• Copy Link

The conference submission page is where authors submit their research papers, abstracts, or proposals. Once your Call for Papers (CFP) is configured, you can publish the submission page so that authors can begin submitting their work.

PeerSubmit automatically generates a submission portal for your conference. You simply need to configure your CFP settings and share the submission link with authors.

Complete Your CFP Configuration

Before publishing your submission page, make sure your conference submission settings are properly configured.

• Set submission start and end dates.
• Create tracks and topics for submissions.
• Configure submission forms.
• Configure evaluation forms and review criteria.
• Add program chairs and reviewers.

These steps ensure that submissions can be properly categorized, reviewed, and evaluated.

Verify Submission Settings

Your submission page becomes active automatically based on the submission schedule configured in your conference settings.

• Go to CFP Settings.
• Open Submission Settings.
• Ensure the Submission Start Date has passed.
• Ensure the Submission End Date is in the future.

Once the start date is reached, the submission portal will automatically open for authors.

Preview Your Submission Page

Before sharing the submission page publicly, it is recommended to preview the author submission experience.

• Open your conference dashboard.
• Click the Preview link for your conference.
• Review the submission form and author instructions.

This allows organizers to verify that the submission form, tracks, and guidelines are configured correctly.

Share the Submission Link

Once your submission page is ready, you can share the link with potential authors.

• Add the submission link to your Call for Papers announcement.
• Publish the link on your conference website.
• Share the link through email campaigns and academic networks.

Authors can use this link to access the submission portal and submit their papers.

Monitor Incoming Submissions

After publishing your submission page, you can track submissions directly from the dashboard.

• Go to Review & Decisions.
• Open the Submissions section.
• Monitor newly submitted papers and their status.

This page provides a complete overview of all submissions received for the conference.

Best Practices for Publishing a Submission Page

Publishing a clear and well-structured submission page helps attract high-quality research submissions.

• Provide clear submission guidelines and formatting requirements.
• Clearly display submission deadlines.
• Include track descriptions and research topics.
• Promote the submission link across academic networks.

A well-promoted submission page helps increase the number and quality of conference submissions.
