[D] ICIP 2026 Desk-rejected

Hi all, I’m trying to better understand how IEEE/ICIP authorship standards are interpreted in practice. Our ICIP 2026 submission was desk-rejected after the committee reviewed the author contribution statements. The message said that one or listed authors did not meet IEEE authorship conditions, particularly the requirement of a significant intellectual contribution, and that some of the described contributions were considered appropriate for acknowledgments than authorship. I am not posting to dispute the decision. I understand the decision is final.
