Publication Ethics
MCAIT 2026 upholds the highest standards of publication ethics. Submissions must be original and properly attributed, must not be plagiarized or concurrently submitted elsewhere, and are screened for similarity (e.g., via iThenticate). Breaches of research or publication ethics result in rejection in accordance with IEEE’s policies.
Originality Policy
Submissions to MCAIT 2026 must be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere; they may not have been published or accepted in a journal or conference proceedings, nor presented at another conference, and must not be concurrently under consideration elsewhere.
Publication and Presentation Policy
At least one author of each accepted paper must register and present the paper. Papers not presented at the conference may be excluded from publication in IEEE Xplore, and the author list cannot be changed after submission without approval from the conference organizers.
Plagiarism / Similarity Policy
MCAIT 2026 enforces a strict anti-plagiarism policy in line with IEEE standards. All submissions are screened using similarity-detection tools (e.g., iThenticate), and the similarity score must be less than 20%. Papers exceeding this threshold, or containing plagiarized or improperly attributed material, will be rejected, and confirmed violations may be reported in accordance with IEEE’s policies.
