Preparing Your Paper

Please follow the preparation and submission instructions for your CinC papers.

We have prepared templates to help you prepare your CinC paper. Please use the LaTeX template (Overleaf or download) or the Word template. These templates include important instructions, advice, and references. Please use this checklist to check your paper.

Please read and follow the templates. Each year, we need to provide feedback for many teams that miss some of the paper requirements, and each year, some papers are unfortunately rejected because the teams were unable to address important issues that the conference required.

Conference Papers

The conference papers for Computing in Cardiology 2024 will be available on the CinC website.

Supported by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under NIH grant number R01EB030362.
