Science Day

Author guidelines

Seven steps from choosing a track to presenting your paper at Science Day.

1. Choose a track and paper type

   Track 1, Advanced Technologies in Education, or Track 2, Artificial Intelligence Applications. Full papers have 12–15 pages and short papers 6–11 pages, references included.

2. Prepare the manuscript

   Write in English in the Springer LNCS/CCIS template (LaTeX or Word, download below). Reviewing is double-blind, so the submitted manuscript must be anonymised: remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgements and anything else that identifies the authors, and cite your own work in the third person.

   Papers that do not strictly follow the template and formatting rules, or that are not anonymised, will not be considered. They are rejected without review.
