Authors must not violate privacy and confidentiality rules and, as always, permission must be sought for use of third-party content.
- For papers that are reviewed and accepted, the corresponding author, also on behalf of the co-authors, must physically sign (not digital signature) the LNCS Copyright Form.
The Copyright Form has to be signed by the corresponding author on behalf of all other authors (after seeking their permission) and submitted only for accepted papers, i.e. when the authors upload their final files/papers, and not while submitting initial manuscripts for review.
As per the Springer LNCS Author Guidelines link mentioned earlier, Digital Signatures are NOT acceptable. The corresponding author must print, sign and scan the filled form.
The Copyright From covers all legal aspects between the authors and the publisher.
** An open access option for accepted papers is being considered. The Gold Open
Access fee may be around Euro 200 for 10 pages in Springer Format with the conference
covering part of the cost. Also, in that case, the CC-BY Copyright Form should be used:
ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/CC_BY/Springer_OA_CC_BY.pdf
Accurate details will be released via conference website once the arrangements are finalized.
