How to submit your paper

Creating a paper submission:

(a) Click the “+ Create new submission” button in the upper-left to create a new submission. There, you will be prompted to enter the title, abstract, authors, and subject areas. It is recommended to select at least one primary subject area and two secondary subject areas. You should finalize the author list by the paper submission deadline.

(b) Check with your co-authors to make sure that: you add them with their correct CMT email account. If you add an author with an email that is not in CMT and the name and organization is not automatically filled, that means they are not yet in the system, and you should make sure to check that they do not already have an account under a different email before completing the requested information to add them.

(c) Enter subject (topic) areas for your paper. You must include at least one primary area. This information is used to help assign ACs and reviewers. 

NOTE: 
If you are interested in submitting your paper to a special session, please select the specific Special Session name you are interested in as your primary subject area.

For example, if you are interested in submitting the paper in special session 1 (Solutions for Mission Vision Data Privacy Challenge) please select the following as your primary subject area:

   Special Session 1: Solutions for Mission Vision Data Privacy Challenge

Finally, upload your manuscript to the system. Thank you.

Authorship Changes

After the paper submission deadline, the list of authors will be considered final. After that date, new authors cannot be added, and authors cannot be removed.
