Submission Guidelines
Full Papers
Please follow the checklist:
- All submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
- The papers must range between 4‑8 pages, including references and any appendices.
- Papers should conform to the IEEE double column format: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
- Papers must be anonymised: the names and affiliations removed, and any references to previous works either substituted with “anonymised” or rephrased.
- All submissions must be submitted in PDF format using the Easychair submission system.
- Please paste your Abstract in the Abstract field in the Easychair system for ease of processing and review allocation.
NOTE that:
- Full Paper submissions will be reviewed by three reviewers from the PC and SPC committees and assessed in terms of their quality, relevance to the conference, originality, significance, correctness, and clarity.
- All accepted papers will have their own DOI.
- Accepted papers will need to incorporate reviewers’ comments and re-submit their paper by the Camera-ready deadline. Instructions will be provided.
- Papers accepted for publication must have at least one author registered and must be presented in person at the conference in order to be considered for publication by IEEE Xplore. Papers from no-show authors will be removed from the proceedings.
- An accepted paper may be selected for either oral or poster presentation depending on review score and topic specificity.
Extended Abstracts
Please follow the checklist:
- Please format your submission using Times New Roman, 12 pt font size, with justified alignment. The total length should not exceed 1000 words, and you may include a maximum of two figures or tables.
- Extended Abstracts could follow the standard structure: Aims/Abstract/Overview, Background, Methods, Results and Conclusions. Alternatively, computer science abstracts can follow a freer headings structure.
- All submissions must be submitted in PDF format using the Easychair submission system.
- Paste your first section (Aims/Abstract/Overview) to the Abstract field in the Easychair system for ease of processing and review allocation.
NOTE that:
- Abstract submissions will be reviewed by three reviewers from the PC and SPC committees and assessed in terms of their quality, relevance to the conference, originality, significance, correctness, and clarity.
- Accepted Extended Abstracts will have to incorporate reviewers’ comments and re-submit their abstract by the Camera-ready deadline. Instructions will be provided.
- Accepted submissions may be selected for either oral or poster presentation depending on review score and topic specificity.
IMPORTANT for all submissions:
The use of Generative AI tools is permitted but must be disclosed. The Scientific Committee reserves the right to exclude any abstract generated solely by AI tools.
At least one author of each accepted Full Paper or Extended Abstract must register for the conference and attend in person to present the work. For teams of co-authors submitting multiple papers, a different author must register for each accepted submission.
Instructions for students submitting to the Main Track
In addition to the dedicated PhD/MSc Student Track, students are also warmly encouraged to submit their work to the Main Track. If submitting to the Main Track, please:
- Indicate your student status (MSc, PhD, or other) by ticking the relevant box on the submission form to be considered for the Best Student Award.
- If your work is accepted to the MainTrack, you can opt in the PhD/MSc Student Track ( by ticking the box in Easychair or by emailing us at support@dphconf.org) even if you have not submitted to the PhD/MSc Track (Day 0), to practice your presentation in a supportive environment, receive mentoring and feedback from peers and experts, and further refine your talk prior to presenting in the Main Conference.
- If your work is conceptual, exploratory, or at an early research stage, we recommend submitting it to the PhD/MSc Student Track and/or the Posters & Demos Track instead.
Publication Opportunities
The DPH 2027 contributions are expected to be published in two separate proceedings (currently in negotiation):
- Accepted Full papers that are presented at the conference will be submitted for possible inclusion into IEEE Xplore DPH 2027 Proceedings.
- see DPH2025 (DPH2026 proceedings are currently in the publication process)
- see DPH2025 (DPH2026 proceedings are currently in the publication process)
- Accepted Extended Abstracts that are presented at the conference will be included in the DPH 2027 Abstract Book, published in Frontiers in Digital Public Health.
If you do not wish your research to be published in the DPH 2027 proceedings, please let us know by contacting support@dphconf.org.
