Prepare your manuscript

Before submitting your manuscript to ICoDiT 2026, please ensure that it fully complies with the conference guidelines. All submitted manuscripts must adhere to the following requirements:

1. Complete Paper : Only original and unpublished work may be submitted as a complete paper. All submissions must be written in English and carefully reviewed to ensure grammatical accuracy and correct spelling. Papers should address one or more conference topics and must clearly articulate the nature of their technical or scientific contribution, as well as the problems, domains, or environments to which the work applies.
2. Author Identity : All submissions will be reviewed using a double-blind review process. The identity of authors and referees will not be revealed to each other. To ensure blind reviewing, authors names and affiliations should not appear in the paper; bibliographic references should be made in such a way as to preserve author anonymity.
3. Manuscript Format (IMRaD) :Prepare your manuscript using the IMRaD structure: Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion. Each section should clearly reflect its respective part in the IMRaD format.
4. Conference Template : Manuscripts must be written using the official ACM conference template. Follow all formatting instructions carefully. The template for Word user can be downloaded [here] and for LATEX user can be downloaded [here]. Before using the ACM LaTeX article template, everyone should read the TeX User Guide which comprises the first section of the document; authors who plan to use their own packages should read the longer TeX Implementation Guide which follows. To ensure 100% compatibility, please check the approved list of LaTeX packages to be used with the Primary Article Template before creating your document. The approved LaTeX packages page also provides information on how to submit additional LaTeX packages for review and adoption.
5. Page Limit Manuscripts should be 8 pages long. While the number of pages will not affect the peer review process, note that if your paper is accepted, additional pages beyond the first 8 will incur extra charges.
6. Relevance to Conference Theme
   Ensure that your manuscript aligns with the conference theme and topics. All submissions must focus on the computer science domain. Papers that discuss IT merely as a tool in other fields will be rejected. Refer to the Conference Scope of Topics for detailed information.
7. Generative AI Policy : 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.” The guide can see [here]
8. Similarity / Plagiarism Check :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 ICODIT 2026 (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.
9. References : Ensure your manuscript includes an adequate number of references. At least 100% of references should come from valid, reputable sources such as journals, conference proceedings, books, or official datasets.  Make sure 70% of the references are updated references, no more than the last 5 years. This conference uses  ACM Reference Format for its citation and reference style.
