Author Responsibilities

We want to provide you with an easy and professional experience at every stage of your publishing journey. To help us achieve this goal, you, as the author, also have some responsibilities. These include:

• Responding quickly to queries during the review and publication process.
• Taking responsibility for all aspects of your work, including ensuring copyright is not violated and permissions are obtained, and swiftly resolving any issues relating to the integrity and accuracy of your research, should any arise.
• Familiarize yourself with our ethical policies for authors and comply with our guidelines, including acknowledging everyone who has made a substantial and meaningful contribution to the submitted manuscript.

Preparing Your Submission

We offer a full array of manuscript preparation services to help improve the quality of your manuscript, save time, and maximise the impact of your research. Our easy-to-use platform connects authors with relevant experts in language support, translation, editing, statistical review and more. More details are available here.

Please note that this is an optional service and does not guarantee acceptance.

Submission Process

The submission process is overseen by the editorial board of the conference at which the manuscript was presented.

Manuscript Requirements

Each specific conference will have its own guidelines on the format, style and structure to use for manuscripts. More information can be obtained from the conference Call for Papers or by contacting the conference organizers. Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure that your work complies with all guidelines.

For more general guidance, please refer to our Author Style Guide.

Submission Checklist

Submitting your manuscript is simple with the online submission system. But to make sure the process is as easy as possible, read through the checklist below to ensure you have everything ready.

• Always double-check your manuscript before submitting it, as it is your responsibility to ensure that it is complete, meets the journal’s criteria and has no spelling or typographical errors.
• Have a final read of the journal’s scope and aims, and make sure your article is a good fit and that your research is presented in a suitable way to match the scope.
• Does the manuscript comply with all of the stated ethics policies?
• Have you acquired all the necessary copyright permissions?
• Make sure you have removed all information that would allow the peer reviewers to identify you and thereby compromise the blind peer review process. (Also, if quoting your previous work, do not state it explicitly as ‘my / our’)
• Keep acknowledgements and author biographies as separate documents.

Workflow

Each specific conference will have its own workflow and acceptance processes. More information can be obtained by contacting the conference organizers.

If accepted by the conference, the manuscript will then undergo the following steps with the publisher:

• Proofing and typesetting
• Author checks
• Editor checks
• Galley proof preparation
• Final checks
• Publishing online
