Get your IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging paper right the first time: a ready-made structure with the right abstract and citations, so editors see your science, not formatting slips.

Submitting to IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
| Element | IEEE Transactions on Comput Imaging requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured. The abstract must be between 150-250 words. The abstract must be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of what is in the manuscript. The abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, displayed equations, or references. The abstract should include a few keywords or phrases. Authors may also optionally submit a graphical abstract to be displayed alongside the text abstract |
| Main text | Regular Papers: Maximum 13 double-column pages for initial submission (including title, author information, abstract, text, all figures, tables, appendices, proofs, and references); supplemental materials and graphical abstracts not included in page count. For revised manuscripts: maximum 16 double-column pages (appendices and proofs must be moved to Supplemental Materials). Overview Articles can be up to double the length of Regular Papers. Format: double-column, single-spaced, 10-point font, minimum 1-inch margins on all sides |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | A few keywords or phrases should be included in the abstract. Manuscripts must be classified with an EDICS (Editors' Information Classification Scheme) code selected from the unified EDICS list published on the Signal Processing Society website. Specific count not stated in the official guidelines |
| References | IEEE numbered reference style. References are numbered consecutively in the order of citation in the text and listed in square brackets (e.g., [1], [2]). A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper, arranged in the order of citation in text (not alphabetical). List only one reference per reference number. Manuscripts must follow the IEEE style files available through the IEEE Template Selector (LaTeX and MS Word formats). The abstract must not contain references |
| Peer review | Single-anonymous (single-blind). The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each published article is reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors |

Read the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging in under a page.
Skim two or three recent IEEE Transactions on Comput Imaging papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through ScholarOne (Manuscript Central).
