Submit on Behalf of Authors

As a conference chair or track chair, you can submit papers on behalf of authors who may need assistance — for example, authors who missed the deadline or are having technical difficulties.

Two Submission Modes

When you visit the submission page for a track you manage, a blue info box appears at the top of the form with two options:

---

Submit as an Author/Co-author (Default)

This is the default mode. Use it when you are one of the paper's authors.

1. Navigate to the track's submission page
2. The "Submit as an author/co-author" option is selected by default
3. Fill in the form as usual — you must add yourself to the author list
4. Click "Submit Paper"

The paper is created with you as the owner and appears in your My Submissions page.

Submit on Behalf of Another Author

Use this mode when submitting a paper for someone else. You will not be listed as an author.

1. Navigate to the track's submission page
2. Select "Submit on behalf of another author"
3. Fill in the paper details (title, abstract, keywords, file)
4. Add the actual authors — do not add yourself
5. Designate the Paper Owner by checking the "Paper owner" checkbox on the appropriate author

6. Click "Submit Paper"

Who Can Use This Feature

Both conference chairs and track chairs see the submission toggle on tracks they manage. Regular authors do not see it.
