2. A maximum of two (2) papers may be submitted by the same first author. If the same first author submits two (2) papers, a supplementary publication fee is due for the additional paper.
3. Papers should be formatted according to the Guidelines described here. All papers must be written in English and submitted in portable document format (.pdf) for both the review process and camera-ready (final manuscript) submission.
4. Papers submitted for presentation and publication must strictly follow the appointed publisher's paper format.
5. Accepted papers must be presented at IConCEES 2025 by one of the authors, or, if none of the authors are able to attend, by a qualified surrogate. The presenter must register for IConCEES 2025 at one of the rates offered, and must register before the deadline given for author registration.

Paper Review Process

1. Papers submitted will be pre-screened for conformity with submission guidelines and for overall appropriateness. Papers that pass the initial screening process will then be double-blind reviewed.
2. The double-blind peer review process is employed to ensure that both authors and reviewers remain anonymous during the review process. Expert specialists within the fields of Civil and Environmental Engineering will be selected to perform the reviews.
3. This process will take place prior to the presentation at IConCEES 2025 and the publication of the proceedings. Authors will receive feedback in the form of a peer review report. The paper peer review process and the outcomes presented in the review reports will be monitored and verified by the Editorial Committee.

Paper Publication

1. Accepted papers presented at IConCEES 2025 will be published in IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science (ISSN: 1755-1315) that is indexed by Scopus, Clarivate Web Of Science (WoS) Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), Ei Compendex, EBSCO Discovery Service, SCite, NASA Astrophysics Data System, British Library Services, and others.

2. Publication of papers in the proceedings is conditioned on a positive assessment by Reviewers and the Publisher.
3. Failure to present at IConCEES 2025 will result in the automatic withdrawal of your paper from the conference proceedings.
4. The Publisher has the right to reject papers that do not conform with the theme of the proceedings. If your paper is rejected for this reason, our committee will contact you and suggest an alternative publication. An additional publication fee may be required in some cases.

For Presenters

Presenter Guidelines

Presenters must adhere to the following guidelines that have been designed to assist you in preparing an effective presentation for IConCEES 2025.

Duration of Presentation

1. Your presentation slot includes 10 minutes of oral presentation assisted by PowerPoint slides, and 5 minutes of questions and answers hosted by the Session Chair.
2. The Session Chair will strictly enforce the time limit on your presentation. It is recommended that you time your presentation to be one or two minutes shorter than the allocated time, to allow for the change-over time and introduction. For this, you may prepare roughly 10 slides, excluding the title and acknowledgement slides.

Modes of Presentation

1. On-site Presentation: Presenters will present their papers in-person at the conference venue.
2. Virtual Presentation: If you are not able to present your paper physically, you may choose to present via live video conferencing or recorded video (for further instructions, click here). Please indicate that you will be presenting virtually (online) when you register and submit your paper.
