographic information.
Do not manually shorten author lists with "et al." when full author information is available.
Include DOIs wherever available to support stable linking and indexing.
Use Latin alphabet transliteration or translation and mention the source language where relevant.
Avoid irrelevant, unreliable, outdated, or weak references used only to increase reference count.
If included, place acknowledgments near the end before references, as per template rules, and keep them brief and relevant.
Include a disclosure statement if required. If none exist, state clearly that there are no competing interests relevant to the article.
If appendices are included, place them before references and label as "Appendix" or "Appendix 1, Appendix 2, ..." as required.
If allowed, include only relevant supplementary files, name them clearly, and refer to them properly in the paper.
Check grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and academic tone for clarity across broad audiences.
Ensure problem statement, contribution, methodology, results, and conclusion are all clear and explicit.
Verify consistency of fonts, headings, captions, equation numbering, references, margins, spacing, and citation style.
Open the final PDF and inspect every page for title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, headings, figures, tables, equations, references, and layout.
