Conference Proceedings Submissions

This Conference Proceedings Series is not accepting Conference Proceedings Submissions at this time.

Conference Proceedings Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The authors adhere to the policies and guidelines of the Proceedings of the CoRDI
  • The submission has not been previously published.
  • The authors agree that their manuscript is screened for plagiarism with the then offered version of Crossref's Similarity Check, currently iThenticate.
  • The submission contains a statement on competing interests: authors need to declare competing interests and also must explicitly state if they have no competing interests.
  • The authors are aware that if the manuscript gets accepted, the published article/contribution and its metadata will be distributed to various search engines, data bases, and abstracting and indexing (A&I) services.
  • Moreover, its metadata (including abstract and references) will be sent to Crossref during the DOI registration process. Crossref makes all metadata available through APIs.

Author Guidelines

Before submitting an extended abstract, authors should read the following guidelines carefully:

  • The text must adhere to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined below.
  • Where available, URLs and DOIs for the references have been provided in the reference list.
  • The primary responsibility of an author is to present their research findings accurately and concisely and to discuss its significance objectively.
  • The author list must only contain persons who contributed significantly (in a scientific sense) to the presented work. Likewise, all persons who made such contribution must be included. Acknowledgements can be included in a dedicated section in the manuscript.
  • AI tools cannot be listed as authors of a paper. Any use of AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, image/graphic generation, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be disclosed transparently in the paper by describing how and which AI tool(s) were used.
  • Authors should cite publications that have been relevant to their work and that connect readers to related research and help them to understand the presented work.
  • Authors need to take care about correct spelling and grammar.
  • Authors need to obtain the reproduction permissions for any previously published material (e.g. tables and figures).
  • The manuscript has to be original and thus has not been formally published in any other peer-reviewed publication and does not infringe any existing copyright or any other third party rights.
  • Errors obtained after publication must be communicated to the journal as soon as possible.

Authors need to use the Word template or the LaTeX template provided by TIB Open Publishing.

ORCIDs

Each author should register an ORCID and the ORCIDs of all authors should be included in the manuscript.

Abstract

While your extended abstract does not need to include an abstract, the system requires to paste in an abstract during the submission process. This summary will be displayed on the landing page of the contribution after publication.

Keywords

Please capitalize the keywords.

If necessary, you may structure your submission into sections and subsections

Sections and subsections

Three levels of headlines may be used. Please notice that there is no indent in the first paragraph of a section or subsection. New paragraphs  are indented. Please only use the formatting styles predefined in the template. Use the “Standard” formatting for the text. The paragraph format is justified. Please use hyphenation. Please do not use footnotes.

  • Bullet points may be used

  1. Numbering may be used, too.
  2. However, please do not use Roman numbers.

After the academic part of the paper, all contributions must include the following sections before the references:

Competing interests
Competing interests arise when issues outside research may fairly be viewed as impacting the work's neutrality. All potential competing interests must be disclosed (“The authors declare the following competing interests: …”). If there are no potential competing interests please state “The authors declare that the have no competing interests.”

Funding
Please insert a funding statement (if applicable) here.

Acknowledgement
If you want to acknowledge persons or institutions you can do so here.

If you intend to include Tables, Equations, Figures, Citations or References in your extended abstract please apply the following:

Tables

Centered table captions should be placed above the tables. Please use the word functionality “insert caption” and then format the caption with the “captions” format. You can cross-reference your tables in the text by using the respective functionality in Word. Tables themselves should be centered. Please do not merge cells in tables. Please do not use in-line math in table captions.

Equations

Equations should be centred and set on a separate line. All equations need to be numbered 1-n. Please do not use 1a, 1b…

In addition to the equations in the text, Authors must provide in-line math and equations formatted in KaTeX in a separate file. In this file, equations must be numbered as in the Word document.

Figures

A centered figure caption is always placed below the illustration. Please use the word functionality “insert caption” and then format the caption with the “captions” format. You can cross-reference your figures in the text by using the respective functionality in Word. In addition to the embedded figures in the Word file, figure must be submitted as separate jpeg or png. files. If your figure consists of more than one panel, please merge all parts into one file. 

Citations

For citations of references, we prefer the use of square brackets and consecutive numbers, e.g. “as shown by Author et al. [2], [3, pp. 5–10]”, “as mentioned earlier [1], [3], [9]”. The first reference mentioned must be [1], the second reference mention [2] etc. Please do not use reference linking in Word (e.g. Word functionality “Insert Citation”, Citavi, or Mendeley) as this causes problem during the XML conversion. However, we recommend adding references through the Zotero Word plugin.

References

If available, DOIs must be provided. The bibliography below provides the basic formats as a reference list with entries for journal articles [1], book chapter [2], as well as a URL [3]. For further guidance please refer to https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/IEEE-Reference-Guide.pdf. Please do not forget that data (and other material underpinning the findings) need to be cited in the text and the respective reference must be included in the manuscript’s reference list. Please refer to the data citation principles of FORCE11 or the FORCE11 software citation principles, respectively.

