Authors of accepted papers are required to submit the camera-ready version of their paper and the signed copyright form by June 15, 2026.
Each accepted paper requires at least one author to have performed a Full Registration before June 1, 2026, in order to include and publish the paper in the conference proceedings. Papers that are not covered by a validated registration by this date will be withdrawn. For more information, please see the ICDAR 2026 Registration Webpage.
Instruction steps for authors to prepare camera-ready files:
- Implement all necessary changes outlined by the reviewers. Please note that substantial changes to the reviewed paper are not allowed, except for those that address specific reviewers’ comments and improve the paper.
- The template for the camera-ready papers is the same for initial submissions. The LaTeX template for LNCS and the Overleaf template are linked here. Note that the camera-ready paper is limited to 17 pages (including figures and references) just like the submission.
- The title and the authors on the camera-ready document must exactly match this information in the CMT submission form. Adding or removing authors is not permitted. Instead, adding acknowledgment information is encouraged when applicable.
- If the paper was formatted using MS Word, then save both the Word file and the PDF version of the paper in a folder/directory on your computer, named according to the Springer Meteor ID number (not the CMT Paper ID used previously).
- If the paper was formatted using LaTeX, then save all LaTeX files (sources, figures, tables, images, bib) and the PDF that exactly matches this in a folder/directory on your computer, named according to the Springer Meteor ID number (not the CMT Paper ID used previously).
- Upload the folder/directory to the Meteor System (link provided by Springer). The corresponding author of each accepted paper will receive login instructions in the invitation email from the Meteor Support. Check your spam folder in case the email ends up there. After logging in, follow the instructions on the homepage of the Meteor System to complete your uploading process. Note that only the corresponding author has the authority to upload the camera-ready files.
- Do not include any supplementary files when uploading your camera-ready files to Springer Meteor system.
- Sign the License-to-Publish Agreement. After clicking the submit button, the author will be redirected to DocuSign to complete the contract signing process. The corresponding author, who must match the corresponding author marked in the header of the paper, must have the full right, power, and authority to sign the agreement on behalf of all of the authors of a particular paper, and accepts responsibility for releasing this material on their behalf.
- A confirmation email from the Meteor System will be sent to you upon successful completion of the uploading of the camera-ready manuscript, as well as the License-to-Publish Agreement.
For any question related to the publication process, please do not hesitate to contact the publication chairs ([email protected]). For more information on author guidelines, please refer to Springer Guidelines for Authors of Proceedings.
#Employees of US Government contractors or US Government departments often have to sign an alternative agreement. We urge such authors to contact their own legal departments. Any copyright issues must be resolved before the final files are sent to Springer, otherwise this can delay the publication process.
