Tips & Common Pitfalls

    • Register on CMT first and verify your email before starting — unverified accounts can block submission. cmt3.research.microsoft.com
    • Fill author emails accurately — CMT sends notifications to those addresses.
    • Enter the presenter correctly; otherwise, the online session link may be sent to the wrong person.
    • Include affiliation details exactly as you want them printed in the program.
    • Keep PDF file size modest (under 10–20 MB) and use a standard font/embedding so reviewers can open it.
    • Note the Abstract/Paper submission deadline (31 October 2025) as instructed on the ACTAS website; include your Paper ID when registering. (https://nmu.ac.in/en-us/ACTAS-2026)
    • Note the Conference registration deadline (15 November 2025) and register/pay as instructed on the ACTAS website; include your Paper ID when registering. (https://nmu.ac.in/en-us/ACTAS-2026)
