ICCSCI 2025 AUTHORS’ GUIDELINES

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

Before submitting your manuscript to ICCSCI 2025, please make sure that your manuscript has comply with the conference’s guidelines. Any manuscript submitted to the ICCSCI 2025 must adhere to these points:

  1. Prepare your manuscript using IMRaD format (Introduction, Method, Result, and Discussion). Each section should represent each part in IMRaD correctly.
  2. Write your manuscript using the conference template. Follow the guidelines given in the template correctly. The paper template can be acquired here.
  3. Your manuscript should be written between 4 to 10 pages long. Although in review process the number of pages will not be included as review criteria. Please remember that if the paper is accepted, we will charge extra for each page exceeding 10 pages.
  4. Please ensure that the topic in your manuscript is suitable with the conference theme and topics. Any submitted manuscript MUST contain topics on the computer science domain. The main knowledge must be in computer science. Any manuscript that talks about the usage of IT (IT as a tool) within any other domain of knowledge will be rejected. Please refer to the Conference Scope of Topics for further information: here.
  5. To ensure double blindness, DO NOT put any authors’ information on the manuscript. This includes names, email addresses, and any affiliations. Location of the research, if referring to the same affiliation with the authors, should be changed into “XXX” for the review process. This change only applies to a specific location, for example, “Bina Nusantara University.” Any city or any other general geographic marker are excluded from this rule. This naming rule will be revoked when the paper is accepted for publication. All authors’ information and location of the research should be opened to the public to ensure transparency.
  6. This conference limits the usage of any generative AI tools only for manuscript preparation/writing (e.g., paraphrase or translation). Please ensure that your manuscript does not contain any other material acquired from generative AI tools (such as data, references, or images). If your paper does use AI for manuscript preparation, you’ll need to declare the usage in the paper. Add a section at the end of your manuscript (before the reference list) named “AI Usage Declaration.” Add your statement regarding the usage of AI, for example, “We declare that we use AI Tools [provide the name of the AI tools] in this manuscript to check for grammar and paraphrasing. The result from AI is not used directly and is under human supervision for error checking.”
  7. Please ensure that the similarity rating for your manuscript does not exceed 20%. The threshold excludes references, and any header/footer of the paper template. If you check your manuscript similarity before submitting to ICCSCI 2025 (especially when using Turnitin), ensure that you DO NOT save the result to a repository. This is to prevent faulty similarity results when we check your manuscript after submission.
  8. Please ensure that your manuscript has an adequate number of references. Please make sure that, at least, 60% of your references come from valid resources (journal, conference proceedings, books, or any official data sources) and are at least within 5 years from submission.

CITATION & REFERENCES

This conference uses Vancouver Style for its citation and reference style. Any citation should be cited as a bracketed number, such as [1]. The number should start at [1] and increase in order of appearance. As for the references, they should be written in the order of citation appearance (thus, the same as the citation number). There is no maximum limit on references. However, please ensure that only related references are included in the manuscript. For more information on Vancouver style, please refer to the Elsevier’s Standard Reference Style.

REVIEW PROCESS

To ensure transparency and accountability in the review process and to ensure the quality of the presented paper, we explain our review process in ICCSCI 2025. The review process of ICCSCI 2025 is as follows:

  1. Each manuscript will be subjected to 2 review phases: the desk evaluation and peer review.
  2. At the desk evaluation, each manuscript will be checked for conformity to the conference’s topics and paper format. Each manuscript will also be checked for similarity and AI-generated content using Turnitin. Any manuscript that exceeds 20% in similarity index or more than 50% AI-generated probability will be rejected and will not be sent to peer review. The rejection notice will be sent to the author directly after the decision is made.
  3. Any manuscript that passes the desk evaluation will be sent to peer review. Each manuscript will be reviewed by several reviewers. A minimum of two reviews is required for decision-making.
  4. All decisions about acceptance will be notified on the notification date, whether accepted or rejected. This policy only applies to manuscripts that are rejected after review, not for manuscripts that have been rejected in the desk evaluation.
  5. All accepted papers need to be revised to adjust to the paper template (the final paper template will be given after the acceptance notification) and to accommodate reviewers’ input (if any). The revision should be done before the final paper submission deadline. Any paper that fails to do this will have its acceptance retracted.
  6. After the final paper submission, all manuscripts will be prepared for publication. In this phase, the Track Director might contact the authors to request a change in their manuscript. Otherwise, the manuscript will be edited and prepared by the Track Director.

SUBMISSION LINK

Before submission, ensure that you have read and understood this checklist:

  • Your manuscript topic matches the conference topics.
  • Your manuscript has been blinded from any data that might reveal the authors’ information.
  • Submit your manuscript by using the Microsoft Conference Management Tools (CMT) on this link: Submit Your Paper.
  • All authors’ names and information (including email) must be inserted into CMT when you submit your application. This information will not be visible to the author, only to the track director, so the review process will still be double-blinded.
