ICTD2009 Author Instructions
The Conference Submission website (http://ictd2009.confmaster.net) is live.
Please use this website to create an account and submit your paper. Registration on this website is NOT the same as registering for the conference; details on that will be posted on the main ICTD2009 website shortly. Please note that every accepted paper must have at least one author register for the conference and present their work.
ICTD2009 is a scholarly conference, with double-blind review, so please ensure that you do not identify yourself (or your institution/group) in your submission. This includes paper metadata ("Properties" in Word). Details on the scope of papers is given in the Call for Papers.
Abstracts are mandatory, 100-200 words. The word limit (8,000 words) is an upper bound, and not a target.
Papers should be formatted in the IEEE style, details of which are given here.
A template from IEEE is available here.
The final website will also have a link for converting your paper into an IEEE configured PDF. In the initial submission, any appropriate PDF or Word document (.doc) will be acceptable.
At a later point, when final submissions are due after review, we will require authors to fill out a copyright form as per IEEE.
We allow more than one submission per author, but for papers of comparable contribution, will give preference to papers increasing geographic, domain, and author diversity.
Website Submissions Information
After logging into the submission website above, to submit your paper, there is a link on the left to "Register Paper".
Papers must be in .pdf or Microsoft Word (.doc) format. Please convert .docx papers into Word 2003 or earlier (standard) .doc formats.
Paper Types covers the paper methodology. This list is not meant to be exhaustive or restrictive, but pick the best descriptor of your paper methodology/type from the list.
The Keywords in the online submission interface are used to help guide the review process. We strongly encourage you to pick the best description(s) per category covering:
- Development Domain
- ICT
- Geography
There is a limit of 6 Keywords (phrases) from this grouping for the submission interface, with a minimum of 3 Keywords (one per category), but your paper itself can have an additional 3 keywords of your choice (total 9). Please include the same several keywords used online in your paper itself.
The Geography tag is for the focus of the work, not that of the author. If the work has more than one geography, either pick the dominant geographic domain, or the "Global / Generic / Other" tag.
Scholarly Disciplines are keywords to help the review process; please pick the best fit possible, with "Other / Hybrid" as an option as well.
