Confidentiality:
The review process of the conference will be strictly confidential. The practice of keeping all information confidential during the review is part of the standard communication at ICICV. Misuse of confidential information is a severe professional failure and appropriate measures will be taken when brought to the attention of the Conference Organizers. It should be noted that the Conference Organizers will not be responsible for the consequences when reviewers break confidentiality.

Review Process:
By submitting a paper to the conference, the authors agree to our single blind review process and understand that papers will be peer reviewed by our expert reviewers after checking of plagiarism from a plagiarism checking software (preferably “Turnitin”). Authors are required to submit the revised version of the manuscript as per review comments mentioned in the acceptance E-mail. Authors may be asked to undergo further revision(s) to their manuscript before final publication even after Conference.

Plagiarism:
ICICV-2026 respects Intellectual Property Rights. Plagiarism consists of wrong appropriation of someone’s content, thoughts, ideas by representing as one’s original work. This type of violation of ethical principles will not be entertained by the conference at any cost. It should be noted that the Similarity Index and AI Writing Index of the final Camera-Ready Copy (CRC) must be below 15% and 10%, respectively, with no more than 2% similarity from a single source as verified through Turnitin.

Use of AI Tools and Disclosure Policy:
AI-based tools, including large language models such as ChatGPT, may be used only in a limited capacity for language editing, clarity improvement, and formatting, and the AI-assisted content should not exceed 10% of the manuscript. AI tools must not be used to generate core scholarly content, including research ideas, methodology, analysis, results, conclusions, figures, or tables, and may not be listed as authors. Any use of AI tools must be transparently disclosed in the acknowledgments section of the manuscript. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, proper referencing, and ethical compliance of all content, as AI-generated material may contain errors or plagiarized text. All submissions may be subject to plagiarism and AI-content detection checks, and manuscripts containing excessive or undisclosed AI-generated content will be rejected in accordance with the conference’s publication ethics policy.

Dual/ Double Submissions:
The goals of our conference are to publish exciting new work for the first time and to avoid duplicating the effort of reviewers. By submitting a manuscript to the conference, authors acknowledge that it has not been previously published or accepted for publication in substantially similar form in any peer-reviewed venue. Violation of any of these conditions will lead to rejection and will be reported to the other venue to which the submission was sent. Any submission to the conference should not overlap with prior publications or other concurrent submissions. If you need to cite a different paper of yours that is being submitted concurrently to the conference, the authors should cite these papers, argue in the body of your paper why your paper is non-trivially different from these concurrent submissions; and include those papers in the supplemental material. Authors are encouraged to contact the Program Chairs about any clarifications.

Attendance responsibilities:
The authors agree that if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the paper there. Acceptance of a paper does not claim for final publication. Only presented papers will be forwarded to publication partner. Presenters will be provided certificate of paper presentation.
