Author Instructions
Instructions for Authors
The use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text.
Double-Blind Reviewing
The review process for IJCNN 2025 will be double-blind, i.e. reviewers will not know the author's identity (and vice versa). Authors should ensure their anonymity in the submitted papers. In brief:
• authors' names should not be included in the submitted pdf;
• please refer to your prior work in the third person wherever possible;
• a reviewer may be able to deduce the authors' identities by using external resources, such as technical reports published on the web. The availability of information on the web that may allow reviewers to infer the authors' identities does not constitute a breach of the double-blind submission policy.
Note that anonymizing your paper is mandatory, and papers that explicitly or implicitly reveal the authors' identities may be rejected.
Paper Submission
Please read the following paper submission guidelines before submitting your papers:
• Each paper should not reveal author's identities (double-blind review process).
• Papers will be checked for plagiarism. The Program Committee reserves the right to desk-reject a paper if it contains elements that are suspected to be plagiarized.
• Submissions should be original and not currently under review at another venue.
• Each paper is limited to 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references. A maximum of two extra pages per paper is allowed (i.e, up to 10 pages), at an additional charge of 100 $ per extra page.
• All papers must be submitted through the IEEE IJCNN 2025 online submission system. For special session papers, please select the respective special session title under the list of research topics in the submission system.
• In order for your papers to be included in the congress program and in the proceedings, final accepted papers must be submitted, and the corresponding registration fees must be paid by May 1, 2025 (11:59 PM Anywhere on Earth).
• IEEE IJCNN 2025 will present the Best Overall Paper Awards and the Best Student Paper Awards to recognize outstanding papers. The awards will be judged by an Awards Committee and the recipient of each award will be given a certificate of the award and a cash prize.
• It is the policy of IJCNN 2025 that new authors cannot be added at the time of submitting final camera ready papers. Please ensure that you are following this guideline to avoid any issues with publication.
If you encounter any problems with the submission of your papers, please contact the conference Technical Program Chairs.

• Paper Size: A4 (210mm x 297mm).
• Paper Length: Each paper should have 6 to MAXIMUM 8 pages, including figures, tables and references. Two additional pages per paper are allowed (i.e., up to 10 pages), at an additional charge of 100 $ per extra page.
• Paper Formatting: double column, single spaced, #10 point Times Roman font. Please make sure to use the official IEEE style files provided above.
• No page numbers please. We will insert the page numbers for you.

Camera Ready
In the camera-ready version of your article, please address all the issues arise by the reviewers. Failing to do so may result in the rejection of your paper.
Please make sure to include authors' names and affiliations in the IEEE Template format.
Virtual Presentation
IJCNN 2025 will offer the option for authors to present their work remotely if necessary. If you plan to present remotely, you must clearly indicate this when registering for the conference by the deadline of May 1, 2025. Remote presenters are required to submit a pre-recorded video of their presentation, which will be made available on demand to conference attendees. Please note, there will be no live presentations for remote participants.
IJCNN 2025 is not a hybrid conference, and we will not be recording any live presentations. Additionally, if you are presenting remotely and will not be attending in person, you will not have access to live presentations or in-person events.
Please be aware that no changes to your presentation format will be accepted after the strict deadline of May 1, 2025.
