Paper Submission

Participation in IGARSS 2025 is open to all individuals interested in or working in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing. Technical sessions will be comprised of papers submitted to a common topic. There is a list of general topics categorized by technology, techniques, and applications. In addition to the general sessions, there are Community Contributed Session (CCS) topics. These CCSs were contributed by members of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and were selected for inclusion in the technical programs for IGARSS 2025 based upon an open call in October 2024. They are meant to be complementary to the general topic sessions highlighting new and emerging topics. Both the general sessions and the CCSs are open for submission by all authors.

Manuscripts received by the deadline will be considered for program placement under the standard peer review process. The IEEE IGARSS 2025 Technical Program Committee will organize all accepted submissions into either oral or interactive poster sessions based upon their potential contribution to the symposium and the composition of high-quality sessions.

The entire submission process and requirements are detailed in the Paper Kit.

NEW for IGARSS 2025 Submission Options

1. Full paper - required for inclusion in IEEE Xplore or consideration for a student award
2. Abstract only - no option to convert to full paper and publish in IEEE Xplore
3. Recently published article - must have a publication date after January 1, 2024.

All submissions will undergo a peer-review process. Accepted full papers will be included in the conference proceedings and published in IEEE Xplore, ensuring high visibility and impact.

Each accepted submission must be linked to at least one registered author, with the payment received by the author registration deadline to avoid being withdrawn from the conference. A maximum of two accepted submissions can be linked to one full registration for both general and community contributed sessions. A student registration can be linked with up to one submission.

Authors are responsible for checking the status of their submission by visiting the symposium website after 15 March 2025. Acceptance letters will be sent via email only, and the results posted on the website.
