8.12.8 Policy on the Acceptance and Rejection of ICASSP Papers

The Technical Program Committee of an ICASSP receives many more abstracts than can be accommodated in the ICASSP program or proceedings. To provide all members the opportunity to present their work, the ASSP Society has adopted the following guidelines for paper selection.

1.
The primary criteria for the selection or rejection of papers for the annual conference shall be the technical merit of the reported work and the expected benefit to the members of the Society of having such a report presented and published. This shall be determined by an evaluation of the abstract and of answers to the background questions posed on the Call-For-Papers.

2.
Rejections may be made only after review by two or more members of the refereeing committee.

3.
Authors are discouraged from submitting more than one paper as first author.

4.
There is to be a one-year moratorium on the acceptance of papers from authors who, having been accepted and scheduled on the program, fail to complete the preparation and presentation of their papers. This provision may be waived by the committee under exceptional circumstances.

5.
Papers may be rejected without review if they are received after the official cutoff date, or do not have all the questions answered completely.

Reviewing committees should adopt additional criteria and procedures which will advance the objectives stated above and publicize them in the Call-for-Papers.
