Submission Requirements

We invite authors to submit original, high-quality research papers to the ICI3DS 2027 International Conference.

All submissions must represent original work that has not been published elsewhere and must not be currently under consideration for publication by another conference or journal.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submissions comply with the conference’s formatting, ethical, and publication requirements.

Papers are submitted as PDF files through the Microsoft CMT submission system.

To ensure consistency and high-quality production of the ICI3DS 2027 Conference Proceedings, authors must strictly adhere to the formatting guidelines and use the official conference templates.

Language: All manuscripts must be written in clear, academic English.

Length: Each paper should be approximately 6 pages in length, including figures, tables, and references.

Double-Blind Submission

For the initial submission, the PDF must be fully anonymised: remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgements and any self-identifying references from the manuscript and from the file properties. Author details are added only in the final (camera-ready) version.

Peer-Review & Selection Process

All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process by members of the Scientific Committee.

• Originality: Submitted work must be original and must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

• Technical Quality: Papers should present scientifically sound and technically rigorous research.

• Relevance: Submissions must be relevant to the themes and scope of ICI3DS 2027.

• Clarity: Manuscripts should be clearly written, well structured, and presented in accordance with the conference guidelines.

• Final Decision: The Scientific Committee reserves the right to reject submissions that do not meet the required scientific and technical standards. Decisions regarding acceptance or rejection are final.

Publishing Ethics & AI Policy

Originality & Plagiarism

All submissions must be original. Papers may be screened for plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct.

Authors are responsible for the originality, accuracy, validity, and integrity of their submitted work.

Generative AI

Authors must comply with the Taylor & Francis AI Policy and the specific requirements applicable to the ICI3DS 2027 Conference Proceedings.

The responsible use of Generative AI tools may be permitted for limited purposes, such as language improvement, provided that authors maintain appropriate human oversight and remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, validity, and integrity of their work.

Any use of Generative AI tools in the preparation of a manuscript must be transparently disclosed and documented, including the full name of the tool (with version number), how it was used, and the reason for its use. Disclosure is made in the AI Verification Form submitted with the final version.

Generative AI must not be used to create or alter images, figures, charts, data tables, computer code, formulas, or original research data.

AI-generated content will not be accepted for publication in the ICI3DS 2027 Conference Proceedings. Authors must not use Generative AI in a manner that replaces their core research or author responsibilities. Generative AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors.

Authors are responsible for verifying all AI-assisted content and ensuring that it is accurate, properly supported, and compliant with applicable copyright, confidentiality, and research-ethics requirements.
