Submission Guidelines

ICCSD 2025 welcomes submissions in civil engineering and structural design. All contributions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere. Please follow the guidelines below for a smooth submission process.

Submission Types

• Extended Abstracts: Approximately 500 words, outlining objectives, scope, and results (if available). No figures or tables allowed.
• Short Papers: Up to 4 pages, including abstract, introduction, results/discussion, and references. Must clearly present objectives, scope, and results.
• Full Papers: Up to 8 pages, providing a detailed description of the work, with additional sections, images, graphs, and results as needed.

Formatting and Template

All submissions must use the ICCSD .docx template. Download the ICCSD Extended Abstract Template (.docx) or the standard paper template from the “Download” section. Ensure compliance with the template for formatting consistency.

Submission Process

• Submit manuscripts in DOCX format via the Easy Chair submission portal by October 15, 2025.
• Papers must be in English, carefully checked for grammar, and include high-quality figures.

Plagiarism Check

All submissions are screened using Turnitin software, with a maximum similarity index of 20%. Manuscripts exceeding this threshold require revision; substantial plagiarism results in rejection without review.

Peer Review Process

Submissions undergo a double-blind peer review by the Scientific Committee. An initial evaluation assesses suitability (language, originality, scope alignment). Suitable papers are reviewed by experts for originality, methodology, results, ethical standards, and writing quality. Possible outcomes are:

• Accept without Revisions
• Accept with Minor Revisions
• Accept after Major Revisions
• Reject

Authors are notified via email and must address reviewer comments for final submission.

Publication

Accepted extended abstracts, short papers, and full papers will be published in the conference proceedings with an ISSN and ISBN, archived in the proceedings of NERD Publication. Each paper will be assigned a unique DOI by CrossRef. A proposal for Scopus indexing has been submitted and is awaiting response.

Presentation Requirements

Accepted papers must be presented at the conference (in-person or virtually) to be included in the proceedings. Presentation options:

• Oral Presentation: 15 minutes (in-person) or 10 minutes (virtual).

Registration

At least one author per paper must register by the regular registration deadline for the paper to be included in the proceedings and final program.

Copyright

Corresponding authors must submit a signed copyright form with the camera-ready submission. Failure to do so by the deadline will result in the paper’s removal from the proceedings.
