High visibility

IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications's open access policy allows maximum visibility of articles published in the journal as they are available to a wide, global audience. 

Speed of publication

IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications offers a fast publication schedule whilst maintaining rigorous peer review; all articles must be submitted online, and peer review is managed fully electronically (articles are distributed in PDF form, which is automatically generated from the submitted files). Articles will be published with their final citation after acceptance, in both fully browsable web form, and as a formatted PDF; the article will then be available through IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications and SpringerOpen.

Flexibility

Online publication in IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications gives you the opportunity to publish large datasets, large numbers of color illustrations and moving pictures, to display data in a form that can be read directly by other software packages so as to allow readers to manipulate the data for themselves, and to create all relevant links (for example, to PubMed, to sequence and other databases, and to other articles).

Promotion and press coverage

Articles published in IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications are included in article alerts and regular email updates. 
In addition, articles published in IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications may be promoted by press releases to the general or scientific press. These activities increase the exposure and number of accesses for articles published in IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications. 

Copyright

Authors of articles published in IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications retain the copyright of their articles and are free to reproduce and disseminate their work (for further details, see the copyright and license agreement).

Open access publishing is not without costs. IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications therefore levies an article-processing charge of £510.00/$800.00/€650.00 for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable.

If the corresponding author's institution participates in our open access membership program, some or all of the publication cost may be covered (more details available on the membership page). We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.

SpringerOpen provides a free open access funding support service to help authors discover and apply for article processing charge funding.

We are working closely with relevant indexing services including PubMed Central and Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) to ensure that articles published in IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications will be available in their databases when appropriate.

Articles in IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications  should be cited in the same way as articles in a traditional journal. Because articles are not printed, they do not have page numbers; instead, they are given a unique article number.

Article citations follow this format:

Authors: Title. Journal Abbreviation [year], [volume number]:[article number].

e.g. Roberts LD, Hassall DG, Winegar DA, Haselden JN, Nicholls AW, Griffin JL: Increased hepatic oxidative metabolism distinguishes the action of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta from Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma in the Ob/Ob mouse. Diagn Pathol 2009, 1:115.

1:115 refers to article 115 from Volume 1 of the journal.

All manuscripts submitted to IPSJ Transactions on Computer Vision and Applications should adhere to SpringerOpen's editorial policies.
