6. Guidelines to Secure Your Scopus & EI Indexing

To guarantee your manuscript successfully passes the technical program committee (TPC) peer-review process, implement these strict submission standards:

1. Strictly Comply with Specified Templates: Formats vary substantially depending on the publisher. For instance, ACM proceedings require the ACM Primary Article Template, whereas IEEE-sponsored events necessitate the standard double-column template. Non-compliant layouts face immediate desk rejection.

2. Perform Plagiarism Self-Checks: Ensure your final manuscript is evaluated via plagiarism screening tools (such as Turnitin or iThenticate). Your overall similarity index must be strictly $< 15\%$, with any single external source similarity strictly $< 5\%$.

3. Draft a High-Quality Abstract: The abstract must be a single, concise paragraph that clearly isolates the research problem, your novel methodology, key quantitative experimental outcomes, and concrete computer science implications.

4. Acquire Proper Copyright Transfer: Upon acceptance, authors must strictly complete and submit the electronic copyright transfer forms provided by the publisher (e.g., the ACM Rightslink portal) to authorize subsequent publication in digital archives.
