Uploading the manuscript is one of the final steps in the conference submission process. In PeerSubmit, authors can upload their research papers and provide the necessary manuscript details before completing the submission.

The platform provides a simple interface where authors can upload their manuscript files, add abstracts and keywords, and ensure that all required information is included before submitting the paper for peer review.

Step 1: Open the Manuscript Details Section

During the submission process, authors will reach the Manuscript Details section after selecting tracks and adding author information.

• Enter the title of the research paper.
• Provide a short abstract summarizing the research.
• Add keywords related to the research topic.

These details help reviewers quickly understand the scope and focus of the research.

Step 2: Upload the Manuscript File

Authors can upload the research manuscript file directly from their device.

• Click the Upload File or Select File button.
• Choose the manuscript file from your computer.
• Ensure the file meets the conference submission guidelines.

Once uploaded, the manuscript file will be attached to the submission and made available for reviewers.

Step 3: Add Multiple Manuscripts (If Allowed)

Some conferences allow authors to submit multiple manuscripts within the same submission session.

• Click the Add Manuscript option if available.
• Upload additional manuscript files.
• Provide details for each manuscript separately.

This feature is useful for conferences that allow multiple submissions or supplementary research documents.

Supported File Formats

Conference organizers may define which file formats are allowed during submission. Common formats include:

• PDF documents
• Microsoft Word documents (.doc or .docx)
• Supplementary files such as images or datasets

Authors should follow the conference guidelines to ensure their manuscript meets the required format.

Review Your Submission Before Uploading

Before completing the submission, authors should carefully review the uploaded files and manuscript details.

• Confirm the correct manuscript file is uploaded.
• Check that the title and abstract match the manuscript.
• Ensure all required files are included.

Once the manuscript is uploaded successfully, authors can proceed to finalize and submit their paper.

Next Step

After uploading the manuscript and completing all submission details, the paper can be submitted to the conference and will enter the peer review process.
