  3. Review is single blind and papers having poor quality and/or high similarity index will be desk rejected (without review).

Procedure for Uploading Papers

1. Go to the paper submission website

2. You will see a dialogue box below with the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Energy Technologies for Future Grids (ETFG) emblem on the page. If you are new to the system, you will need to register.

3. Follow the wizard to finish the registration. Upon finishing, you’ll have an account in the system with user ID and Password.

4. Again, log into the system using your login account info (email address and password). From the drop-down menu, select the track to which you want to send the papers. It is the responsibility of the author to send his/her paper to the most appropriate track. Otherwise, it may be difficult to get proper review of the papers. Make sure that you are submitting the paper to only one track. Otherwise, your paper will be rejected.

5. Fill out the submission form - title, abstract, authors and enter email ID and details of all the co-authors (Name, Designation, Institute and the Country to which your institute is affiliated etc) and submit your paper.

6. Please note, the Microsoft CMT system does not send confirmation emails after paper submission. However, the submitting author can send email to all authors through the paper submission page. To verify your submission, you may again log in to the system to check the submitted file.

Paper review Process for IEEE ETFG 2023

We are inviting authors to submit full papers. Only, full papers will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the area, through a single-blind review process. The review process may take around two months and the decision on accept/reject will be made after completing the full review process. The outcome will be notified to the authors accordingly.
