Initial Paper Submission
As with the last ISMR, we are providing authors with two options to present their research at the symposium, namely: 1) Submission through Journal of Medical Robotics Research (Editorial Manager) for presentation at ISMR and 2) submission to Papercept for publication in IEEE Xplore.
Option 1. Submit your paper to the JMRR by November 1, 2024 and select the option for 2025 ISMR during the JMRR submission process through the Editorial Manager system. JMRR paper submission guidelines are available on the JMRR website under “Submission Guidelines”. Please note that JMRR papers are limited to 8 pages in length (excluding reference pages).
The review process for submissions to JMRR will be conducted in up to two rounds with one Major/Minor Revision allowed. If the paper is accepted for JMRR, it will be accepted for presentation at the 2025 ISMR, with the paper information included in the proceedings of 2025 ISMR.
All papers accepted in JMRR for presentation in the 2025 ISMR will only be published in JMRR after at least one author registration and paper presentation at the 2025 ISMR. These JMRR papers will be published in the journal after the 2025 ISMR.
Option 2. Submit your paper through Papercept to 2025 ISMR for publication in IEEE Xplore, by November 1, 2024. Instructions for preparing the symposium papers will be available on the ISMR website (ISMR 2024 Paper Submission) and all submissions must follow the paper formatting instructions for IEEE conference proceedings that are available on the ISMR website. The page limit for each submission is flexible. However, the paper material (including text, figures, tables, acknowledgement, etc.) must fit into 6 pages, while there is no page limit for the bibliography/references section (n pages). Papers exceeding the (6+n) page limit at the time of submission will be returned without review. All accepted and presented papers that follow the IEEE format will be included in IEEE Xplore.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the outcome of the review process, each accepted paper will be chosen for either an oral or a poster presentation. All accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings.
Note that a student registration fee covers only one accepted paper to be uploaded for inclusion in the symposium proceedings. A full registration fee covers up to two accepted paper uploads, provided the registrant is an author on both papers.
