International Conference on Smart Innovations in Energy and Mechanical Systems (SIEMS-2026)

Authors can submit original and unpublished research papers and case studies, review articles (at the discretion of the steering committee). All papers presented at SIEMS must be related to the conference topics. If the article does not correspond to the conference topics, is not prepared according to the template, the number of pages does not meet the requirements, has a high level of plagiarism, the article does not have scientific novelty, relevance and practical value, or has a low level of English, the steering committee may reject the article and not pass it on for review. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee and evaluated for originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, originality, completeness, contribution and readability. Accepted papers should be presented at the conference by one of their authors, who undertakes to register and attend the conference. In case an author fails to submit an accepted paper at the appointed time and date stipulated in the conference programme, the Steering Committee reserves the right to exclude the paper from the proceedings.

The working language of the conference (including conference proceedings, presentations and discussions) is English. Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out.

Upon request authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation or data in order to verify the validity of the results presented. This could be in the form of raw data, samples, records, etc. Sensitive information in the form of confidential or proprietary data is excluded.

Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.

Please download and follow these essential guidelines when preparing your paper:

• All papers must comply with the Springer guidelines (paper template). Papers with another formatting will be rejected without review. The submission should correspond to the Conference Topics. Otherwise, it will be declined from further consideration without review.
• Plagiarism is strictly monitored and will be checked by CrossRef. Any paper having more than 10% plagiarism will not be accepted for publication.
• All papers will be checked for the English language.
• The minimum length of the paper is 8 (eight) pages and the maximum length of the paper is 10 (ten) pages, including all figures, tables, and references. The papers less than 8 pages and more than 10 pages will be rejected without peer-review.
• The title, abstract, authors, and affiliations, as well as the order of authors in the submission system, should be the same as in your paper.
• Leave only one email address (corresponding author) in the paper. All communication will be realized with the corresponding author only. The corresponding author should specify the corporative e-mail only.
• Please, pay attention that the number of co-authors is limited up to five persons. One person can submit two papers at the most but only one paper as the first author.
• It is preferable to use ORCID for all co-authors.
• Use Title Case for the paper title, i.e., capitalizing all main words. Do not include academic titles or descriptions of academic positions in the paper.
• The abstract should summarize the content (goal, scientific novelty, practical value, used methods, main results, etc.) of the paper in short form, i.e., 150-250 words. The abstract should objectively represent the article: it must not contain results that are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
• Keywords cannot duplicate the words and(or) phrases from the paper's title.
• The paper should be prepared using the following structure: 1 Introduction, 2 Literature Review, 3 Research Methodology, 4 Results and Discussion, 5 Conclusions, 6 Acknowledgment (if necessary).
• Use high-quality figures in your paper (resolution at least 300 dpi).
• Supply all figures electronically.
• Name your figure files with "Fig" and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.jpg.
• Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
• Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets.
• The Editorial Board highly encourages you to cite up-to-date literature (2020-2025 preferable), which indexed by databases Scopus and Web of Science (peer-reviewed journals with high impact factors are preferable). The recommended References List is 15-25 literature resources. Self-citation is allowed, but not more than 2 sources in the reference list.
