Each bar is a review window, from submission deadline to decision. Pick a venue to see which earlier venues decide in time for it to cite accepted prior work, and which later venues it can feed into.
| Venue | Submission | Time left | Decision | Conference | Location |
|---|
| Journal | Publisher | Fit | Presentation option |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) | ACM | Top venue, all of graphics | Present at SIGGRAPH or SIGGRAPH Asia |
| IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) | IEEE | Graphics, VR, visualization | Journal-first talks at IEEE VR and IEEE VIS |
| Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) | Wiley / Eurographics | All of graphics | Present at Eurographics |
| Journal of Computer Graphics Techniques (JCGT) | Open access | Practical real-time techniques, encodings, compression; code encouraged | Has had a presentation arrangement with I3D |
| Proceedings of the ACM on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (PACMCGIT) | ACM | Journal of record for I3D, HPG and SCA | Only via those conferences |
| Computers & Graphics | Elsevier | Broad graphics; SMI papers; extended GI and Web3D best papers | SMI |
| Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) | Elsevier | Geometric modeling, curves and surfaces | GMP (special issue) |
| Computer-Aided Design (CAD) | Elsevier | Solid and physical modeling, CAD/CAM | SPM |
| IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) | IEEE | Applied graphics, shorter articles | None by default |
| Graphical Models | Elsevier | Geometry, meshes, geometry compression | None by default |
| The Visual Computer | Springer | Broad graphics; CGI proceedings journal | CGI papers |
Dates marked ≈ are estimates based on the previous year's cycle; check the official call once it appears. Gaps under 21 days are flagged as tight, since you'll want time to update the paper after a decision. If prior work is still under review when you submit, most venues (including SIGGRAPH) let you cite it anonymously and attach it as supplementary material.
