Journal of Imaging Science & Technology

To provide the imaging community documentation on a broad range of imaging research, development, and applications as a way to promote communication and understanding across the boundaries of the many disciplines involved in modern imaging.

Typical issues include research papers and/or comprehensive reviews from a variety of topical areas. In the spirit of fostering constructive scientific dialog, the Journal accepts Letters to the Editor commenting on previously published articles. Periodically the Journal features a Special Section containing a group of related — usually invited — papers introduced by a Guest Editor. Imaging research topics that have coverage in JIST include:

1. Digital fabrication and biofabrication
2. Digital printing technologies
3. 3D imaging: capture, display, and print
4. Augmented and virtual reality systems
5. Mobile imaging
6. Computational and digital photography
7. Machine vision and learning
8. Data visualization and analysis
9. Image and video quality evaluation
10. Color image science
11. Image archiving, permanence, and security
12. Imaging applications including astronomy, medicine, sports, and autonomous vehicles

JIST is indexed by: SCI and Web of Science, Ebsco, Portico, Crossref, CNPIEC, OCLC, EI Compendex, and others. Five-year impact factor: 0.460.

Original manuscripts not previously published and not currently submitted for publication elsewhere may be submitted for peer-review. Prior publication does not refer to conference abstracts, paper summaries, or non-reviewed proceedings.

Please note: IS&T strongly discourages the use of the Lena (Lenna) image in its publications; authors should use other suitable images to illustrate and compare image processing algorithms. IS&T journals no longer review submissions containing the Lena image without convincing scientific justification for its use.

Please review the Author Guidelines and IS&T Publication Policy before submitting.

Submit via the JIST online submission portal.

In 1990, IS&T merged the Journal of Imaging Science (1985–1989) with the Journal of Imaging Technology (1984–1989) to form the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology (JIST). Articles from JIST since 1997 are available online through the abstract search database.

Prior to JIST, IS&T also published Photographic Science and Engineering (1957–1984) and the Journal of Applied Photographic Engineering (1975–1983). While copies of articles from these older journals are not available online, they may be accessed by contacting IS&T directly at info@imaging.org.

All JIST articles published since January 1996 (Volume 40, No. 1) are available from the IS&T Digital Library at library.imaging.org/jist.
