Before you submit your paper for EPEC 2020, here’s what you need to know:
- The format of the paper should follow the IEEE conference paper style. You can download a template and style guide HERE. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO A SYSTEM LIMITATION, ONLY THE LETTER FORMAT WILL BE ACCEPTED BY EDAS.
- EPEC 2020 will only accept the electronic submission in pdf format of a full paper in English.
- Conference papers are limited to six (6) pages, without incurring extra page charges. The paper may be extended to eight (8) pages. In such a case, extra page charges will be applied.
- EPEC 2020 proceedings will be submitted to IEEE Xplore.
- The selected top 20% papers published in the EPEC 2020 proceedings will be invited to submit extended versions of their presented conference papers for publication in the IEEE Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (CJECE) special issue within four weeks of the conference final day (i.e. by December 10, 2020). These invitations have already been sent to the select authors. The extended manuscript must be significantly extended (by a minimum of 30 per cent) in its overall technical content and research results beyond the scope of the conference paper published in the EPEC 2020 conference proceedings. The extended manuscript will go through another separate review according to CJECE’s review process. For more details, please visit journal.ieee.ca.
