TYPE OF SUBMISSIONS:

Only Full/Regular Research  Papers  (Strictly  within  5  pages):Regular  Research  Papers  should provide detail original research contributions. They must report new research results that represent a contribution to the field; sufficient details and support for the results and conclusions should be provided. The works presented in regular papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity that with some additional work can be published as journal papers. The authors are requested not to prefix their credentials i.e. Dr., Prof., HOD, Ms, Mrs, Scholar, etc. in authors name.

COPYRIGHT INFORMATION:

IEEE policy requires that prior to publication, all authors or their employers must transfer to the IEEE in writing any copyright they hold for their individual papers. Please visit the following URL to learn more about securing copyright transfer www.ieee.org/web/publications/rights/copyrightmain

IEEE policy requires all authors intending to publish their papers in the IEEE Xplore® digital library must provide a transfer of copyright.

The authors needs to submit  electronic IEEE Copyright Form (eCF) after acceptance. Once the paper is accepted, the link to eCF tool will  be provided so that authors can invoke it directly from the access-controlled site. A brief process will guide authors to the appropriate form, which is signed by typing in their names and clicking on a “Submit” button.

Review Process:

After submission, the paper enters into the review process. DevIC 2021 research papers are reviewed using a single-blind process managed through EasyChair. A committee of reviewers selected by the Technical Committee will review the documents and rate them according to quality, relevance, correctness, and originality. The review process of research papers (full papers and short papers) for DevIC 2021 will be a two-round process.

Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission).

Follow these links to learn more:

IEEE Policy on Plagiarism

IEEE Policy on Double Submission

IEEE Paper Review Process

Papers may be submitted to a plagiarism checker service (iThenticate CrossCheck or Turnitin) in order to check the originality of its contents.

In the first round, papers are reviewed independently by a minimum of three members of the conference Technical Program Committee (TPC). No outside reviewing is used for DevIC 2021. Following the abstract submission deadline, program committee members are asked to bid on potential papers of interest based on their titles and abstracts alone. These expressed preferences are then used to assign papers to reviewers once the final submission deadline has passed. This process is used in an effort to best match papers topics with reviewer expertise. Assigned reviewers submit their anonymous reviews through EasyChair.

Based on the review, a decision will be made as to whether a paper will be invited to “revise & resubmit” or will be rejected. Rejected papers cannot be resubmitted to DevIC 2021, but can be submitted to other venues. Papers invited to revise and resubmit will have Ten days time after notification before submitting to the EasyChair system again. Reviews will make explicit how the reviewers think a paper could be improved.  Re-submissions must include a ‘summary of changes’ that details how the authors have responded to the reviews and improved their paper. In the second round, each of the resubmitted papers will be reviewed again by the same three reviewers and decisions on acceptance or not will be made. Please note that an invitation to “revise & resubmit” does not guarantee acceptance, and the final decision will be made on the basis of the revised paper only.

The “revise & resubmit” review process gives authors a chance to improve their paper very much like when submitting to a journal, though with strict deadlines. Thus it is an opportunity to improve papers on matters that in a single review process might be a cause for rejection such as grammar, missing references, need for clarity of method or analysis, lack of explicitly relating the work to relevant previous studies or the field of participatory design. It is also an opportunity for authors of papers that might have been accepted in a single round process to further strengthen their paper. With two rounds of reviews and the ‘summary of changes’ letter communication between authors and reviewers will be strengthened. Authors will be notified of the final decisions along with the comments via email no later than the notification date listed in the Call For Papers.
