2026 IEEE Signal Processing Workshop
13-17 September 2026, Tampere, Finland

Publishing & Paper Presentation Options

Background

IEEE continues to be the most cited publisher in US and European new technology patents. Learn more about the benefits of publishing with IEEE.

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

1. Submit a conference paper
Authors are invited to submit papers that are up to five pages for technical content including figures and references, and one optional sixth 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.

Top papers will be highlighted in Spotlight Oral Sessions. Some top accepted papers with exceptional maturity and/or novelty as determined by the program committee, will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for expedited review in select SPS journals. View submission instructions, templates for paper format, and the “no show” policy (link to author information).

2. Submit a journal paper to the IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing (OJ-SP)
Authors have the option to submit a “short paper” (up to eight pages of technical content and one for references) for publication in the IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing (OJ-SP), the completely open-access (Gold OA) journal of the SPS, instead of in the conference proceedings. Papers submitted to OJ-SP prior to the advertised 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 in the conference program. The article processing charge (APC) for open access publication is paid after acceptance.

To present an accepted paper at ICIP, 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 journal paper
Authors who have published a paper in a Signal Processing Society Journal [1] or a Eurasip Journal [2] within the last year from the regular paper submission deadline may submit a Journal Paper Presentation Request to present the paper at the conference. Authors of papers that fit within the scope of the conference 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 published in IEEE Xplore.

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 SPS 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.
