OJSP Paper Presentations

The IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing (OJSP) will provide a special track for submissions of 8+1 pages with the same review timeline as ICASSP. Accepted papers will be published in OJSP and presented at the conference, but will not be included in the conference proceedings.

Published Journal Paper Presentations

Authors of papers published or accepted in IEEE SPS and Eurasip journals may present their work at ICASSP 2026. These papers will not be re-reviewed or included in the proceedings.

Open Preview

Conference proceedings will be available in IEEEXplore, free of charge, to everyone, 30 days prior to the conference start date until its end.
