1. Language Proficiency
ACRS 2025 maintains English (British) as the official language for all submissions and presentations to ensure broad accessibility and understanding among the international audience. This standardizes communication and allows for effective dissemination of research findings. Authors are strongly encouraged to have their abstracts reviewed by native English speakers or professional editors to ensure clarity and accuracy.
2. Emphasis on Original Research
The core principle of ACRS 2025 is to showcase original, cutting-edge research. Abstracts must reflect work that is entirely novel and has not been previously presented or published in any similar form. This commitment to originality ensures that the conference remains a platform for the dissemination of new knowledge and advancements in remote sensing.
3. Strict Adherence to Ethical Standards
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense and will not be tolerated. All submissions will undergo rigorous plagiarism checks using advanced software. A similarity index of 20% or more will result in immediate rejection. Proper citation of all sources is mandatory. Authors must meticulously document all borrowed ideas, data, and methodologies.
4. Clarity and Conciseness
Abstracts should be concise and clearly articulate the essence of the research. Authors should focus on the key objectives, methodologies, results, and conclusions. Avoid unnecessary jargon or overly complex language. The abstract should be easily understood by a diverse audience of remote sensing professionals.
5. Submission Limits
To ensure a fair opportunity for all researchers and to manage the review process effectively, each author is limited to a maximum of three abstract submissions. This policy allows for a wider range of research to be presented while maintaining the quality of the conference.
6. Formal Declaration of Authorship
The submission of a signed declaration form is mandatory. This form serves as a formal acknowledgment of the author’s contribution and originality of the work. It also confirms that all co-authors have consented to the submission. The scanned copy of the signed form must be submitted along with the abstract for the submission to be considered complete.
7. Co-author Consent
In collaborative research, it is the responsibility of the corresponding author to ensure that all co-authors are fully aware of and consent to the submission. This ensures transparency and avoids any potential disputes regarding authorship. The declaration form includes a section for co-author consent.
8. Presenter Registration
To ensure active participation and commitment to the conference, the presenting author must be registered for ACRS 2025 by the time of abstract acceptance. This policy helps to ensure that accepted abstracts are presented at the conference.
9. Finality of Reviewer Decisions
The decisions made by the reviewers are final. The reviewers are experts in the field of remote sensing, and their evaluations are based on the quality, originality, and relevance of the submitted abstracts. Authors are expected to make all necessary revisions as recommended by the reviewers.
10. Formal Abstract Withdrawal
Abstracts can only be withdrawn after acceptance with a formal written explanation sent to the ACRS 2025 Secretariat. This policy discourages frivolous submissions and ensures that the conference program remains stable.
11. Presentation Obligation
Acceptance of an abstract implies a commitment to present the research at ACRS 2025. Failure to present without a valid reason may result in exclusion from future ACRS conferences. This policy reinforces the importance of disseminating research findings and engaging with the conference community.
1. Title of the Abstract
The abstract title is the initial point of contact with reviewers and potential attendees. It should be crafted with utmost precision and impact. Utilize Times New Roman font, size 12, bold, and center-aligned. Aim for brevity, ensuring the title is descriptive and does not exceed two lines. Capitalize the first letter of each word, excluding prepositions and articles. Avoid abbreviations to maintain clarity and broad accessibility. A well-constructed title serves as a concise yet powerful representation of your research’s core focus.
Example:
Enhanced Urban Land Cover Classification Using Deep Learning and High-Resolution Satellite Imagery
2. Authors and Affiliations
Accurate attribution of authorship and affiliation is crucial for academic integrity and effective communication. List the authors’ names and affiliations directly below the title. Employ initials after the last name and use superscript numbers to denote affiliations. If authors hail from multiple institutions, use distinct superscript Arabic numbers for each. Designate the corresponding author with an asterisk (*). Provide the corresponding author’s email address, center-aligned, in Times New Roman font, size 10. This ensures efficient communication between the conference organizers and the authors.
Example:
Li, M.J.¹, Silva, A.B.², Kim, S.H.¹,*, and Patel, R.K.³
¹Department of Geoinformatics, University of Technology, Beijing, China
²Remote Sensing Division, National Space Agency, Lisbon, Portugal
³Environmental Science Faculty, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun

3. Text/Body of the Abstract
The abstract’s body should present a concise yet comprehensive synopsis of your research. Compose it as a single paragraph, devoid of subheadings, indentation, or references. It should encapsulate the research problem, objectives, methodologies, key findings, and conclusions. Prioritize clarity and conciseness, avoiding bullet points or lists. Aim to convey the essence of your research within the 300-word limit, providing a clear understanding of its scope and significance.
Example:
This study investigates the application of deep learning techniques for enhancing urban land cover classification using high-resolution satellite imagery. The research addresses the challenge of accurately mapping complex urban environments by employing a convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The methodology involves processing multispectral imagery from the WorldView-3 satellite, followed by training and validating the CNN model. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in classification accuracy compared to traditional methods, achieving an overall accuracy of 92%. This approach provides valuable insights for urban planning and environmental monitoring.
4. Keywords
Keywords play a vital role in indexing and classifying your research. Provide three to five keywords or phrases, arranged alphabetically and separated by commas, beneath the abstract’s body. These keywords enable reviewers to categorize your abstract accurately and assist conference attendees in discovering relevant research. Select keywords that accurately reflect your research’s focus and contribute to its discoverability.
Example:
Deep learning, land cover classification, remote sensing, satellite imagery, urban planning
5. Formatting Specifications
Adherence to meticulous formatting specifications is paramount to maintain uniformity and project a professional image across all submitted abstracts. Prepare your abstract using British English within a Microsoft Word (.docx/.doc) document. Employ A4 paper size (210 x 297 mm), with single-sided printing. Utilize Times New Roman font, size 12, with 1.5 line spacing. Justify the text alignment and maintain 2.5 cm (1 inch) margins on all sides. The abstract must not exceed 300 words. Set spacing before and after paragraphs to 0. Italicize all non-English and technical terms. Strictly avoid the inclusion of abbreviations, figures, tables, plates, and page numbers.
Furthermore, pay close attention to punctuation and spelling accuracy. Ensure that all sentences are clear, concise, and easily comprehensible. Refrain from using overly lengthy or convoluted sentence structures. Adopt a formal and objective tone, aligning with established academic standards. When incorporating technical terminology, ensure that such terms are clearly explained or defined upon their initial usage.
Finally, conduct a thorough proofreading of your abstract to eliminate any grammatical, spelling, or formatting errors. It is highly recommended to seek a peer review from a colleague or mentor before submission. A well-crafted abstract, meticulously adhering to the prescribed format, significantly enhances your chances of acceptance at ACRS 2025.
1. Check the Official Website
