2. General submission requirements
2.1 Language: English (dialects including American, British, Canadian, etc.) is the language of the conference and of all submissions.
2.2 Originality: Submissions to WHICEB2026 must be original; submissions cannot have been published or accepted in a journal or conference proceedings.
2.3 Template and Formatting: Conference proceedings will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). The paper must not exceed 12 LNBIP pages (including the abstract and references). Production of the camera-ready paper will be much smoother if authors use the available MS Word template, which incorporates all the recommended formatting guidelines. Template supporting MS-Word 2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019. Please download the Instructions for installing and using the Author Template, including splnproc1703.docm (Microsoft format) and splnproc1703_mac.docm (Mac format). If your browser (e.g., Chrome ) shows a download risk, please ignore it, this is Springer’s official document.
Any submission that does not use this template or deviates from the formatting requirements will be rejected without review. After formatting your full paper according to the Springer guidelines and before its submission (through the CMS) you are kindly asked to carry out a number of checks.
2.4 Author Information: The papers submitted for review MUST NOT contain any author information due to the double-blind review process. The papers submitted for review not anonymous will be rejected without review.
3. The Types of Paper
Full research papers: The paper should be written in English and not have been published before. The topic of the paper should comply with conference tracks. A full research paper is expected to include innovative research results from empirical research, experiment, modeling, or a theoretical study. Excellent papers after double-blind review will be awarded ‘best paper nomination’ and be recommended to international journals. The length of the submitted paper should not exceed 12 LNBIP pages. At least one author of the accepted paper should attend the conference and present the paper, and accepted papers should register before April 3rd, 2026.
