Paper preparation

Instructions

All contributions properly presented at IPAC’26 by a registered author will be published in the conference proceedings on the JACoW.org website.

For every contribution authors are asked to submit a paper that respects the paper guidelines. Use of the official JACoW templates is mandatory – always download the latest version of the template (Word, LaTeX or OpenDocument) before starting to write a paper, even if you are an experienced author and/or have submitted a paper in a previous JACoW conference. Do NOT reuse the source file from a previous paper to avoid use of possibly old template parts.

The deadline for the submission of paper contributions to the proceedings is:

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 at 23:59 CEST (UTC+2)

The Editor in Chief reserves the right to refuse papers for publication that do not meet a reasonable level of preparation.

Quick summary

  1. Download the official JACoW templates.
  2. Write your paper by following the paper guidelines.
  3. Submit the paper through the IPAC’26 Indico pages.
