News and FAQ

The e-mail with upload instructions will be sent as soon as Springer confirms that the upload system is open. The author designated as the primary contact in CMT will receive the invitation regardless of which author has registered for the conference; we trust that there is communication between co-authors for their joint paper. In the meantime, please prepare your camera-ready manuscript according to Camera-ready Instructions Page.

Any question about camera-ready format and submission can be asked to the group of publication chairs by sending an email to publication_chairs@icpr2026.org if the response is not already present in this FAQ section.

Yes, the order of authors does not have to be identical, although it is not recommended to change it. However, note that all names in the camera-ready manuscript must be among the authors in the CMT entry as the CMT data generates the licence-to publish form.

No, this is not allowed. The title in the uploaded version must match the title in the CMT entry. The rationale is that Springer’s licence-to-publish form, which authors are to sign when uploading the camera-ready version will be generated from the CMT data and therefore the title must be the same in the manuscript.

All authors who have completed a full author registration will receive author instructions how to upload their camera-ready version to Springer. The uploading site will open after 20 April and close on 4 May.

Papers submitted to ICPR can be uploaded to arXiv as they are unreviewed material. Regarding the camera-ready version of an accepted paper, it can be made publicly available on arXiv 12 months after the official publication according to Springer Publishing´s self-archiving policy.

Yes, otherwise Springer will reject the paper upon uploading. Parts of text, tables, and figures that are out-of-bound of the Springer LNCS margins will not be visible in a camera-ready version. According to common layout rules, a manuscript should be readable without having to zoom in. Hence, the font size is to be followed not only in text but also in tables and figures. We anticipate that it should be possible to present your accepted paper in an explanatory way within the allowed 15 pages without pushing limits.

No, this is not allowed. The list of authors in the manuscript must match the list of authors in the CMT entry.

Any question about registration can be asked by sending an email to contactcolloque@insavalor.fr if the response is not already present in this FAQ section.

No deadline extensions are planned. However, we accept payments made by bank transfer or purchase order as long as they are initiated in time for banks to complete the transaction properly.

Yes, as long as there is one full registration for the paper, any author can present the paper. In fact, we encourage supervisors to let their students come forward at ICPR 2026.

The program has not been set yet with partition of papers into oral and poster sessions. The Track Chairs will work on this during May when the camera-ready papers have been well received by Springer. Please note that the distinction between oral and poster papers will not depend on quality, but rather on suitability in the scientific program. Regardless of presentation type, all accepted papers are eligible for the Best Paper Award – and, additionally, the Best Student Paper Award, if the main author is a student.

No, presentations re intended to be onsite. Per the author instructions during submission, there is attendance responsibility that the authors agreed to: If the paper is accepted, then at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the paper.
