Camera-Ready Submission Checklist for Authors

Please go through every point carefully before uploading your files to CMT.

Template & Source Files
1
Use of official Springer template

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.

2
Final source files and PDF

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.

3
Paper length

Authors must follow the page limit announced by the conference. Springer notes that full papers are commonly around 12–15 or more pages.

Title & Authors
4
Title

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.

5
Title capitalization

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."

6
Author names

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.

7
Author numbering and affiliation markers

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 *.

Example 1: All authors from the same institution
A Deep Learning Framework for Intelligent Medical Image Analysis
John Miller*, Emma Laurent, and Sophie Dubois
Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
john.miller@utoronto.ca*, emma.laurent@utoronto.ca, sophie.dubois@utoronto.ca
*Corresponding author: john.miller@utoronto.ca
Example 2: Authors from different institutions
A Federated Learning Approach for Privacy-Preserving Healthcare Systems
John Miller1*, Emma Laurent2, Sophie Dubois1, and Lucas Schneider3
1 Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
2 Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
3 Department of Computer Science, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany
john.miller@utoronto.ca*, emma.laurent@uio.no, sophie.dubois@utoronto.ca, lucas.schneider@tum.de
*Corresponding author: john.miller@utoronto.ca

10
ORCID IDs

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.

Abstract & Keywords
13
Abstract

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.

14
Abstract length and style

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.

15
Keywords

Add meaningful keywords after the abstract if required by the template. Use around 4 to 6 keywords unless the conference gives a different requirement.

Text Formatting & Content Structure
16
Main text font

Use the font provided by the official Springer template. Do not manually change fonts for decoration or emphasis.

17
Section headings

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.

18
Lower-level headings

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.

19
Introduction

Explain background, research problem, motivation, research gap, main contribution, and paper structure. Keep it focused on the specific problem.

20
Related work

Compare the proposed work with existing studies. Do not only list papers; explain how your work differs or improves on earlier research.

21
Methodology or proposed method

Clearly explain approach, design, model, algorithm, dataset, preprocessing, experimental setup, and evaluation process where applicable.

22
Results and discussion

Present results clearly and explain what they mean, why they matter, and how they compare with existing methods.

23
Conclusion

Summarize findings, contribution, and limitations. Prefer one clear paragraph; future perspectives can be added briefly at the end.

24
Consistency of terminology

Use the same terms consistently across the paper unless terms intentionally have different meanings.

25
Abbreviations

Define each abbreviation at first use and use it consistently afterward.

Theorems & Figures
26
Theorems, lemmas, and propositions

Number formal statements consecutively (e.g., Theorem 1, Theorem 2). Do not use section-based numbering such as Theorem 1.1.

27
Figures

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.

28
Figure quality

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.

29
Figure color and readability

Figures should remain understandable in black and white. Do not rely only on color; use line styles, labels, markers, patterns, or annotations.

30
Figure examples

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 & Equations
31
Tables

Tables must be editable and must not be pasted as images. Number tables consecutively, place captions above tables, and cite each table in text.

32
Table formatting

Keep tables clean and within page margins. Avoid unnecessary vertical lines, excessive shading, colored text, or decorative formatting.

33
Tables versus figures

Avoid repeating the same information in both a table and a figure unless there is a strong reason.

34
Equations and formulae

Equations must be editable and not pasted as images. Displayed equations should be centered and placed on a separate line.

35
Equation numbering

Number only equations referenced in text. Use consecutive numbering such as (1), (2), (3), and avoid section-based numbering like (1.1).

36
Equation style

Equations should not be in color. Punctuate equations as part of the sentence where appropriate and define all symbols and variables.

Other Elements
37
Footnotes

Use footnotes only when necessary, and do not use footnotes in the abstract.

38
Program code

Code snippets should normally be in typewriter-style font, short, and relevant. Avoid long code blocks unless essential.

39
Color usage

Do not use color in main text, tables, or equations. If colored figures are used, they must still be understandable in black and white.

40
Cross-references

Reference each figure, table, equation, section, and appendix properly in text using specific references (e.g., "Fig. 2 shows...").

41
Accessibility and alt text

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."

Citations & References
42
Citations in text

Use numbered citations in square brackets, such as [1], [2], or [3-5]. Do not use superscript citations.

43
Author names in 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)."

44
Reference list completeness

Every in-text citation must appear in references, and every reference must be cited in text.

45
Reference style

Follow Springer reference style only. Do not mix IEEE, APA, ACM, Harvard, or other formats.

46
Reference details and common mistakes

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.

Correct Example: Journal Paper
[1] Smith, J., Brown, A., Muller, T., Rossi, L.: Deep learning-based image classification for medical diagnosis. Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research 45(2), 115–130 (2023). https://doi.org/10.0000/example-doi
Correct Example: Conference Paper
[2] Laurent, E., Schneider, L., Dubois, S., Miller, J.: Federated learning for privacy-preserving healthcare analytics. In: Proceedings of the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, pp. 220–231. Springer, Cham (2024). https://doi.org/10.0000/example-doi
Incorrect Example: Incomplete Author Names Using et al.
[3] Ahmed et al.: A convolutional neural network model for plant disease detection using leaf images. In: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Vision and Smart Agriculture, pp. 88–99. Springer, Cham (2021). https://doi.org/10.0000/example-doi
Why this is incorrect: This reference is incomplete because it uses "et al." instead of full author names and does not provide complete bibliographic details such as full title information, conference or journal name, volume or pages, publisher location if required, and DOI where available.
Corrected Version
[3] Ahmed, R., Novak, P., Eriksson, M., Laurent, E.: A convolutional neural network model for plant disease detection using leaf images. In: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Vision and Smart Agriculture, pp. 88–99. Springer, Cham (2021). https://doi.org/10.0000/example-doi

48
Avoid incomplete AI-generated references

Verify all references suggested by AI tools. Replace incomplete entries with complete and verified bibliographic information.

49
Use of et al. in references

Do not manually shorten author lists with "et al." when full author information is available.

50
DOIs

Include DOIs wherever available to support stable linking and indexing.

51
Non-English references

Use Latin alphabet transliteration or translation and mention the source language where relevant.

52
Reference quality

Avoid irrelevant, unreliable, outdated, or weak references used only to increase reference count.

End Matter
53
Acknowledgments

If included, place acknowledgments near the end before references, as per template rules, and keep them brief and relevant.

54
Disclosure of interests

Include a disclosure statement if required. If none exist, state clearly that there are no competing interests relevant to the article.

55
Appendix

If appendices are included, place them before references and label as "Appendix" or "Appendix 1, Appendix 2, ..." as required.

56
Supplementary material

If allowed, include only relevant supplementary files, name them clearly, and refer to them properly in the paper.

Final Quality Check
57
Language quality

Check grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and academic tone for clarity across broad audiences.

58
Scientific clarity

Ensure problem statement, contribution, methodology, results, and conclusion are all clear and explicit.

59
Formatting consistency

Verify consistency of fonts, headings, captions, equation numbering, references, margins, spacing, and citation style.

60
Final manuscript check

Open the final PDF and inspect every page for title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, headings, figures, tables, equations, references, and layout.
