  • Related to Full Manuscript Submission


    Q. How is the length and size of full manuscript?

    A. Papers submitted using A4 size pages should be no more than 15 pages (including tables, figures and references) for contributed papers and no more than 20 pages for keynote papers. Very short papers and very long papers are discouraged. Papers may include colour figures. Each file size should not exceed 4M byte (keynote 8M byte) after transforming to a PDF file.


    Q. I uploaded my full manuscript, but there is no confirmation email. Was my manuscript successfully uploaded?

    A. You can check the status of your manuscript on the Author's home page. If you can find the PDF file on the "Files" tag page of your own page, the file was uploaded successfully. No confirmation mail will be sent to the authors for the "upload" process.
    For the submission of your manuscript, please click the "Submit Full Manuscript" button (green colored button). You can then complete the uploading and submission of your manuscript. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author after this "submission" process.


    Q. I cannot find the "Submit Full Manuscript" button.

    A. The "Submit Full Manuscript" button is available now. You can complete the uploading and submission of your manuscript.


    Q. I cannot login to the system.

    A. Sometimes you cannot login to the system due to an unexpected forced termination of the system. Please go to the top page (login page) of the website "http://submission.ihtcdigitallibrary.com/usr/login.html" and retry to type your User Name (email address) and Password. If it doesn't work, please click "Forgot password". The technical staff will help you fix the problem.


    Q. Where is the template for the full manuscript?

    A. Please click the "Author's Kit" which you can find at the menu bar shown on the top-right corner of your author's page. You will find the template of the full length manuscript. The instruction to find the "Author's Kit" is also shown in "paper submission" page.


    Q. I am planning to submit recent topics to another Journal. Is it necessary to submit a full-length manuscript?

    A. Yes, you are required to submit a full manuscript for the presentation in the IHTC-15. As described in the policy statement, duplicate publication of original research is considered a breach of the ethical code of conduct for scientists.


    Q. I am using the LaTeX format. In the Readme.pdf included in the LaTeX Kit, it says that I should change to 'review version'. Do I have to select this version? The format will look different to the one shown in the "Paper_Example.pdf".

    A. Please ignore the 'review' option described in the "Readme.pdf" included in the LaTeX template kit. You do not need to select the 'review version'. Please submit your full manuscript in normal style using the 'final version'.

    \documentclass[article]{proc}%final version

    This is the same style shown in the "Paper_Example.pdf" included in the Author's Kit.


    Q. The status of my manuscript is "to ACCEPTED_WITH_CORRECTIONS " and I need to submit the revised paper. What is the deadline for the revised paper?
