Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit their papers to The 3rd International Conference Resilience by Technology and Design (RTD 2026). All submissions will first be screened by the Editorial Team to determine whether they fit the conference themes and meet the basic academic standards. Submissions that align with the conference scope will be forwarded for a peer-review process before a final decision on acceptance is made.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
