ISSCC 2026 CALL FOR PAPERS

***IMPORTANT SUBMISSION UPDATES & INFORMATION***

Please note the following important submission updates and highlights.

(1) (NEW) Manuscript text maximum character count extended to 11,000 characters, including spaces.

(2) (NEW) Submissions with a clear blind-review violation will be penalized during the Paper Selection. This penalty affects the paper acceptance as well as consideration for awards and the JSSC Special Issue invitation.

(3) Make sure that ALL related work is sufficiently referenced, including your own. Failure to reference your own related work negatively affects the paper-review quality and may result in a rejection of an initial “conditionally accepted paper” during the Pre-Publication Check after the Paper Selection.

(4) (NEW) Notifying Program Committee members outside of your organization of your submission is a direct violation of the double-blind-review policy and results in an immediate rejection of your paper.

(5) (NEW) Authors will be notified of acceptance by October 15, 2025, representing a 1-week delay from previous years to allow a thorough Pre-Publication Check and follow up on any author clarifying questions from the Paper Selection. Program Committee members are strictly prohibited from sharing any information to authors about the paper status prior to the official notification date.
