Dear Authors of accepted submission:

Congratulations for being accepted to contribute a chapter in AI-Enabled Electronic Circuit and System Design - From Ideation to Utilization.

Final draft of your manuscript is due by June 15.

Please follow these basic guidelines for preparing your manuscript:

• Number of pages should be between 30 to 50, one column. In terms of number of words this troughly ranslates to 15,750 to 26,250 words.
• It should be written for general industry and academic readers, such as engineering students, instructors, engineers, technical managers, researchers, etc. who might not necessarily be versed in the specific topic covered in your chapter. As such, the chapter is should be written as an overview, providing a comprehensive encapsulation of the topic under discussion, including the importance, relevance, history, state of the art, trends, applications, and active research areas.
• Title of chapter should be general and encompassing.
• It must be purely technical and unbiased, and should not contain marketing materials, promoting a specific person, organization, research, product, and commercial solution.

The book is intended for publication by Springer, which publishes books in several formats (eBook, printed copy, ePub for iPad, Kindle edition etc.). The array of formats ensures your work can be used according to your reader’s preference and working environment. Your peers can enjoy instant access to your work from multiple locations, including library, office, home or when travelling.  

Producing your chapter as part of the book in several formats is reflected in the preparation of the manuscript and means that all (Word, LaTeX, etc.) manuscript files we receive will be converted to XML and re-formatted according to the Springer branded style. Accordingly, it is no longer necessary for you to spend valuable time putting the final touches to the manuscript. However, we have compiled a list of key style points on manuscript structure, figure resolution, reference style etc., which – if considered during manuscript preparation – will help facilitate and speed up the publication process for your book. For more detailed information, Word and LaTex templates, please visit the Book Manuscript Guidelines on springer.com. Also click here for LaTex template.

Furthermore, please note that all illustrations will be available in full color in the eBook but may be black and white in the printed book. If color is essential for individual figures in the printed version, please list the corresponding figures in a separate spreadsheet.  

To facilitate online searching, using e.g. Google, please provide an abstract of your chapter. Abstracts will appear online at SpringerLink.com with unrestricted access and enable unregistered users to read the abstract as a teaser for the complete chapter.  

If excerpts from copyrighted works (including websites) such as illustrations, tables, animations, or text quotations are included in your manuscript, please obtain permission from the copyright holder (usually the original publisher) for both the print and online format. Refer to the Rights Link or use the attached Permission Request Form.  

Using 3rd Party Materials: 
Please familiarize yourself with the Springer Nature Guide to Copyright and Permissions, which contains advice on including third-party content or material that you have created yourself and published elsewhere in your manuscript.   
Third-party content is defined as any material within the manuscript that is not your original work. Third party content may consist of text passages, figures, photos, poems, song lyrics, screenshots, etc. and be found in many places such as, but not limited to, the Internet, print and online books and articles, theses, annual reports, conference material, photocopies, course packages, and translations. In particular, you should pay close attention to sensitive images containing identifiable persons, logos, brands/trademarks, images from agencies, or from the Internet as well as text content such as song lyrics, poems, interviews, social media content and references to commercial entities.  

As author, you are responsible for clearing the rights for any third-party content. We recommend keeping all quotations and inclusion of copyrighted material to a minimum wherever possible, as gaining permissions can be time-consuming and expensive for the author.  
To obtain permission to use third-party material in the manuscript visit the Rights Holder website or the Copyright Clearance Center. If the material is not found, please exert your best efforts to use our Permissions Request Form and/or Release Request Form (to obtain permission from interviewees or other identifiable individuals or the owners of identifiable property in source material) for your request. If the rights-holder issues their own form, please ensure that the document they provide includes all Required Rights listed in the ‘Guide to Obtaining Permissions’ section in our Springer Nature Third Party Permissions Guidelines. 

It’s a good idea to begin the permissions-clearing process as early as possible, to avoid delays to the publishing process. You may also need to negotiate with rights-holders if they do not meet our requirements. It is crucial that the rights you obtain are sufficient to cover the rights you have granted to us as publisher under your publishing agreement. (will be provided later).

Please do run any permissions queries past us if you’re unsure.
