Author Ethics

Following ethical guidelines is required in scientific publishing. Understand IEEE’s publishing guidelines and concepts to ensure ethical requirements are met. Learn about authorship, how to cite sources appropriately, plagiarism, how to report your data accurately, and the importance of publishing original research.https://conferences.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/author-ethics/ethical-requirements/

Inappropriate Use of Citations

Citing an irrelevant source for the purpose of artificially inflating citation metrics is considered a breach of ethics. Only cite relevant sources that legitimately contribute to your paper according to the criteria outlined above.

IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF)

The eCF is a highly effective tool that transfers ownership rights of the intellectual property to IEEE and saves significant amounts of time and effort on the part of IEEE authors.

If you are an author submitting a manuscript to an IEEE conference, you must also submit an IEEE Copyright Form to the designated organizer/publication chair of your conference. Contact your conference organizer for more information regarding the use of the electronic IEEE Copyright Form (eCF).

If you do not complete a publication agreement with IEEE by means of signing and submitting an IEEE Copyright Form, your paper cannot be published by IEEE.