Copyright Notice

Licence agreement

Authors publishing in the Proceedings of the CoRDI grant TIB Open Publishing (Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB), Welfengarten 1B, 30167 Hannover, Germany) the right to publish and use the article/contribution including metadata and additional material under the conditions named below and identify itself as the original publisher.

Authors publishing in the Proceedings of the CoRDI retain the copyright of their article. Where an author is prevented from being the copyright holder, minor variations may apply, e.g. in case of Crown Copyright or for US government employees. Authors requiring such variation should contact TIB Open Publishing upon submission of their contribution/article.

Authors are obliged to obtain permission for the reproduction of previously published material of other copyright holders (e.g. figures or tables). Such permission is not necessary, if the reproduction is covered by a statutory citation right, if the material is in the public domain or when the authors themselves hold the copyright for the reproduced material.

Metadata incl. abstract of the articles/contributions are distributed under the conditions of the licence CC0 1.0 Universal .

The full text is published under the licence Creative Commons attribution License 4.0

The authors acknowledge, that not all clauses of the Creative-Commons-Licenses of version 4.0 are valid in Germany. If the author plans to publish sensitive content (e. g. regarding legal or medical questions, historically sensitive issues, chemical experiments) for which liability shall be excluded as far as possible, TIB Open Publishing will provide an adapted publication agreement upon request.

Warranty

The submitting author warrants

  • that the content of this agreement is known to and approved of by all co-authors and that the submitting author is authorized by the co-authors to enter this agreement
  • on behalf of themselves and their co-authors that
    • the contribution/article is original, has not been formally published in any other peer-reviewed publication, is not under consideration by any other journal;
    • has all necessary rights and authority to allow TIB the use of the publication, abstract and metadata pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement and that this agreement does not infringe rights of third parties (e. g. copyright, personality or publicity rights, data protection).
    • the contribution/article contains nothing that is unlawful, libellous, or which would, if published, constitute a breach of contract or of confidence or of commitment given to secrecy;
    • reproduction permissions for any previously published material were obtained, if necessary.
    • the authors took due care to ensure the article´s integrity.

The submitting author shall indemnify TIB against any charges, costs or damages brought forth by other registered users or third parties against TIB claiming that the use of the publication in accordance with this agreement constitutes an infringement of third party rights and shall bear the costs of a reasonable legal defence of TIB, if the submitting author can be held responsible. The parties will cooperate closely to prevent any claims by third parties.

TIB may terminate the online provision of the publication and/or remove it from its services in the event of imminent or actual infringement of rights.

TIB may transfer all rights and obligations derived from this agreement to other public or private institutions and partners, grant licenses or consent to their use of the material without explicit consent of the authors, if other institutions support or permanently take over functions and responsibilities from TIB.

Corrections

In certain cases, corrections may be necessary to preserve the integrity of scientific literature. The following means to correct the scientific record can be applied:

Corrigendum

A corrigendum should be issued if a minor part of an otherwise reliable publication is found to be inaccurate. This might be especially the case for honest errors. Also if the author list is incorrect, a corrigendum can be issued.

Retraction

The Proceedings of the CoRDI will follow the retraction guidelines of COPE. Retractions are accompanied with a respective note explaining the reasons.

Removal

Manuscripts can be withdrawn before publication. However, published articles will not be "unpublished". Only in case of legal action, full texts might be removed with a corresponding statement on the article´s landing page.

Expression of concern

If they have well-founded concerns and feel that readers should be made aware of potentially misleading information contained in an article, journal editors may consider issuing an Expression of Concern. Expressions of concern can, however, be provided only if an inquiry into the problems relating to the article has proven to be inconclusive and if clear indications exist that the issues are legitimate. Editors should be mindful in all situations that an Expression of Concern brings the same risks to the reputation of a researcher as a retraction, and that in most cases it is preferable to publish a retraction until an independent investigation has reached a definitive conclusion.

Name change policy

We acknowledge that authors may change their name for a variety of reasons (including but not limited to gender identity, marriage, divorce, or a change in religion). Therefore, we support authors regarding respective updates of their previously published works. On request, we will update author names directly in the article/paper and the corresponding metadata and republish the document. Depending on the author’s needs, this can be done silently (i.e. without a correction notice and information to co-authors) or with releasing information on this change publicly. In any case we will resend the metadata (and/or full text) of the respective document to abstracting and indexing services such as Scopus. Please note that we cannot, however, influence whether third parties implement the respective changes. Please also note that we cannot update in-text citations and references.

Privacy Statement

The user agrees to the processing of his/her personal data provided to Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) in accordance with the data protection declaration and the infosheet data protection. The data is processed exclusively by TIB in order to provide the service of TIB Open Publishing.
