Guidelines for Authors

1. For Poster Sumbission

  Poster Specifications

• Your poster should cover the key points of your research, which include but are not limited to background, methods, results, and conclusion. Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible.
• Authors should get their poster printed. A poster stand will be provided at the assigned venue.

  Poster Dimension

• Poster should have the following dimensions A0 size (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm) or (33.1 inches x 46.8 inches).
• Please note that printing out your full submitted paper in A4 size format is NOT acceptable as a poster.

  Poster Dimension

• Title: The title of your poster should appear at the top with lettering of at least 42 pt font size. Below the title, you should place the names of authors and their affiliations.
• Text: Text should be readable from five feet away. Use a minimum font size of at least 20 pt. Keep the text brief. Try to use text to introduce the study, explain visuals and direct viewers’ attention to significant data trends and relationships portrayed in the visuals, and state and explain the interpretations that follow from the data. It is also a good idea to include future research plans or questions for discussion with viewers in your text.
• Figures/Tables: Each figure/table should have a brief title. Figures/tables should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Try to use color figures rather than only black and white text to make your poster attractive and highlight the important technical content of your paper. Make sure that the text and the visuals are integrated.

2. For Project Demonstration Submission

Topics of interest have been mentioned in the conference webpage. Projects may be related to university, work, or extracurricular activities that pertain to Engineering, Science, and Technology. Project teams selected for participation will be notified by email. All members of the selected project teams must register for 26th INMIC 2024 in order to participate in the event.

For the demonstration, each team will be provided a table at the conference venue. It is recommended that teams demonstrate hardware prototypes, and utilize posters, slides and/or videos (recorded at their home institution) to explain their demo to the audience and the judges. A power outlet will be available to each team to run their electronic gadgets.

3. Full-Length Article Submission

  General Information

• Please use the IEEE template to prepare your paper.

  Corresponding Author
