ICIP must offer an opportunity for SPS journal papers accepted or published within the last year to be presented at the conference. Other sole SPS-sponsored conferences and workshops may also offer this program.

Co-sponsored conferences and co-sponsored journals may participate in this option upon agreement of conditions with all co-sponsoring partners of both the conference and the journals. Since the paper has been accepted and published by IEEE, no further review of the paper is required.

Authors of submitted journal papers that meet the specified criteria will receive an acceptance letter, and upon registration will receive an invoice and invitation letter to apply for internal funding and/or travel visa to attend and present the paper.

Where possible, journal papers presented at the conference will be included in the conference proceedings provided to conference attendees, by downloading the original paper from IEEE Xplore® to include on conference proceedings for attendees. Journal papers will not be included in the published conference proceedings.

Eligibility requirements for this option are outlined below:

• Paper must have been published or accepted for publication in an SPS journal within the 12-month period preceding the conference paper notification of acceptance date (i.e. the journal presentation request submission deadline);
• The paper topic should be aligned with the conference’s technical program, and authors should select relevant EDICS from the conference’s list;
• Authors of accepted journal papers must meet the same registration requirements as all authors, including the total number of papers that can be covered by a single registration.

Starting in 2023, the Open Journal on Signal Processing (OJSP) will provide an alternative review path for papers intended to be presented at ICIP. Papers submitted to OJSP prior to the conference submission deadline that are designated as being intended for presentation at the conference will receive expedited review to ensure that a decision is available in time for inclusion of accepted papers in the conference program. Such accepted papers will be published in OJSP, and will also be eligible for presentation at the conference.

This trial will provide an Open Access option for authors submitting their papers to ICIP, utilizing OJSP as the publication venue. Additional publication venues will also be considered in the future, including publication of papers in other SPS journals. Accepted authors will be required to meet the same obligations as all conference authors, including the submission deadlines, peer review, registration at the full author rate, and presentation of the paper at the conference.

IEEE continues to be the most cited publisher in US and European new technology patents. Learn more about the benefits of publishing with IEEE (https://www.ieee.org/publications/authors/publishingbenefits/index.html).

ICIP 2024 offers several ways for authors to present their latest research:

1. Submit a conference paper
   Authors are invited to submit papers (up to 6 pages for technical content including figures and references, and one optional 7th page containing only references). To maximize visibility and impact, all accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore digital library and will be freely accessible and downloadable by all, in final format, beginning one month prior to the conference and through the conference end date (Open Preview). View submission instructions, templates for paper format, and the “no show” policy (link to author information).
2. Submit an open access journal paper in the Open Journal of Signal Processing (OJSP)
   Following the same timeline as the conference papers, authors have the option to submit their paper for publication with the Open Journal of Signal Processing instead of in the conference proceedings. This journal is 100% open access, which means that all content is freely available without charge to users or their institutions. All articles are currently published under Creative Commons licenses (either CCBY or CCBY-NC-ND), and the author retains copyright. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles published under CCBY, or use them for any other lawful purpose, as long as proper attribution is given. Articles published under CCBY-NC-ND are also available to users under the same conditions as CCBY, but the reuse cannot be for commercial purposes or change the work in any way. Open access is provided through the payment of an article processing charge (APC) paid after acceptance. To present your paper at , the accepted paper must be covered by a full author registration fee. View submission instructions, APC’s on the Signal Processing Society website.

3. Present an accepted SPS journal paper
   Authors who have published a paper in a Signal Processing Journal within the last year may submit their published journal paper and present it at the conference, in order to discuss and advance the research and find additional collaborative opportunities. Authors of journal papers will receive an acceptance letter, and upon registration will receive an invoice and invitation letter to apply for internal funding and/or travel visa to attend and present the paper. Where possible, journal papers presented at the conference will be included in the conference proceedings provided to conference attendees, by downloading the original paper from IEEE Xplore® to include on conference proceedings for attendees. Journal papers will not be included in the conference proceedings.

Eligibility requirements are outlined below:

1. Paper must have been published or accepted for publication in an SPS journal within the 12- month period preceding the conference paper notification of acceptance date (i.e. the journal presentation request submission deadline);
2. Paper topic should be aligned with the conference’s technical program, and authors should select relevant EDICS from the conference’s list;
3. Authors of accepted journal papers must meet the same registration requirements as all authors, including the total number of papers that can be covered by a single registration.
