Authors' Guidelines

We are pleased to announce that the paper submission portal for ICBA 2026 is now open. We warmly invite researchers, academicians, and professionals to submit their original research papers, review articles, and case studies for consideration.

All submissions must be written in English and submitted electronically through our online submission portal. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Each submission will undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure academic quality and integrity. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate rejection; therefore, the similarity index must remain below 20%. Authors are solely responsible for obtaining permission to use any previously published figures, tables, or other copyrighted materials included in their manuscripts.

Please note that the conference reserves the right to reject any submission without external review if it does not meet the required standards or scope of the conference. Furthermore, at least one author of each accepted paper must complete registration and present the paper at the conference.

We encourage all prospective authors to submit their valuable research contributions and be part of ICBA 2026.
