For papers to appear in the IEEE Xplore ICRoM 2021 Publication, six pages in the standard IEEE Conference Paper Format based on the LaTeX template or Microsoft Word template are allowed for each paper. A maximum of two additional pages are permitted at an extra charge of $50 per page, payable at the time of submitting the camera-ready version of the paper.

At least one of the authors listed on the paper must be registered for the conference when the final manuscript is uploaded. A single regular conference registration can be used to upload up to two papers. A single student conference registration can be used to upload only one paper. Please upload your registration confirmation with your paper number, with the following final submission procedure.

Step 2: Check that the names of all authors and their order is identical in the EasyChair, the paper, the digest file, and the poster. Please write author names with only the first letter capitalized, that is, use Firstname Lastname in all instances, and do not use FIRSTNAME LASTNAME anywhere. Please see that author names are updated in their EasyChair accounts before the final submission information is completed.

Step 3: Create a PDF version of your paper and perform the IEEE PDF compliance test (URL). If your paper does not pass the test, you cannot continue and need to revise the format of your paper until it passes the test. Use the following instructions:

1- Go to https://ieee-pdf-express.org/account/Login website (or first create an account);
2- Enter : 54204X for conference ID, an Email Address, and a password;
3- Continue to enter information as prompted;
4- Save the approved pdf file and include that in your file submission at EasyChair.

* Paper: {pdf-express-id}.pdf | PDF Xpress Approval: Approval e-mail of PDF Xpress process (e-mail’s text to pdf)

Step 4: Please prepare a one-page conference Digest slide (a .tex file) that summarizes your paper. You must only use the ICRoM2021 Digest template. Please prepare a .tex file in LaTeX format, including the names, affiliations, the paper’s title, and research highlights. The name of the file should be the same as your paper submission number in EasyChair (e.g., 123.tex). Note that: (1) authors must fill their full names instead of initials; (2) Do not delete the percent signs (%) at the end of the lines in the input file; (3) In the input file, “Targets” are not the abstract of the paper; they are just highlights (important findings) of the research. You can access a sample .tex file here (Latex file)

Step 5: Please provide us with a descriptive figure representative of your contribution. The file must be square-sized, with a resolution of no more than 300×300 pixels (a 300×300 pixel .jpg file). The name of the file should be the same as your paper submission number in EasyChair (e.g., 123.jpg).

Step 6:  Authors of all the accepted papers should also prepare a poster for possible presentation at the conference website. Posters created with colorful content submitted in a PDF file on A1 size (841mm height x 594.5mm width), and must convey the essence of the presented work in an informative and visually attractive way. Some tips for preparing posters are provided in this file or this link. Please use ICRoM 2021 Poster template.

Step 7:  To process the copyright transfer for each contribution, follow the Copyright Transfer Form, and you will be taken to the IEEE copyright transfer site (IEEE eCP) in a new window. Follow the steps as described on IEEE eCP pages and make sure that the paper title and author list are correct before you perform the copyright transfer. Once the copyright has been transferred, you cannot update it via EasyChair. Please keep your IEEE eCopyright transfer approval file ready for final submission to EasyChair.

Step 8: Register for the conference, indicating your paper submission number in EasyChair and any extra pages, through the author registration site. Please note that with a full registration you may upload two papers, while with a student registration only one paper can be uploaded.

Step 9: Upload the following files in EasyChair; By viewing your submission and using “Add or update files” tab on the top right side.
