The focus of Archiving 2024 is Science, Sustainability, Security.
2024 PROGRAM TOPICS
Authors are invited to submit a minimum 2-page abstract (not including references and bio) using the Archiving Submission Template as a base (all sections MUST be addressed) for peer-review describing original work in technical areas related to 2D, 3D, and AV materials. Papers may also address business and cost models; collaborations and partnerships; best practices, lessons learned, and case studies. Submissions are welcome in, but not limited to, the following areas:
Digitization / Imaging
- New developments in digitization technologies and workflows
- Advanced imaging techniques and image processing, e.g., multispectral imaging, 3D imaging, software
- Large scale/mass digitization and workflow management systems
- Quality assurance and control of digitization workflow, e.g., data, targets, software, automation, integration
Preservation / Archiving
- Standards and guidelines for secure and sustainable preservation and archiving methods
- Management of metadata, formats, specifications, and systems
- Archival and preservation models and workflows
- Techniques for analyzing and processing collections at scale
Access / Presentation
- Dissemination/use of digitized/imaged materials, e.g., rights management, crowdsourcing, data mining, data visualization
- Deep learning algorithms to improve search results; AI, machine learning, etc.
- Data visualization and automated programming interface
- Open access and open data strategies
- Integration of linked open data and source solutions
Management and Assessment
- Sustainability in archiving and digitization
- Policies, strategies, plans, and risk management; repository assessment
- Work models: adaptation and opportunities in a hybrid model
- Remote collaboration and hybrid work
In recognition of some continued limitations within lab and in-person environments, we will still consider a selection of submissions that may be more focused on significant updates or additions to existing projects or projects in progress; lessons learned are also welcome, including approaches that turned out to be less than optimal (lessons of what not to do).
All papers presented at Archiving 2024 are published Open Access. For reference, papers from past Archiving conferences are published on the IS&T Digital Library/Archiving.

How to Submit
Prospective authors are encouraged to review all the details below, as well as the IS&T Publication Policy.
Authors have the option to submit either a traditional conference paper, which will be published in the Archiving proceedings, or a Journal-first paper, which appears in the journal prior to the meeting start date, and as a reprint in the Archiving proceedings, giving the author a journal citation. Journal-first is available for the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology (JIST) or the Journal of Perceptual Imaging (JPI).
JOURNAL-FIRST PAPER
Submit via: jist.msubmit.net OR jpi.msubmit.net
Submission Deadline: 15 Nov 2023
Submission Format: Standard-length, publication-ready paper
Review Format: Standard journal peer-review
Why Journal-First?
- Gain an Open Access journal citation, plus conference presentation.
- Guaranteed presentation slot if accepted with minor revisions. Papers requiring major revisions may or may not have a speaking slot depending on timing.
- Fast-tracked review.
Visit the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology or the Journal of Perceptual Imaging pages for more details on how to submit to the journal of your choice.
Initial decisions and requests for revision, if required, will be sent to authors by 10 January. Final papers are due by 29 February 2024, following the final decision letter.
Upon acceptance of papers, authors will pay page charges and register for Archiving per the individual journal’s requirements. Rejected papers will be reviewed for possible inclusion in Archiving using the conference submission criteria.

Submission Format: minimum 2-page extended abstract (excluding bio and references) using the Archiving Submission Template (MS Word)
Review Format: Peer-review
REQUIREMENTS
- Extended abstract (minimum 2-pages of content excluding references and bio) describing original work in any technical areas related to the program topics. This may include updates to existing projects or projects in progress, as well as completed projects.
- Only abstracts submitted according to the IS&T guidelines and template will be considered.
- The abstract should clearly explain the technical content, including how the material is new or distinct from previously presented/published work on the same topic, or whether it is an update or addition to previous work. Submission may also include “lessons learned”, approaches that turned out to be less than optimal that can be shared as learning experiences of what not to do. The paper may speculate on how your research ideas will impact the field in the future.
- List primary author and all co-authors with a maximum 50-word bio for each.
- Provide complete contact info (address, phone, e-mail) for the primary author.
- Agree to register for the conference and present the paper during the technical program as scheduled.
- Agree to submit a final paper by 4 March 2024, if accepted. While IS&T encourages 4-6 page proceedings papers, we also accept 1-2 page extended abstracts. Extended abstracts are provided to registrants, but not posted with the Archiving Proceedings in the IS&T Digital Library.
PRESENTATION FORMAT
- Authors may request a 20-minute oral presentation (includes Q&A) or 40-minute interactive poster session presentation format; both are considered of equal value, importance, and merit.
- The interactive poster option enables presenters to engage with other conference delegates and get more feedback during an interactive poster session.
DECISION NOTIFICATION
Final decisions on acceptance and presentation format (oral or interactive poster paper) are at the discretion of the Technical Program Committee. Notices of acceptance will be sent 16 January 2024.
Upon notice of acceptance, authors are sent detailed instructions for submitting the revised 1-2 page extended abstract for inclusion in the final program to registrants, or the full text of the final 4-6 page paper for publication in the conference proceedings, including forms for “transfer of copyright,” which includes CC-BY and government employee options. Please note that each author is responsible for obtaining appropriate clearance as necessary.
Final papers and extended abstracts are due 4 March 2024.
