Authors who require a cc by license (such as researchers funded by UKRI): If you require a CC BY license for your paper, please follow the guidelines described under option 2 on the following website: https://open.ieee.org/ieee-compliance-with-ukri/
Guidelines for Language, Margins, Formats & Templates
All papers submitted to CASE 2024 must be written in English and formatted in the standard IEEE 2-column format. Authors should prepare their papersbased on theLaTextemplate orMicrosoft Word template. Only PDF files will be accepted. Please download the templates from here:
LATEX TEMPLATE
MS WORD TEMPLATE
Further information of how to use thetemplates are available on the Papercept submission portal for LaTex orMicrosoft Word.
Note: Authors are responsible for submitting their paper in the required format. Please do not modify the official templates! All papers that are accepted will be published as submitted by the Author. The Conference is not responsible for editing or correcting errors in the paper.
Plagiarism
All submissions will be tested for similarity and overlap with prior published material using the iThenticate tool. In case of possible violations of the IEEE ethics rules in publishing, the case will be investigated.
Generative AI language tools (e.g., ChatGPT) for publishing and reviews in IEEE CASE conferences
Notes for authors:
Please note that manuscripts generated by generative AI language tools such as ChatGPT are prohibited. If such AI tools generate a small portion of the manuscript, a full reference must be provided. Nevertheless, if generative AI language tools generate inappropriate language, plagiarized content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content, and these contents are included in the manuscript, the responsibility rests entirely on you and the co-author(s).
Generative AI language tools cannot be listed as an author.
Generative AI language tools may be used for light-editing of the author’s original text, such as for spelling and grammar corrections. Authors need to acknowledge such editorial use in the acknowledgement section.
Notes for reviewers:
IEEE has the responsibility to safeguard all the content of any paper submitted to its conferences, e.g. CASE. CASE has the responsibility for safeguarding the integrity of the paper review process. Therefore, any reviewer uploading any content from a paper submitted to a CASE conference to a generative AI language tool is strictly forbidden.
Use of a generative AI language tool for editing your review outcome is also strictly forbidden.
How to create a IEEE Xplore-compatible PDF
Authors can use PDF eXpress to create or check that manuscripts are IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs. IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service allowing authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).
Instruction for first-time users:
- Log in to the IEEE PDF eXpress site https://ieee-pdf-express.org
- Create your PDF eXpress Account: Select the New Users – Click Here link.
- Enter the following:
- 59546X for the Conference ID
- your email address
- a password
Previous users of PDF eXpress need to follow the above steps, but should enter the same password that was used for previous conferences.
