Submission Guidelines

1. IC3INA follows IEEE Policy on Authorship, Peer Review, Readership, and Conference Publication. Please find the complete guideline at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html 
2. The purpose of a conference template is to provide a consistent format for papers appearing in the conference proceedings. IEEE strongly encourages the use of the conference manuscript templates provided below. 
3. IEEE conference templates contain guidance text for composing and formatting conference papers. Please ensure that all guidance text is removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference. 
4. Please be advised that we adopt IEEE no-show policy for non-presented paper (source: IEEE-Handling of Non-Presented Papers). IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including IEEEXplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.
5. Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper not being published.
6. Paper Format – Papers submitted to IC3INA 2026 must consist of 4-6 written pages, including pictures, tables, papers, and references. Papers that exceed 6 pages will not be considered for evaluation and acceptance. The author is responsible for ensuring that the submitted paper has a style, font, etc. in accordance with the IEEE Proceedings format. The papers submitted must be in PDF format.
7. Paper Submission Procedure – Paper submission through the EDAS system https://ic3ina2026.edas.info/
8. Plagiarism Checking – iThenticate which is included in the EDAS system. The similarity score is a maximum of 20 %
9. Copyright – The IEEE e-Rights Grid (or the article/author information on the e-Rights Form) to ensure that the title, authors, and email address are accurate. As the completed forms are a contract between IEEE and the authors, we must have the correct information within the form before IEEE can publish the article.

According to IEEE policy, each paper must be presented by one author of the paper. Therefore, if your paper is accepted, one of the authors is required to register and present their paper at the IC3INA 2026 conference.

• Carefully proofread your manuscript for any errors in grammar, spelling, or formatting to confirm that it will require no revision.
• Please reflect on the reviewers’ comments in your final manuscript. The committee will check whether the revision has been performed. Please also fill in the Revision Sheets and send them back to ic3ina@brin.go.id with your final manuscript.
• The final manuscript must have a similarity index below 20 percent based on IEEE requirements. Although you are not required to submit a report to us, please do a self-check of your final manuscript similarity index using Turnitin, iThenticate, or other reputable plagiarism-checking software.

Step 3 – IEEE Copyright Transfer

Accepted papers in 2026 IC3INA will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. In this case, IEEE will be the copyright holder of your paper. One copyright form is required for each accepted paper. To provide a transfer of copyright, please follow the instructions available in the IC3INA Author Kit.

Step 4 – IEEE PDF eXpress

Use IEEE PDF eXpress [Click Here] to generate the final PDF version of your manuscript. This tool ensures compliance with IEEE formatting standards. Papers that are not IEEE-compliant will not be included in the proceedings nor published. Please refer to the instructions provided in the IC3INA Author Kit for detailed guidance. Once you have completed this process, you should download the generated PDF of your final manuscript.
