Initial Paper Submission Instructions

The conference caters to both practitioners and academics. For this purpose, the format of submissions, following your initial structured abstract, is divided into two categories, with different submission requirements. All tracks of technical paper submissions adhere to the following directions as well. Please carefully read the Author Instructions listed here to ensure an accurate submission.

IEEE EDUCON 2027 solicits original work not under consideration for publication in any other conference or journal. We welcome the submissions in the following categories:

• Research and application papers:

  • Full Papers (6-8 pages maximum) are expected to be completed studies with defined findings and implications, and are expected to demonstrate rigor in methodology, analysis, and relevance to the EDUCON community.

  • Short Papers (3-4 pages maximum) should present studies with clear findings and implications. While more concise than Full Papers, Short Papers are still expected to demonstrate rigor in methodology, analysis, and relevance to the EDUCON community.

  • Posters (2-3 pages) should present studies with clear findings and implications, but also with methodology, analysis and references. 

• Workshops & Panels:

  • Workshops & Panels (2 - 3 pages)are expected to include a list of goals for the session, a summary of the scope, outlines the core questions, sub-topics, or conflicting viewpoints contributed, information, tasks planned to be provided and expected outcome, an agenda, a description of the anticipated audience, attendees takeaway, any special requirements, your qualification to lead the session and contact information.

  • If you want that your workshop, panel information to be published in IEEEXplore, please be prepared to submit this, following the instructions of posters, but including clear practical information about the activities, outcomes, or, for panel the main topics and panelists point of view.

• Special Session papers

  • Several Special Sessions have been approved by the Special Sessions Committee and you can find information about them here.

    You can submit full, short papers for the special sessions by respecting the same rules as for the full (6-8 pages) and short (3-4 pages) papers. The deadline for the Special Sessions paper initial manuscript is similar to the one of the conference. Special session papers are reviewed by that session committee and meta-review by the EDUCON Special Session Committee.

**Please note all paper lengths include references.

Initial Paper Submission (following abstract acceptance)

MANDATORY: Initial Manuscripts MUST be fully anonymized to comply with EDUCON Double-Anonymous review process. No identifying author information may be present in your submitted manuscript.

For your convenience, the Conference Paper Template from IEEE is linked below. Please use this template when preparing your initial manuscript.

**Papers that are accepted and presented will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore digital library and indexed by EI/Compendex

A submission implies a willingness to register and present the work if the paper is accepted for presentation at the conference. Papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. Authors of accepted full, short and poster papers must submit the final paper version according to the deadline, register for the conference, and attend to present their papers.

The submission should summarize the scope of the research, include primary results and findings, and emphasize new advances, theories or applications, so that the originality and implication of the research are clear. Papers that do not follow this format will be rejected as will papers above the specified limit.
