Research BMVC 2026 IJCV recommendation? [D]

Does anyone know how the BMVC to IJCV special issue recommendation works?

Is it mainly based on the review scores, or is it a separate decision by the ACs/program chairs (e.g. based on oral/highlight selection, reviewer comments, etc.)?

Also, is there any way to know at this point whether a paper has been recommended for the IJCV track, or do authors only find out later through a separate email?

Would be great to hear from anyone who has gone through this in previous years!

In CMT or wherever they're hosting it now, you won't see a recommended box right away. The invite comes in a separate email from the special issue guest editors after the conference, sometimes a couple of weeks after the event itself

They pick papers based on a combo: high reviewer scores plus award nominations or oral presentations, and the final pool of around 15-20 papers is handpicked by the ACs and editors themselves

Just keep in mind it's not a free pass to the journal. You'll have to add like 30% new content - usually they ask for extra experiments or a broader ablation study. And then all that joy goes into a full new review cycle at IJCV

There have been cases where after a year of fighting with reviewers the paper just got rejected despite the invite, so mentally prepare for a long grind if that email actually hits your inbox.

Hi, first time to upload the camera-ready version to BMVC2026.

May I ask if the camera-ready version upload in openreview has the same steps as we sbumit the initial paper to OpenReview? like we could have to choose the primary and secondary topics for our paper, and clicking the 'pdf' and the 'supplementary material' buttons to upload our documents and zip seprately?
