All submissions are required to upload a Final Camera Ready Manuscript as the last step of the paper submission process. Submissions without a Final Camera Ready Manuscript will be withdrawn after the Final Camera Ready Manuscript deadline.  

As you prepare your final camera-ready manuscript make sure you:

  • Include all author identifying information that you previously removed during the double-anonymous review process.
    • IEEE EDUCON 2026 reviews were completed with a double-anonymous review process. Please ensure your Final Camera Ready manuscripts are updated to include all relevant author identifying information before uploading. No changes to the author list may be made after the Final Camera Ready Manuscript Deadline.
  • Consider modifying your paper to address the reviewers’ comments
    • To see your reviews, proceed to your submission page on EDAS through the link in your notification email or by navigating to My… > My Papers. From this page, you will select and click the title of the submission you would like to open. 
  • Re-read your paper for spelling and grammatical errors. NO changes to your manuscript may be made after the Final Camera Ready Deadline. The version you submit will be the version published in IEEE Xplore. There are no exceptions.
  • Ensure that your abstract is <250 words and is not formatted as a structured abstract. 
    • The final paper abstract should be that of a traditional paper abstract (i.e., something that describes the problem, educational setting, methods used, and overview of findings) rather than the format of the Structured Abstract initially submitted for review. 
  • Format your paper to that required by IEEE EDUCON using the IEEE paper template (https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
  • Verify your manuscript through PDF eXpress (Instructions below)
