ICPRv 2027 invites original research contributions in all areas of pattern recognition. Authors should submit their manuscripts electronically through the Microsoft Conference Management Toolkit (CMT). Before preparing or submitting a manuscript, authors must carefully read the Instructions for Authors. The Submission Policies describe the requirements concerning paper categories, page limits, double-blind review, supplementary material, author responsibilities, dual submission, research ethics, reproducibility, and other matters relevant to the review process.

By submitting a paper to ICPRv 2027, the authors confirm that they have read and understood the Submission Policies and agree to comply with all applicable conference requirements.

Accepted Long Papers and Short Papers will be published in the ICPRv 2027 Proceedings, which are planned to appear in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference and must satisfy the camera-ready and registration requirements to be included in the proceedings. Detailed camera-ready instructions will be published after the acceptance notifications.

ICPRv 2027 accepts submissions in two categories:

• Long Papers: up to 15 pages of content including figures and tables, exluding references.
  • Long Paper LaTeX template
  • Long Paper Overleaf template
• Short Papers: up to 8 pages of content including figures and tables, excluding references.
  • Short Paper LaTeX template
  • Short Paper Overleaf template

Authors should select the category that best reflects the scope and nature of their contribution. The selected category determines the applicable template and page limit. The manuscript must be prepared using the correct template for the selected paper category. Authors must not modify the template to reduce margins, font sizes, line spacing, or other formatting parameters. Further information about the scope and evaluation criteria of each category is available in the Submission Policies.

Detailed instructions for LNCS proceedings papers together with Microsoft Word templates are available from the publisher website.

All submissions will be managed through the Microsoft Conference Management Toolkit.

Authors who do not already have a CMT account must create one before submitting a paper. Each author should use an account containing accurate and current contact and affiliation information.

The submitting author should begin the submission sufficiently early to allow all required information to be entered and checked before the deadline. NOTE: You have to register your paper at an earlier deadline.

Authors may update their submission in CMT until the submission deadline. After the deadline, submissions will be locked and further changes will only be permitted with the approval of the Program Chairs.

Before finalizing a submission, authors should verify that:

• the appropriate Long Paper or Short Paper template has been used;
• the correct paper category/track has been selected in CMT;
• the paper satisfies the applicable page limit;
• the manuscript is fully anonymized;
• the mandatory 2-page self-review is included in the paper;
• the supplementary material, if any, is also anonymized;
• the PDF opens correctly and all fonts, figures, tables, and equations are displayed properly;
• the paper title and abstract in CMT match the submitted manuscript;
• all authors are included in the correct order;
• all author profiles and affiliations are accurate;
• conflicts of interest have been declared completely;
• subject areas have been selected carefully;
• the correct manuscript and supplementary files have been uploaded; and
• the submission complies with the complete ICPRv 2027 Submission Policies.

ICPRv 2027 recognizes outstanding scientific contributions and exceptional service to the conference through a series of conference awards.

Paper Awards

Separate awards will be presented for each paper category:

• Best Long Paper Award
• Best Student Long Paper Award
• Best Short Paper Award
• Best Student Short Paper Award

Paper award candidates will be identified based on reviewer evaluations and recommendations from the Area Chairs. The final selection will be made by the Program Chairs, with input from the Awards Committee where applicable. To be eligible for a Student Paper Award, the primary contributor to the work must be a student at the time of submission. Additional eligibility requirements and the nomination process will be announced before the review process is completed.

Reviewer Awards

To recognize exceptional service to the conference, ICPRv 2027 will also present Outstanding Reviewer Awards. Recipients will be selected based on the quality, thoroughness, timeliness, and constructiveness of their reviews, together with recommendations from the Area Chairs and Program Chairs. These awards recognize reviewers who make outstanding contributions to maintaining the high scientific standards of the conference. Outstanding reviewers will get a free registration (authors will still need an author registration).

ICPRv 2027 encourages authors to make their research reproducible and to share the resources needed to validate and build upon their findings. Reproducible research strengthens scientific transparency, facilitates independent verification, and enables other researchers to reuse and extend published results. By making research artifacts accessible and well-documented, authors may also increase the visibility, adoption, and potential citation impact of their work.

Authors may indicate during submission whether they wish their paper to be considered for the Reproducible Research in Pattern Recognition (RRPR) Badge. Participation in the RRPR evaluation is entirely voluntary and does not affect the paper acceptance decision.

The RRPR evaluation is separate from the main scientific review and will be coordinated by the Reproducibility Chairs. Eligibility for the badge may require authors to provide suitable research artifacts, documentation, and instructions enabling the reported results to be reproduced.

Additional information about the RRPR criteria, submission procedure, and evaluation is available from the link below.

The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
