Per IEEE policy, all final papers submitted to IEEE will be reviewed for plagiarism using the IEEE cross check platform. See the IEEE Author Center for additional information on ethics requirements for conference publications.
Please avoid excessive self-citation in the final manuscript. Excessive self-citation occurs when authors excessively reference their own papers in their work. It can also arise when an author repeatedly cites the work of another author, which is known as redundant citation or repeated authors in the reference section. COMPEL may reject the full paper or request revision if excessive (>25%) self-citation is identified.

COMPEL 2025 also uses EasyChair to transfer copyright to IEEE. If you are an author of a paper with an unsigned copyright agreement, a link to sign the agreement will be available under your "Alerts" main menu tab accessible from anywhere in EasyChair. Your alerts will contain a link "IEEE copyright agreement for paper ...". Simply follow this link and you will be redirected to the IEEE eCF pages where the agreement can be signed.
Alternatively at your submission information page a “Sign Copyright Agreement” button will be available. Please note that if neither is available, one of your co-authors may already have signed the form on your behalf. Once submitted, the eCF form cannot be revised. No metadata for your final published paper is taken from the eCF so minor changes (including to authors) do not require a revision to the eCF. For any questions about your eCF form, contact mailIEEE copyright support.
Important note: A copyright submission form is required for each paper. Failing to submit an electronic copyright will result in denial of paper publication in both the COMPEL 2025 conference proceedings and the IEEE Xplore database.
