The review process for this conference consists of two rounds. Each submission will be anonymously reviewed by multiple experts in the field. The first round of reviews will be conducted using the Precision Conference System (PCS), and conditionally accepted papers from the first round will be recommended to the corresponding journals. The second round of reviews will be conducted using the submission system of the recommended journals. Before the second round of submission, authors must revise their papers according to the feedback from the first round of reviews.

All submissions must be in PDF format. To better demonstrate the dynamic operation and workflow of interactive visualization systems, it is recommended to submit additional materials such as screen recording videos. All submissions must be original and unpublished work, and simultaneous submissions to other venues are not allowed. If the paper has previously been reviewed by other international or domestic visualization conferences or journals and was not accepted, the authors may submit the revised paper along with the previous review comments and provide a "Cover Letter" explaining the improvements made.

For any questions related to paper submissions, please contact: chinavispaper@163.com.
