Acknowlegment:
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free (http://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/About).
The Microsoft CMT system will only manage the article lifecycle. Other aspects of the conference (e.g., registration) will be managed through different online systems. This official page will provide the most current information about all aspects of the conference.
The CMT conference management system has many similarities with other similar systems (Easychair, EDAS, etc.), and you can use it for the first time without issues. We have prepared a tutorial to help you learn how to use it for our conference below.
USER REGISTRATION
Go to this webpage: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com
The CMT system will display a login dialog. Make sure the conference is correctly identified as “International Conference on Contemporary Risk Studies”:
Please follow the steps below based on your registration status: existing users can proceed with login, while new users should complete the registration process.
New Users
- Enter your information in the ‘Create New Account’ page.
Fields with an <*> asterisk are required.
- Enter the captcha characters, check the ‘Agree to Terms of Use‘ checkbox and click ‘Register.’
Email Verification
- The “Welcome to CMT” page appears notifying you that an email was sent to you with a verification (activiation) link.
- The verification link is a one-time link. Once you click on it and get the message that the account has been verified, just log into your CMT account.
Important!
- If no verification email is received, please check the spam/junk folder.
There are some universities/workplaces which have strict firewalls and CMT emails do not get through. We suggest contacting the IT dept and asking them to whitelist ‘@msr-cmt.org’. - Most importantly – make sure your browser is up-to-date. Typing ‘edge://settings/help‘ into Microsoft Edge will let you know if your browser is current, and it will automatically update if it is not.
- For web-based emails like GMAIL, please clear the cache.
- Make sure the email used for your account was not misspelled in any way.
- If there is still no verification email with the link, contact CMT Support directly.
Verification Error
- If you click the link in the email and see ‘Sorry your account could not be verified,’ it likely means it already has been verified and all that is needed is just to log into CMT.
- If you have forgotten your password, please click on the Reset Password tab to initiate the recovery process. Then, enter the same email address associated with your account to receive instructions for resetting your password.
