Dual/Double Submission

The goal of FETiCON 2025 is to publish exciting new work for the first time and to avoid duplicating the effort of reviewers.

By submitting a manuscript to FETiCON 2025, authors acknowledge that it has not been previously published or accepted for publication in a substantially similar form in any peer-reviewed venue including a journal, conference or workshop, or archival forum. Furthermore, no publication substantially similar in content has been or will be submitted to this or another conference, workshop, or journal during the review period. Violation of any of these conditions will lead to rejection and will be reported to the other venue to which the submission was sent.

A publication, for the purposes of this conference, is defined to be a written work longer than four pages (excluding references) that were submitted for review by peers for either acceptance or rejection, and, after review, was accepted. In particular, this definition of publication does not depend upon whether such an accepted written work appears in a formal proceeding or whether the organisers declare that such work “counts as a publication”.

The above definition does not consider an arXiv.org paper as a publication because it cannot be rejected. It also excludes university technical reports which are typically not peer-reviewed. However, this definition of publication does include peer-reviewed workshop papers, even if they do not appear in a proceeding if their length is more than four pages (excluding citations). Given this definition, any submission to FETiCON 2025 should not have substantial overlap with prior publications or other concurrent submissions.

Publication

Authors wishing to submit a patent understand that the paper’s official public disclosure is two weeks before the conference or whenever the authors make it publicly available, whichever is first. The conference considers papers confidential until published two weeks before the conferences, but notes that multiple organisations will have access during the review and production processes, so those seeking patents should discuss filing dates with their IP council. The conference assumes no liability for early disclosures.

Publicity, Social Media

Papers submitted to FETiCON 2025 must not be discussed with the press until they have been officially accepted for publication. Work explicitly identified as a FETiCON 2025 submission also may not be advertised on social media. Please see the FAQ page for more details. Violations may result in the paper being rejected or removed from the conference and proceedings.
