Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit full (and original research) papers (6-12 pages) including surveys, tutorials, perspective/colloquia articles in conference topics of interest through the EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsf2020) by December 31, 2019.

Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers on the basis of technical quality, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. If necessary, a fourth, additional reviewer will be involved. The Program Committee will use these reviews to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation at the conference. The result of the reviewing will be announced to the submitting authors by email, along with reviewer comments, if any.

Primary requirements

Submissions should be:
basically, correct and sound;
original (not published elsewhere partly or in full and not submitted to other venues for simultaneous consideration);
presented at the conference (at least one author of each article should attend to the conference);
in line with the scope of ICSF.
A maximum of two articles per author is accepted.
One paper shouldn't have more than five authors.
The number of references in the list of references should not be less than 10.
Self-citations should not exceed 10 %.
Authors are encouraged to refer to the Committee on Publishing Ethics (COPE) for all aspects of publication ethics (http://publicationethics.org/) and to strictly conform to the ethical rules described on https://www.e3s-conferences.org/about-the-journal/publishing-policies-ethics, in particular:
A single study is not split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and submitted to various edited book projects or journals or to one journal over time (e.g. "salami-publishing").
No data have been fabricated or manipulated (including images) to support the manuscript's conclusions.
No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the authors own ("plagiarism"). Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions are secured for material that is copyrighted.
Consent to submit has been received from all co-authors and responsible authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been carried out before the work is submitted.
Authors whose names appear on the submission have contributed sufficiently to the scientific work and therefore share collective responsibility and accountability for the results.
