– Manuscript template (Word file, LaTeX file)

Note: You must add the IEEE copyright notice to the bottom of your source document’s first page. The appropriate copyright clearance code notice appears at the bottom of each paper’s first page according to the guidelines outlined in the Cataloging/Copyright Instructions for an IEEE Conference Proceeding. The copyright notice should appear about 1 cm below the left column and should be aligned to the left with the same left margin as the column.

Tips for adding the IEEE copyright notice to your pdf:

• You may want first to prepare your pdf and then add the IEEE copyright notice separately using a pdf editing program. You can then re-print the document in pdf format and then validate it using IEEE PDF eXpress.
• If you are preparing your paper in LaTeX and you are using the IEEEtran document class, this may help:
  • Add the following code before the \maketitle command:
    \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts
    \IEEEpubid{\makebox[\columnwidth]{978-1-7281-8760-0/21/\$31.00~\copyright 2021 IEEE \hfill} \hspace{\columnsep}\makebox[\columnwidth]{ }}
  • Add the following code after the \maketitle command:
    \IEEEpubidadjcol
  • Make sure you use the appropriate IEEE copyright notice string, as explained above.
