Aims & Scope

Aims

Journal of Imaging (ISSN 2313-433X) is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes reviews, original research articles, communications, and technical notes covering all areas of imaging research. There is no restriction on the maximum length of papers.

This journal aims to provide an advanced forum for research on all aspects of imaging, including image acquisition, processing, and understanding. We welcome studies presenting new techniques, procedures, methods, applications, and advances in these areas. Scientists and engineers working in imaging or in fields that use imaging techniques are encouraged to publish their theoretical and experimental findings in sufficient detail to support reproducibility. Authors are encouraged to make the datasets and any source code developed for the study publicly available, subject to applicable permissions and restrictions. Any third-party software used in the study, whether open-source or proprietary, must be appropriately identified and referenced.
