Submission Options
Journal-first Option
Authors who wish to have their EI paper appear in and therefore be cited as a journal manuscript (vs. citation as a proceedings paper) may submit a complete, final manuscript-length paper (typically 8-12+ pages) of original work directly to the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology (JIST) or Journal of Perceptual Imaging (JPI) by 30 June 2018.
Papers submitted using this option progress through the journal peer-review process, with the additional requirement that, as the time to publication is shortened to accommodate the EI conference dates, the submissions must be publication-ready. Papers that require more than minor revisions are not accepted for publication in time for EI 2019. Note: Papers accepted for JIST- or JPI-first are presented as oral papers at EI and published as reprints in the conference proceedings.
For more information: JIST-first Guidelines or JPI-first author guidelines.
