Submissions and Paper Specification Information
The organizing committee of IEEE INERTIAL Conference invites authors to submit papers for presentation at the IEEE INERTIAL Conference. Submitting authors can choose between two options, resulting in a different publication outlet, if the paper is accepted:
OPTION A: Submission of an abstract for the IEEE INERTIAL Proceedings (Deadline: October 20), or
OPTION B: Submission of a manuscript in IEEE Sensors Letters (Deadline: October 20), or
OPTION C: Submission of a Late News Abstract for the IEEE INERTIAL Proceedings (Deadline: February 15)
Please note that authors may not submit the same work to BOTH the IEEE INERTIAL Conference site and to IEEE Sensors Letters, as this will violate the IEEE’s self-plagiarism clause and the authors will likely be subjected to serious consequences. Below are details of either option to aid decision and plan appropriate action.
Publication Options
Publication in the Proceedings of the IEEE INERTIAL Conference
Email submissions will NOT be accepted.
If you are making multiple submissions, you only need to create one web account. Use the same account (User name & Password) for any additional submissions.
If you need to resubmit your paper, it may be done up until the submission deadline. Author information may not be changed after the initial paper submission paper passes
The submission will be reviewed by the conference Technical Program Committee and decisions made through the regular conference peer review process.
Paper Specifications
Use our conference paper templates (OPTION A) to meet formatting requirements below. Your paper must comply with the following specifications:
Abstract Length: 1 page for text (approximately 600 words) + 1 page for images and captions only. The abstract length should not exceed 2 pages. References can be placed in either page. See the template.
Paper Size: US Letter (8.5" x 11") or A4 (210mm X 297mm)
Fonts: Embed ALL fonts in your PDF file. Avoid the use of Type 3 fonts.
File Format: Adobe PDF (.pdf)
Allowed File Size: 5.0MB
Do NOT page number your paper
Do NOT apply security settings to your PDF file.
Note: Deviations from the above paper specifications could impede the review of your paper and result in rejection.
Publication in IEEE Sensors Letters
Authors whose papers are focused specifically in the area of inertial sensors and applications may consider submitting such work directly to IEEE Sensors Letters journal. When submitting such papers, please use the following link and use the following template of IEEE Sensors Letters journal. During the submission, please choose “IEEE INERTIAL” as the article type from the dropdown list. This will allow us to rapidly identify these special papers and quickly activate the regular peer review process for IEEE Sensors Letters so that it will be completed in time for the decisions on the final program. Authors of submissions which are accepted for publications in the IEEE Sensors Letters will be asked to present their work at the conference in a dedicated session. Papers that are submitted to IEEE Sensors Letters, but not selecting this option, will not be considered for the IEEE INERTIAL Conference and will likely be reviewed and published (if accepted) through the normal journal review process.
If authors opt for OPTION B, and their paper is rejected by IEEE Sensors Letters before the deadline of the conference submission (Option A), they can submit an abstract (or a revision thereof) to IEEE INERTIAL as a conference or late news paper. Note that a timely decision by the journal editors cannot be guaranteed, as this is depending on reviewer response times during the journal's review process.
Note: Conference organizers and the journal editorial board are not responsible for author oversight.
