How to submit a regular paper
To submit your regular papers please follow these steps:
1. Create an account (if you don’t have one already) on the RAS Papercept submission portal. Generate a PIN by clicking on the “PIN” tab, and then select “Register a new PIN.” Kindly request all your co-authors to follow the same process if they don’t have an account in the system yet. Make sure to note down the authors’ PINs as this information is necessary for manuscript processing.

4. Click on “Regular Paper” and follow the submission instructions provided on the submission portal (make sure to enter all co-authors’ PINs created in Step 1).
Special session papers are distinct from regular papers because they are tailored to the specific topic of a special session. Special session papers undergo the same review and selection process as regular papers but are grouped together within the special session to create a cohesive program. In case a special session receives less than 4 accepted papers, those papers may be assigned to or combined with another special or regular session.
After a special session is approved it will be published in this website. Authors intending to submit papers for a specific special session should obtain the session code from the session organizer(s) or find the code here. This code will link the paper to the intended special session.
The number of pages (including text, figures, tables, acknowledgement and references) is limited to six, but two additional pages will be permitted at an extra page charge. Special session papers exceeding 8 pages will be returned without review.
