Informations for Authors

Authors interested in submitting a proposal for AIUCD 2025 are invited to carefully read all the instructions on this page.

Template for Preparing the Proposal

Proposals must be submitted exclusively in PDF format and prepared using the NEW template, available here:

The template has been updated from previous years to improve citation management, now following the APA style, and to optimize the document’s accessibility, ensuring wider access to the content.

The downloadable package includes the following files:

  • Template-AIUCD-2025-ENG.docx and Template-AIUCD-2025-ITA.docx: editable files in MS Word/DOCX format. We recommend starting from these files based on the language of the proposal if you are using Microsoft Word.
  • Template-AIUCD-2025-ENG-ODT.odt and Template-AIUCD-2025-ITA-ODT.odt: editable files in OpenDocument Text format, compatible with software such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Use these files according to the language of the proposal if you are using one of these programs.
  • Template-AIUCD-2025-ENG.pdf and Template-AIUCD-2025-ITA.pdf: reference PDFs that show the expected final appearance of the submission.

It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that the proposal is formatted according to the provided template. Proposals that do not follow the template will be rejected without review. The organizers will not perform any post-editing to adapt submissions to the conference template.

When saving or exporting the document to PDF, please ensure that you enable the options to generate an accessible PDF in your word processing software (e.g., Microsoft Word, LibreOffice).

For any questions or clarifications regarding the use of the template, please contact the Proceedings Chair of the conference.

Important aspects to consider before submitting the PDF proposal

  • Template Compliance: Proposals that do not follow the above template will be rejected without review.
  • Formatting: Follow all formatting styles for each section, ensuring that spaces and line breaks match the template.
  • Second Title: Ensure the inclusion of the second title corresponding to the abstract in the second language (structure: title in italics, followed by the abstract on a new line, and then the keywords on another new line).
  • Paragraph Alignment: All paragraphs must be left-aligned (do not use full justification).
  • References: Provide complete details for each reference in the References section. Do not use shortcuts (e.g., dashes) to avoid repeating the names of authors cited multiple times.
  • Length: The proposal’s length must not exceed 5 pages (excluding references). Content beyond page 5 should only include bibliographic references.
  • Double-Blind Review: The review process is double-blinded. Do not include the authors’ names under the title or any identifying information (e.g., in acknowledgments or other sections). Authors’ details will be added later on in the camere ready version, in case of acceptance.
