Paper Submission 


Background

Participants will be required to submit a paper of length 6-12 pages in order to be eligible for the final ranking and prizes. Participants who participate in both challenges (pre-RT segmentation and mid-RT segmentation) are welcome to submit a single paper describing both methods or separate papers. 


Lecture Notes in Computer Science Proceedings

HNTSMRG 2024 has been accepted for publication as a Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) post-proceedings volume in the Challenges subline. 

Participants should follow the Instructions for Authors of Papers to be Published in Springer Computer Science Proceedings, which contains detailed information on manuscript preparation. Authors will be required to sign a license-to-publish-agreement. 

Specific additional notes from Springer:

  • The license-to-publish-agreement is to be completed and signed by the corresponding author of each paper, on behalf of all of the authors of that paper. The corresponding author, who must match the corresponding author marked on the paper, must have the full right, power, and authority to sign the agreement on behalf of all of the authors of a particular paper, and accepts responsibility for releasing this material on their behalf.
  • Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
  • Authors should consult Springer’s Instructions for Authors of Proceedings and use either the LaTeX or the Word templates provided on the authors’ page, for the preparation of their papers.
  • Please review and take into account the Springer Code of Conduct (https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/book-authors-code-of-conduct). 

Authors are free to structure their papers as they wish but manuscripts should generally focus on methods and technical developments rather than general background or data descriptions (which will be described in detail in the overview papers by the organizers). The HNTSMRG organizers will coordinate the review of submitted papers (3 independent reviewers minimum for each paper). 

After the completion of the challenge, participants are free to submit papers to preprint servers or journals as desired. 

More details to be added soon to this page.
