About the Journal of Electronic Imaging
The Journal of Electronic Imaging (JEI) is a print and online journal, copublished by IS&T and SPIE, that publishes papers in all technology areas that make up the fields of design, engineering, and applications of electronic imaging systems. In 1992, inspired by the success of their cosponsored Electronic Imaging conference, the two societies identified a need for a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the full spectrum of electronic imaging technologies, and JEI was launched as a result.
In addition to contributed research papers, JEI occasionally publishes special sections in key areas of technology. Special sections are assembled by guest editors. See the Editorial Schedule for a list of forthcoming special section topics and dates.

Submit a manuscript
The Journal of Electronic Imaging uses an online submission system.
Authors should read and follow the instructions on how to prepare and format a manuscript prior to submission.
Authors should also read the journal policies prior to submission to ensure their manuscript meets the journal requirements. This page also provides information about submitting a proceedings manuscript to the journal.
Authors are required to include a cover letter with their submission explaining the significance and novelty of the work, the problem that is being addressed, and why the manuscript belongs in JEI.
JEI typically allows only one round of major revision. Authors should carefully address all reviewer comments when submitting a revised manuscript.
Types of Manuscripts
Letter: A short technical communication of significant interest intended for rapid publication in the JEI Letters section of the journal. The manuscript length may not exceed three printed journal pages. Further details below.
JEI Letters: The purpose of this section of the Journal of Electronic Imaging is to provide rapid publication of short technical communications of significant interest. Submissions should be prepared in the same manner as a regular paper, except that there are no author biographies. The manuscript length may not exceed three printed journal pages. This corresponds to approximately 3000 words (excluding title, abstract, and author information); figures will further reduce the maximum word content. A brief cover letter setting forth the significance of the paper must accompany the manuscript. If accepted, letters will be scheduled for publication in the next available issue of the Journal of Electronic Imaging. Regular page charges apply to letters.
Regular Paper: A full-length manuscript presenting original work intended as a regular contribution to the journal.
Special Section Paper: A full-length manuscript presenting original work intended for submission to a special topical section organized by a guest editor.
