  • Header has the correct conference dates and location
  • Footer is template compliant – including page #s
  • Copyright in the footer has been either assigned or removed if not applicable

An Author’s Guide, containing detailed instructions and additional guidelines for submitting papers to ICES can be found on the Author Materials & Resources page.

 

Draft Papers will be reviewed by 3 independent reviewers that were pre-selected by your session chair(s).  Each of these reviewers were selected to review papers that are in their own area of expertise and have relevant knowledge of your technical content.  All reviews will be conducted within the Easy Chair system and will include detailed feedback, revision requests and a score by each reviewer.   

 

Authors will receive via email these detailed reviews directly from their session chair upon their completion.  Please find the following schedule outlining key dates in this process:
