Accepted survey papers will be published in the Journal of Visual Informatics for English manuscripts and Journal of Computer-Aided Design & Computer Graphics for Chinese manuscripts.
Survey papers will be reviewed in a three-stage process: initial two-page sketch, first-round, and second-round reviews. First, authors are required to submit an initial sketch, which briefly describes the planned survey by outlining the topic, provides the planned structure and outline of the survey, and lists all key references. The length of a sketch is limited to two pages. Second, selected sketch authors are invited to submit a full survey paper for the first-round review. A survey paper is conditionally accepted if it is recommended by reviewers, and the authors need to revise the manuscript to address the issues raised by the reviewers and resubmit to journal submission systems. The papers that meet the revision requirements will be formally accepted.
All submissions must be unpublished original work. If the paper has been reviewed and rejected by other international visualization conferences or journals, the authors can attach the past reviews and provide a "Cover Letter" to clarify the improvement of the paper. Each submission will be reviewed anonymously by experts from multiple domains.
The conference uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) system (https://new.precisionconference.com/chinavis) for the review of initial sketches and first-round submissions. Choose "Survey" paper type in the submission form. Authors are required to submit the second-round submissions to Visual Informatics or Journal of Computer-Aided Design and Computer Graphics. Separate instructions will be sent to authors if the paper is conditionally accepted by the first-round review.
Survey papers in English are required to use the Visual Informatics template requirements
(https://www.elsevier.com/authors/author-schemas/latex-instructions).
