Submission via Microsoft CMT
Microsoft CMT Submission Portal
All papers must be submitted through Microsoft CMT (cmt3.research.microsoft.com), the official online paper management system for ICETCIS 2027. CMT is provided free of charge by Microsoft and handles the complete lifecycle: submission, assignment, review, decision, and camera-ready upload.
The direct submission link for ICETCIS 2027 will be published here and on the CMT portal once the conference is active. Authors should create a free CMT account at cmt3.research.microsoft.com in advance of the submission deadline.
Double-Blind Review
ICETCIS 2027 follows a strict double-blind review process. Manuscripts must be fully anonymised: remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, and any self-identifying references before submission. Minimum three independent reviews per paper; borderline cases resolved by the Track TPC Chair.
Plagiarism Screening
All shortlisted papers are screened using an institutional plagiarism detection tool. Overall similarity must be below 10% with no single source exceeding 3%. References, bibliography, and properly cited quotations are excluded from the similarity calculation.
Submission Policy
AI-Generated Content Policy
Submissions must be entirely written by the authors. The permitted AI-generated content in any submitted paper is 0% — text produced by large language models, AI writing assistants, or any automated text generation tool is not allowed in any form. Papers found to contain AI-generated content will be desk-rejected without review.
Plagiarism Policy
Submitted papers must have an overall similarity score below 10% and must not exceed 3% similarity from any single source, as checked via the institutional plagiarism detection tool. Papers exceeding this threshold will be rejected without entering the review process.
Excluded from similarity calculation: references, bibliography, quoted material with citation, and author names and affiliations.
