Manuscripts for the proceedings issue must have the following organization:

Title
Full author names
Affiliations (including full postal address) and authors' e-mail addresses
Abstract (about 150–300 words)
Keywords
Introduction
Methods
Results and Discussion
Conclusions
Acknowledgements
References

Manuscripts should be prepared in MS Word and converted to the PDF format before submission. The publication format will be PDF. There is no page limit on the length, although authors are asked to keep their papers as concise as possible.

Microsoft Word
Authors must use the Microsoft Word template to prepare their manuscript. Using the template file will substantially shorten the time to complete copy-editing and the publication of the accepted manuscripts. Manuscript prepared in MS Word must be converted into a single file before submission. Please do not insert any graphics (schemes, figures, etc.) into a movable frame which can superimpose on the text and make the layout very difficult.

LaTeX
Manuscripts prepared in LaTeX must be collated into one ZIP folder (include all source files and images so that the Conference Secretariat can recompile the submitted PDF). When preparing manuscripts in LaTeX, please use the 6th Electronic Conference on Sensors and Applications LaTeX template files.

You can download the Word and LaTeX template from below.

• Paper Format: A4 paper format, the printing area is 17.5 cm x 26.2 cm. The margins should be 1.75 cm on each side of the paper (top, bottom, left, and right sides);

• Formatting/Style: Papers should be prepared following the style of the IECB2023 template. The full titles and the cited papers must be given. Reference numbers should be placed in square brackets [ ] and placed before punctuation—for example, [4] or [1–3]—and all references should be listed separately and as the last section at the end of the manuscript;

• Authors List and Affiliation Format: Authors’ full first and last names must be given. Abbreviated middle names can be added. For papers written by various contributors, a corresponding author must be designated. The PubMed/MEDLINE format is used for affiliations: complete street address information including city, zip code, state/province, country, and email address should be added. All authors who contributed significantly to the manuscript (including writing a section) should be listed on the first page of the manuscript, below the title of the article. Other parties who provided only minor contributions should be listed under Acknowledgments only. A minor contribution might be a discussion with the author, reading through the draft of the manuscript, or performing English corrections;

• Figures, Schemes, and Tables: Authors are encouraged to prepare figures and schemes in color. Full-color graphics will be published free of charge. Figures and schemes must be numbered (Figure 1, Scheme I, Figure 2, Scheme II, etc.), and an explanatory title must be added. Tables should be inserted into the main text, and numbers and titles for all tables must be supplied. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Please supply legends for all figures, schemes, and tables. The legends should be prepared as a separate paragraph of the main text and placed in the main text before a table, a figure or a scheme.

For further enquiries please contact the Conference Secretariat.

Authors are encouraged to prepare a presentation in PowerPoint to be displayed online along with the Manuscript. Slides, if available, will be displayed directly on the website using Sciforum.net’s proprietary slide viewer. Slides can be prepared in exactly the same way as for any traditional conference where research results can be presented. Slides should be converted to PDF format before submission so that our process can easily and automatically convert them for online displaying.

Authors are also encouraged to submit video presentations. The video will be uploaded to Youtube, as well as onto Sciforum. The video should be no longer than 20 minutes and be prepared with the following formats:

.MOV
.MPEG4
.MP4
.AVI
.WMV
.MPEGPS
.FLV

Posters will be available on the conference website during and after the event. Similarly to papers presented in the conference, participants will be able to ask questions and make comments on the posters. Posters that are submitted without a paper will not be included in the proceedings of the conference.

It is the authors’ responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state here “The authors declare no conflict of interest.” This should be conveyed in a separate “Conflict of Interest” statement preceding the “Acknowledgments” and “References” sections at the end of the manuscript. Financial support for the study must be fully disclosed under the “Acknowledgments” section.

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe that authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting a Communications paper to this conference, you retain the copyright of your paper, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this paper online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your paper to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher (if required by that publisher).
