Preparing your proceedings paper

As a general rule, we would advise that an author does not submit more than two articles to a conference. This includes papers that they have co-authored. Furthermore, only one of them is accepted to be a Corresponding Author. 

Page Setup

  • Please use margins of 2.5 cm (1 inch).
  • Please use A-4 page size.
  • Please use font style as Times New Roman.

Title Page

  • Please use 14-point bold for your article title, with an initial capital letter for any proper nouns. Please margin the article title to the center.
  • All the authors of a paper should include their full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers and email addresses on the title page of the manuscript. One author should be identified as the Corresponding Author. Please use one line for all author names and one line for all author information.
  • An informative 10-point bold abstract (100 to 200 words) presenting the main points of the paper and conclusions.
  • Please include descriptive keywords (4 to 5). Separate keywords with a comma. Capitalize the first letter of each keyword (e.g., Science education, Survey development).

Main Text

  • Please use 10-point font size.
  • Please margin the text to the justified.
  • Manuscripts should be single-spaced.
  • Footnotes and endnotes are not accepted. All relevant information should be included in main text.
  • Do not indent paragraphs; leave a space of one line between consecutive paragraphs.
  • Do not underline words for emphasis. Use italics instead.
  • Both numbered lists and bulleted lists can be used if necessary.
  • Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure that every in-text citation has a corresponding reference in the reference list. Conversely, ensure that every entry in the reference list has a corresponding in-text citation.

Headings

  • Subdivide text into unnumbered sections, using short, meaningful sub-headings. Please do not use numbered headings.
  • Please limit heading use to three levels.

Tables and Figures

  • Please embed tables and figures in appropriate areas within the document and center them horizontally. Tables and figures should not exceed the given page margins.
  • Provide captions (maximum length: 6 to 8 words) for each table or figure. Centre the caption above the table and below the figure. Please reference the table or figure in the text.
  • Please do not use vertical lines in tables.
  • For figures, GIF and JPEG (JPG) are the preferred formats

LANGUAGE

The manuscript should be written in the English language clearly and understandably. The manuscript should be proofread for proper spelling and grammar use. We shall promptly return any manuscripts that are not complete or are not in good condition.

REPRODUCTION PERMISSION

For any illustrations, tables, or figures already published elsewhere, authors are responsible for getting permission from the copyright holders. The publisher of the journal or book in which the Figure or Table first appeared is most often the copyright owner. In this case, a letter from the author(s)/publisher should be included to confirm that permission to reproduce the image has been given.

PLAGIARISM

A well-established component of the editorial process is plagiarism screening. Turnitin software will be used to verify all submitted manuscripts for a plagiarism check.
Note: The acceptable plagiarism rates are less than 20% for electronic plagiarism and less than 5% for AI generation.

SELF-CITATIONS

Citation manipulation refers to the excessive citation of an author’s study (i.e., self-citation by authors) for the sole purpose of boosting the number of citations of the author’s work. The ICEAT encourages authors to restrict self-citation to a minimum to control citation manipulation. ICEAT highly advises using no more than 2 related self-citations of any author.

PEER-REVIEW

All submissions undergo an initial assessment by an Editor, who may decline articles that fall outside the conference’s scope or fail to meet quality standards prior to peer review. Manuscripts deemed suitable proceed to double-blind peer review, conducted by at least two independent reviewers.
