Preparing the camera-ready manuscript

  • The equations, units, figures, tables and references should be according to the IEEE format.
  • The length of the manuscript must not exceed 6 pages of A4 sized paper (210 mm × 297 mm) in PDF format including the name(s) of the author(s), texts, figures, tables, and references.
  • The similarity index of your paper should not be higher than 30%. Please note that if IEEE Crosscheck finds more than 30% similarity then the paper cannot be uploaded in IEEE Xplore and hence will not be accepted for presentation. We will notify you about similarity percentage once you upload your camera-ready manuscript.
  • Revise your manuscript carefully according to the comments of the reviewers and do thorough proofreading of the manuscript to confirm that it will require no revision.
  • Please write down the full name(s) of the authors. Please do not put title of any author in the authors list, i.e., do not write Dr. YYY or Prof. YYY.
  • Please do not write the positions/designations of the authors in affiliations.
  • The manuscript should not contain page numbers.
  • Before Creating a PDF you must
    • Add the Copyright clearance code notice to the bottom left corner of the first page of your source document (MS Word or LaTeX). 978-1-5386-8524-2/18/$31.00 ©2018 IEEE
  • Add the Title of the Conference on the top right corner of the first page of your manuscript
  • For MS Word manuscripts you may use this example template and for LaTeX manuscript see the instructions here on how to insert the copyright notice.
  • Go to IEEE PDF eXpress plus website (http://www.pdf-express.org/plus) and setup your IEEE PDF express plus account with the Conference ID: 44941XP
    • First time users need to create IEEE PDF eXpress account. Log in to the IEEE PDF eXpress site. Enter 44941XP for conference ID, your email address and a password. An Online confirmation will be displayed and an email confirmation will be sent verifying your account setup.
    • Previous users of PDF eXpress need to follow the above steps, but should enter the same password that was used for previous conferences.
    • For each conference paper, click “Create New Title”.
    • Enter title info
    • Click “Submit File for Checking or Converting”.
    • Click “Choose File” and navigate to file, and click “Upload File”. Please wait. Email confirmation will be received for successful upload.
    • Once the conversion is completed, an email will be received with the IEEE Xplore compliant PDF of the paper as an attachment.
    • From the final formatted manuscript, authors must generate the electronic FINAL version in PDF format that is compatible with IEEE Xplore. It is strongly recommended that the source file (MS Word or LaTeX) containing the final version of the paper must be transformed in the PDF format using the IEEE PDF eXpress plus web tool. PDF files generated by other means will still have to be checked by the IEEE PDF eXpress plus web tool for IEEE Xplore-compatibility.

Preparing the IEEE Copyright Form

  • In addition to the copyright clearance code notice described in paper format, your final manuscript submission must be accompanied by a properly filled and signed IEEE Copyright Form.
  • Download the IEEE Copyright Form from

(http://www.ieee.org/documents/ieeecopyrightform.docx or http://www.ieee.org/documents/ieeecopyrightform.pdf )

  • Fill in the information as required in the downloaded copyright form, put your signature in the appropriate place and then scan it. Upload the scanned copyright form.
  • Carefully check the Paper-Title, Paper-ID, Author(s) Names and their sequence of appearance in the paper during copyright form fill-up. Your manuscript cannot be accepted if there is any mismatch or discrimination between those information in the submitted copyright form, camera-ready paper and in the CMT Submission system.

Upload the following three items to the CMT submission system

(https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/ICISET2018)

  1. IEEE Xplore compatible final manuscript in PDF format (filename NNN_paper.pdf; NNN is the paper ID)
  2. Source files used to generate IEEE Xplore compatible final manuscript. It should be either a zipped file containing all your LaTeX sources or a Word file in DOC or DOCX format (filename NNN_src.zip or NNN_src.doc or NNN_src.docx).
  3. IEEE Copyright Form in PDF format, signed and scanned after filling in all the necessary information (filename NNN_copyright.pdf)

Adding copyright notice to the bottom of the first page of the manuscript and signing IEEE Copyright Form is not required for the papers of Pharmacy and Biological Science track.
