Templates

The templates include instructions on how to write your paper for ICSM 2026 and later publication.

If you are using LaTeX we encourage you to use the free online editor Overleaf, as it ensures compilation on any machine. In that case, you can simply copy the template to your account. Additionally, you can provide a view-only link to your Overleaf project instead of your code folder, when submitting your paper. For more information, please refer to the short guides below.

• LaTeX template in Overleaf (recommended)
• LaTeX template
• Word template (available soon)

Submission

• Submissions should be made through ConfTool.
• All submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another conference or journal.

For subsequent post-processing, an additional file containing the original project data must be provided alongside the PDF. Depending on your workflow, please provide the following files:

• LaTeX in Overleaf (recommended):
  • PDF file of your paper
  • TXT file containing the view-only link of your Overleaf project
• LaTeX:
  • PDF file of your paper
  • ZIP folder containing the complete and compilable LaTeX code folder
• Word:
  • PDF file of your paper
