Authors of accepted full papers will be asked to submit a final paper that will be published in either the ISPRS Archives or the ISPRS Annals, depending on the outcome of the review process. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register for the Congress and attend to give their presentation. The papers of authors who fail to present their work at the Congress may be removed from the Annals or Archives.

According to the ISPRS Announcement
The ISPRS Archives and the ISPRS Annals are listed in the ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) of the Web of Science, SCOPUS, the E/I Compendex, and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
The publication costs for each ISPRS Archives volume and each ISPRS Annals volume are covered by the Congress. Therefore, authors do not have to pay article processing charges. The ISPRS Archives and the ISPRS Annals are open access publications, they are published under the Creative Common Attribution 3.0 (4.0 since June 2017) License.
Review Process
All paper submissions to an Thematic Session will be subjected to the Congress deadlines and the ISPRS review process. Details of the review process is given in the ISPRS Announcement The below is an excerpt from that document.
Abstracts and full-length papers submitted to the Congress will be subjected to the ISPRS review process, a summary of which is provided herein. Authors should consult the following publication for complete details: isprs-annals.copernicus.org/articles/IV5/53/2018/.
Each of the five Technical Commission Presidents is known as Program Chair (PC). Following an initial check, the PC assigns each submitted abstract or paper to an Area Chair (AC). ISPRS Working Group officers, Thematic Session Chairs, and other external experts serve as ACs. The AC also checks the submission and invites reviewers to provide an evaluation. Upon receiving the reviews, the AC makes one of the following recommendations to the PC:
Accepted for publication in the ISPRS Annals: full papers that were judged as the highest quality. Revisions to the paper may be required.
Accepted for publication in the ISPRS Archives: full papers not accepted for the ISPRS Annals but still deemed worthy of inclusion in the scientific program. Revisions may be required for the submitted full-length paper.
Accepted for publication in the ISPRS Archives: extended abstracts that were judged to be of high quality. A full-length paper for which reviewer comments on the abstract have been addressed can be submitted.
Extended abstracts accepted for presentation without publication of a fulllength paper.
Rejected: full papers or abstracts that are not of sufficient quality.
The PC checks the recommendation and makes the final decision and recommends the presentation mode. The PCs are also responsible for checking that final paper submissions conform to the ISPRS template. The CSRS Technical Program Chair will coordinate the review process for submissions to CSRS Invited Sessions, the Applied Sessions (ISPRS and CRSS-SCT) and the Student Oral Paper and Poster Paper Awards at the Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing competition.
The Scientific Chair (SC) oversees the entire process and builds the scientific program in consultation with the PCs and the CSRS Technical Program Chair.
