SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Important USS Policy Announcement: The USS reserves the right to remove a paper from distribution after the conference, including its removal from the USS digital library, if it is not presented at the conference (in person or virtual as applicable). Papers are reviewed with the understanding that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference simultaneously (double submission). These issues are taken very seriously, and the USS will take action against any author involved in either practice. 

NOTE: To be published in the ICCSS 2025  Conference Proceedings and to be eligible for publication in USS digital library, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the FULL or LIMITED (member or non-member) rate and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference unless the TPC Chair grants permission for a substitute presenter in advance of the event and who is qualified both to present and answer questions. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid before uploading the final USS-formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the   ICCSS 2025  Conference Proceedings and submitted to the USS digital library.

During the initial paper submission process via the Aconf submission system, it is the authors' responsibility to ensure that the author list and paper title in the submitted PDF file match exactly the author list and paper title on the  Aconf submission system registration page. 

IMPORTANT: The page length limit for all initial submissions for review is SIX (6) printed pages (10-point font) and must be written in English. Initial submissions longer than SIX (7) pages will be rejected without review.

All final submissions of accepted papers must be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font), including figures. No more than two (2) additional printed pages (10-point font) may be included in final submissions, and the extra pages (the 7th and 8th pages) will incur an over-length page charge of USD 5 for each page.  Please refer to the acceptance letter for the instructions on how to upload final papers.
