Instructions to prepare Camera Ready paper and eCF

Step-1:

The authors will have to submit a camera-ready version as per the guidelines given on the conference website on or before 20th May 2025. Please make sure that plagiarism of your manuscript must be less than 30%, using standard plagiarism checking software (e.g Turnitin), before submitting the camera-ready paper from your end to confirm the inclusion of the paper in IEEE Xplore. If Plagiarism will be more than 30%, then your paper will not be forwarded for the publication in IEEE Xplore.

The authors are urged to ensure that the camera-ready submission strictly follows the IEEE Template given on the conference website https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

The number of pages in Final Camera-Ready Paper must be within 6-8 Pages. The camera-ready papers that do not meet these requirements will not be submitted for further consideration to IEEE Xplore.

Step-2:

At least one author must register with Full Author Registration and present the selected paper at SeFeT 2025, for the paper to be considered for inclusion on IEEE Xplore and subsequently eligible to be considered for possible consideration for further review to IEEE Transaction on Industry Applications. Each registration is meant for ONE (01) participant to attend the conference only (Certificate will be given to him/her only). Co-author(s) who are also attending the conference, and require certificate, will need to register separately under appropriate registration category.

The final manuscript should have the copyright clearance code notice at the bottom of the first page. Kindly refer to the latex/word template provided here: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html and replace the dummy code at the first page bottom with this code:

  • For papers in which all authors are employed by the US government, the copyright notice is : U.S. Government work not protected by U.S. copyright
  • For papers in which all authors are employed by a Crown government (UK, Canada, and Australia), the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-3544-5/25/$31.00 ©2025 Crown
  • For papers in which all authors are employed by the European Union, the copyright notice is: 979-8-3315-3544-5/25/$31.00 ©2025 European Union
