The recommended formatting guidelines for a smoother production of the camera-ready paper (digital version):

• Template supporting MS Word.

Instructions for using the author template:

• Instructions for MS Word..

All submitted papers/contributions will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review.

These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. 

Authors of accepted research contributions who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their works, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers, short papers, research-in-progress, demos, posters, etc.

All contributions will be reviewed by the International Program Committee, and if of a high enough standard, accepted for presentation orally or by poster.

The registered author can present more than one work. In short, one (1) registration is equal to two (2) research contributions. For example: Paper #1 and paper #2; Paper and short paper; Paper and poster ; Demo and poster; Research-in-progress and demo; etc.

The authors can appear as co–authors in several papers, demos, posters, and so forth, in HCITOCH 2026 and the affiliated international workshop can present two (2) or more research works.

Non-registered authors may not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions.
