Reviewing for conference papers will be double blind. Authors should not include their names, affiliations, or acknowledgements in submitted manuscripts, and should ensure that their identity is not revealed indirectly by citing their earlier work in the third person.

Formatting: Papers should be formatted according to the instructions and style files provided by Springer. The LaTeX template for LNCS can be downloaded here or found on Overleaf.

Page Limit: Papers are limited to 15 pages (not including references). Papers that do not meet these requirements will be desk rejected.

Presentation: Accepted papers for ICDAR 2025 will be presented in Oral or Poster presentation forms.

Submission System: All papers should be submitted electronically via the online submission form here.

Important Submission Notes:

• Be careful, complete, and accurate when submitting papers.
• No changes in paper authorship will be permitted after a paper has been submitted.
• No-show papers (papers not presented in person by one of the authors) will not be eligible for a best paper award, and the author(s) will not receive a conference participation certificate. Online presentations may be permitted under specific circumstances and require immediate contact with conference organizers and Program Chairs. Authors must obey the same rules regarding the conference registration process regardless of presentation format.
