Register Without Institutional Email | Generated by AI
This looks like a registration form prompt (common on conference/journal submission systems like EasyChair or similar). You’re being asked to either provide an institutional email or certify that you don’t have one.
Since you don’t have an academic/institutional email (you’re an independent engineer, not affiliated with a university or research institution), the honest answer is to certify and proceed with your Gmail account.
Practically:
- Check/agree to the certification box: “I certify that either I do not have another email account affiliated with an academic or research institution, or I understand that my institution will not automatically be recognized…”
- Continue with
lzwjava@gmail.com.
You’re not lying — you genuinely don’t have an institutional affiliation. Free email is explicitly allowed; you just accept the minor risk of verification delays. That’s fine for an independent researcher.
If a text field is literally asking “Do you have another email address?” and you don’t, just leave it blank or write “No” and tick the certification.
