Requirements for Final Papers
- Template and Format:
- Final papers must be submitted in PDF and the original source format (Word or Latex) format using one of the provided templates:
- In all cases, use the specific dimensions indicated in the paper template, and create the PDF from that document for submission. IEEE compliance of submitted papers will be checked before they can appear in the conference proceedings and IEEE Explore database.
- Review Comments:
- You must provide a point-by-point response to reviewer comments as part of the process of uploading the revised paper. Clearly describe changes made to address the reviewer comments. Do not mark changes on the PDF final paper submission file.
- Copyright:
- You must transfer the copyright for your paper during the final paper submission process.
- Plagiarism:
- IITherm uses the IEEE Cross Check plagiarism-checking system. This system identifies issues including sections of your paper that are substantially the same as one of your earlier papers, other submitted papers in same conference, or sections have been copied from another published paper by other authors or from the Internet. IEEE has a strict approach to both using your own previously published material (self-plagiarism), as well as copying from other’s works. When you find it useful to quote other papers, please place a citation in your References, and summarize the other material rather than copying it word for word into your own paper. A paper will not be accepted if it has significant overlap to other works including your own previous publications. This includes overlap in the introduction, test methodologies, etc.
- AI Policy and Disclosure (from IEEE):
- The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication or conference. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content. The use of AI systems for minor editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of this policy.
- Registration:
- At least one of the authors listed on the paper must register for ITherm 2026 by the author deadline of April 6 at the published registration rate.
- In-Person Attendance:
- Virtual sessions are NOT planned for ITherm 2026. If you are not able to attend in-person to present your work, please make alternate arrangements with colleagues from your institution who are attending, or collaborators or individuals from other institutions, to present your work in your place. These presenters need not be co-authors on the paper but should be able to clearly present your work to the audience. Your paper must be presented in order to be included in the IEEE Proceedings.
