Technical papers
Technical Papers should present current and original work, incorporating the latest field advancements. This should encompass innovative solutions improving existing practices, providing substantive and valuable insights to others, as well as outcomes from practical work, trials, demonstrations, and pilot studies.
Technical Papers must be between 5 and 10 pages, including the references.
Research Papers
Research Papers should actively contribute to advancing the state of the art by introducing novel concepts, transformative dimension of the research or addressing existing limitations. These papers should demonstrate a high level of scholarship, innovation, and analytical exploration of emerging issues or solutions, surpassing mere re-examination of previously studied subjects.
Research Papers must be between 9 and 12 pages, including the references.

Publication opportunity
Congress participants will have the opportunity to benefit from publication opportunities with IET Intelligent Transport Systems (IET ITS), a peer-reviewed journal indexed in SCI-E (ISI) and EI, which has featured papers from previous ITS World and European Congresses since 2006.
Shortly after the Istanbul Congress, authors of selected Research Papers deemed suitable for academic publication will be formally invited to submit an expanded version. All submissions will undergo the journal's standard peer-review process and, if accepted will be indexed in citation databases.
- All accepted and presented papers will be published in the Congress Paper Publications brochure. Congress presentations will be accessible to designated categories of registered participants, with additional access available for purchase after the event.
