Authors can submit their research papers to a conference through the PeerSubmit submission page. The platform provides a simple step-by-step submission workflow that guides authors through selecting the appropriate track, adding author information, and uploading manuscript details.

This structured process ensures that all required information is collected before the paper enters the peer review system.

Step 1: Open the Conference Submission Page

To begin the submission process, authors must open the conference submission page.

• Visit the conference website or submission link.
• Click the Submit Abstract or Submit Paper button.
• Sign in or create an account if required.

Once logged in, authors can start the paper submission process.

Step 2: Select the Conference Track

Authors must select the research track that best matches their paper topic.

• Choose the most relevant conference track.
• Review available research topics if provided.
• Ensure the paper aligns with the selected track.

Tracks help organizers assign reviewers with expertise in the correct research area.

Step 3: Add Author and Co-author Details

Next, authors must provide information about all contributors involved in the research.

• Primary author name and contact information
• Institution or affiliation
• Email address for communication
• Additional co-authors if applicable

PeerSubmit allows authors to add multiple co-authors and define their roles easily during submission.

Step 4: Add Manuscript Details

The final step is providing the manuscript details and uploading the research paper.

• Enter the paper title.
• Provide the abstract or summary.
• Add keywords describing the research.
• Upload manuscript files and supporting materials.

PeerSubmit supports submitting a single manuscript or multiple manuscripts depending on the conference requirements.

After Submitting a Paper

Once the submission is completed, the paper enters the conference review system.

• The submission appears in the organizer dashboard.
• Reviewers are assigned based on track and expertise.
• Authors receive updates about review progress and decisions.

This structured workflow helps conferences manage submissions and peer reviews efficiently.
