2025 Research Showcase Call for Papers

The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative wants to highlight the impressive work done by our research community to advance cybersecurity research.

CCI is seeking submissions of peer-reviewed research papers that have been accepted for publication or published in 2024 or 2025. 

We welcome submissions from all CCI researchers.

CCI will feature the selected papers on our website, in social media posts, in the CCI annual report, and other CCI publications to help increase the impact and the number of citations for each paper. 

We'll also work with your home university to spread the word about your research.

Requirements 

The paper must:

• Be based on CCI-funded research.
• Credit CCI in the published text. 
• Focus on cybersecurity.
• Be peer-reviewed.
• Be published during 2024 or 2025 or scheduled to be published in 2025.
• Explain how the paper has significantly advanced the cybersecurity field.

Published Papers Must Focus on Cybersecurity 

Papers that only focus, for example, on 5G or artificial intelligence, but not the cybersecurity aspect of those technologies, will not be considered.
