The paper should be submitted by e-mail as a PDF file and also as a Word file by Friday 28th November 2026. The Word file will be used to correct spelling, grammatical and lay-out errors and also for compiling the complete Insucon Proceedings file for the printer.

3. Copyright
The AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT OF COPYRIGHT form must be completed and returned as soon as possible. We are unable to publish the paper unless it has been completed and returned. By this form, the authors also agree to supply a copy of the slides to be used in the presentation so that they may be posted on the Insucon website. You will be asked to assign the copyright of the paper to the Electrical Insulation Association (EIA) so that:-
- a. The EIA as publisher, can effectively publish, market and sell the proceedings worldwide.
- b. The EIA can control and prevent further, often unlawful, copying of the work without permission and proper acknowledgement.
In assigning to the EIA the copyright of the Conference paper/presentation and other material used by the author/presenter, the author and the author’s employers retain all other proprietary rights and can reproduce figures, pictures and extracts and re-use all or portions of the paper/presentation in any other situation but with an acknowledgement to the EIA. The assignment of the copyright to the EIA only applies to the original form of expression used and does not apply to any amended, new or expanded work based on the material in the publication. Inclusion in the Conference Publication will not preclude your offering the material, possibly in an expanded form, for consideration for publication by other journals after the Conference. In the United States, some work, which is performed for or by the Government is in the public domain. Such work can be freely copied in the USA and copyright cannot be claimed by a publisher. In this case, it is suggested that you indicate “This work is in the public domain” at the end of your paper.
