Submission Guidelines

Authors and practitioners are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers or industry case studies for consideration at ECRISA 2026. The conference welcomes contributions from both academic and industry professionals that advance sustainable development, innovation, and applied practices. All submissions must be prepared in camera-ready format using the templates provided below and submitted exclusively through the CMT submission system.

Please note:

The latest ECRISA 2026 paper template was uploaded on 08th September 2025. Authors are kindly requested to download and use this version for their submissions.

Authors who have already prepared or submitted their papers using the earlier template will not be disadvantaged.

Formatting will not be strictly reviewed at the submission stage. Final formatting checks will only apply to the camera-ready copy after acceptance

Paper Submission

• All papers must be submitted via the CMT submission portal.
• Submissions sent via email or any other medium will not be accepted.
• All submissions will undergo a double blinded peer-review process conducted by an international panel of experts. Reviewer feedback will be communicated to the authors.
• Guidelines for Generative AI Usage.
  • The developments in generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, with for example also the large language models (LLMs), are transforming the way publications are produced. We encourage the use of those emerging technologies in a responsible manner. We aim that such AI tools mostly promote researchers’ own capacity to create high-quality scientific work. For instance, AI tools can help researchers arrive at new ideas and improve self-written texts, especially for non-native speakers of English. However, we need to consider that AI tools also raise questions about what exactly constitutes their responsible use.
    

Review Procedure

All submitted papers will be evaluated through a double-blind peer review, ensuring that both author and reviewer identities remain anonymous. Authors must carefully prepare their manuscripts to preserve anonymity while clearly referencing relevant prior work, including their own. Submissions that do not comply with this policy will be rejected without review.

Initial Screening: The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee will first screen submissions to ensure they align with the conference themes and meet basic quality and ethical standards. Common reasons for rejection at this stage include off-topic content, plagiarism, duplicate or multiple submissions, poor quality, or suspected machine-generated text.

Peer Review: Submissions that pass the screening will be reviewed by at least two qualified experts from the International Technical Committee. Reviewers are qualified subject-matter expertise’s. Papers will be assessed based on originality, technical quality, clarity, relevance, and community interest. Reviewers will provide detailed feedback and recommendations to guide final decisions by the conference chairs.
