Call for Proceedings - ISMB 2012
Proceedings Chair: Bonnie Berger, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Cambridge, United States**Call for Proceedings
Submission Site** Closes January 13, 2012
ISMB 2012 will bring together Bioinformaticians and
Computational Biologists working in a wide range of
disciplines,
including molecular biology, biology, medicine, computer
science,
mathematics and statistics. Papers that demonstrate both the
development of new computational techniques AND their
application to Molecular and Systems Biology, with
significant
outcomes to biomedical, agricultural, and environmental
questions are especially encouraged.

Submission Guidelines
Papers will be assigned to an Area and three reviews
sought. Papers may be moved between areas as appropriate -
this is often necessary for load balance and fit between
areas
during the review process. Accepted papers will be published
as
conference proceedings in an open access, online-only,
section
of a regular issue of the Bioinformatics journal with an
electronic
version distributed to conference delegates. The proceedings
will
be available online approximately one month prior to the
conference opening.
Publication of the proceedings as an online part of the
Bioinformatics journal will result in fully citable articles,
indexed
by Medline and ISI. See the conference proceedings
forISMB/ECCB 2011 for an example of online-only publication
by Oxford University Press.
ISMB 2012 will accept a maximum of 32 Proceedings Track papers
and authors of
accepted papers will be given a 20-minute time slot (plus 5
minutes for questions) in the conference schedule to provide
an
oral summary of their work.
Papers can be submitted in either a template-free format or
in
the format following the template for author submission to the
OUP
journal bioinformatics. If the OUP template is used the
paper
length must not exceed nine pages. If the template-free format
is
used the length of the paper must not exceed 12 pages
(single
space, 12 point font), including abstract, figures, tables,
and
bibliography. In either case, the paper must contain an
abstract
whose length does not exceed 250 words.
After acceptance papers will have to be formatted according
to
the layout style required by the OUP bioinformatics journal
and
will be limited to 9 pages. Formatting requirements can be
found
at:http://www.oxfordjournals.org/bioinformatics/for_authors/subm
ission_online.html
If absolutely necessary, submissions can be accompanied by
supplementary material, similar to submissions to scientific
journals. The supplementary material should be collected in
a
separate file that is appropriately marked and uploaded as
an
attachment on the paper submission page in EasyChair.
However, we advise against adding supplementary material, in
general. Supplementary material will be published on the
proceedings site alongside the online version of the
conference
paper. We do not support supplementary material presented at
any other than the publisher's site. Additionally, OUP does
not
edit or typeset supplementary data - it is uploaded online
exactly
as it is received, so authors must ensure its accuracy
before
submitting.
Papers should be submitted in their final form since the
evaluation procedure does not allow for additional rounds of
refinement / modification in response to referee criticisms.
Poor
quality submissions or insufficiently prepared papers are
very
often rejected. Paper presenters must register and pay to
attend
and present at the conference.
PAPERS NOT CONFORMING TO THESE GUIDELINES WILL
BE RETURNED WITHOUT REVIEW.
Papers submitted for review should represent original,
previously
unpublished work. At the time the paper is submitted to ISMB
2012, and for the entire review period, the paper should not
be
under review by any other conference or scientific journal.
Papers will be accepted electronically, in PDF format only,
at
thesubmission siteuntil Friday, January 13, 2012. (You have
until 11.59 p.m. in the time zone of your choice. This means
that
the submission server will be closed at noon, 11:59 am GMT
(UTC+0), January 14, 2012).
Notification of conditional acceptance will be provided by
e-mail
no later than Friday, March 16, 2012. Final, corrected
versions
of accepted papers, which must conform to the formatting
guidelines available when the paper is accepted, are due no
later
than March 30, 2012. Details of the submission process and
format of accepted papers will be provided at the time of
paper
acceptance.
Papers not accepted may be resubmitted as a "regular
conference poster" until Friday, March 16, 2011 or as a
"late
conference poster" until Friday, April 20, 2012. Poster
information is availablehere.
