Instructions for Authors

Paper Submission

For paper submission information, please check the Call for Papers and SBC's Code of Ethics.

Publication Policy

At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered in the symposium by the camera-ready deadline of October 17, 2026 for the paper to be included in the Proceedings. An author surcharge applies to registrations in the student categories. SBESC, SBC, and IEEE also enforce a strict no-show policy, which requires that at least one author attend the conference and present the paper in order to have it published in the Proceedings.

Important: Authors must be aware that each registration fee covers up to two papers by the same author. Additional papers require a separate registration fee (one registration for each two papers).

Camera-Ready Submission

Full papers written in English (up to 6 pages) will be published by IEEE and indexed at IEEE Xplore by CPS.

Full papers written in Portuguese or Spanish (up to 6 pages) will be published by SBC in the SBC Open Library. All published papers will be assigned a DOI and compiled in one of the two parts of the Proceedings.

While preparing the final version of your manuscript, please take the reviewer's scores and remarks into consideration. Also, ensure the manuscript is strictly formatted according to the IEEE two-columns conference template and respect the page limit of each category. Submit it via the SBC's submission system before August 2, 2026.

Copyright Transfer

Authors of papers that will be published by IEEE in the IEEE Xplore received copyright processing instructions by email.

For papers that will be published by SBC in the SBC Open Library, the authors must fill in the SBC publishing authorization form, sign it (using a digital signature platform), and upload it by accessing the link on the paper's page in JEMS.
