If you wish to propose a special issue, please provide the information outlined below. Submit your proposal to katherine.moretti@springer.com.  All guest editors must be copied on your email using their institutional email addresses.

The International Journal of Computer Vision adheres to the standard Peer Review Policy, Process and Guidance (this opens in a new tab) as outlined by Springer under Editorial Policies (this opens in a new tab) in the Information for Journal Authors (this opens in a new tab) web page.

  • All special issue papers must be prepared in accordance with the Journal guidelines: https://www.springer.com/journal/11263/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab).
  • Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work, relevant to one of the topics of the special issue. 
  • All manuscripts will be subject to the Journal’s rigorous peer review policy, by at least two reviewers. This evaluation will cover the following aspects, but will not be limited to: relevance, significance of contribution to the field, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation. 
  • Conference-based special issue papers are reviewed by the Program Chairs and Program Committee members of the respective conference, with help from external reviewers selected by them.
  • Conference-based special issue papers are expected to have substantial scientific contribution, e.g., in the form of new algorithms, experiments or qualitative/quantitative comparisons, and neither verbatim transfer of large parts of the conference paper nor reproduction of already published figures will be tolerated. Final decisions on all papers are made by the Editor(s)-in-Chief.
