Paper and Abstract Submission

Submitting authors acknowledge that at least one author of an accepted full paper, abstract, or late-breaking abstract must register for InCoB2010 and duly transmit the registration fee. A single registration can cover only one oral presentation and one abstract presentation (poster, demo or late-breaking submission) of the registrant. Alternatively, one registration can cover two abstracts (two posters or two demos or one poster and one demo) of the registrant.

Submitters of accepted Tutorial Videos who are not attending the conference must register, but are exempt from registration fee payment. In case the submitters plan to attend InCoB2010, registration is required.

A few manuscripts that are not accepted in the BMC supplement may be offered publication in Bioinformation, after suitable reformatting. If authors accept this offer, a manuscript following the Bioinformation Author Guidelines (http://www.bioinformation.net/journal/instructions.htm) should be submitted to EasyChair, using the Attachment text box under the Upload paper section. In this case, authors are also required to pay an APC of USD 200 directly to Bioinformation. Do not submit directly manuscripts meant to be for InCoB2010 Call for Papers to Bioinformation.

BMC Bioinformatics (http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcbioinformatics) considers all aspects of the development, testing and novel application of computational and statistical methods for the modeling and analysis of all kinds of biological data, as well as other areas of computational biology.

Immunome Research (http://www.immunome-research.com/) is integrating cutting edge basic and clinical immunology research, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and mathematical modelling with traditional laboratory research. The journal provides coverage of topics within the field of immunomics, including immunoinformatics, applications of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, personalised medicine and diagnostics relevant to the immune system and its diseases.

• Research: reports of data from original research.
• Database articles: describe a new database or a substantial improvement of an existing database.
• Methodology articles: present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method.
• Short reports: brief reports of data from original research.
• Software articles: describe the source code for software applications, tools or algorithm implementations. Typically, an archive of the source code of the current version of the software should be included with the submitted manuscript as a supplementary file.

Instructions for Immunome Research authors (http://www.immunome-research.com/info/instructions/): Please create a single zip file for review containing the complete manuscript including references, tables and figure legends and all figures (one per page) using the Immunome Research manuscript template (http://biomedcentral.com/download/templates/BMC153d.dot Mac and Windows compatible; Microsoft Word 98/2000). A zip file containing this PDF and additional files, if any should be uploaded to EasyChair, using the Attachment text box in the Upload paper section.

Upon acceptance papers will be published in the regular issue. Authors are required to settle APC directly with Immunome Research. The journal charges a flat fee of 995 GBP (approx. 145,000 JPY) for each accepted manuscript. There is a surcharge of 50 GBP (approx. 7,300 JPY) for any payments for individual articles that are not made by credit card.

As such, the APBioNet secretariat has been working with the National University of Singapore and the Asian Bioinformation Centers (ABCs) to design and operate an alpha test site aid.apbionet.org anddocid.apbionet.org to provide the infrastructure for author registration and document deposition, including deposition of datasets and software described or used in a scientific publication. APBioNet secretariat is currently working with InCoB2009 authors of papers accepted for publication in BMC Bioinformatics/Genomics and Bioinformation special conference supplements in a post-publication process to test drive the document/dataset/database/software submission process as well as the author identification registry. It is hoped that this mechanism will provide the basis for a minimum information standard to be implemented for the paper submission process for InCoB2010, either via a pre-submission or post-publication.

The process is being under negotiation with the InCoB steering committee, organizers and editors of InCoB2010. Compliance to a MIABi standard requires more than author identification and data submission. Editors and reviewers will need to be updated on the requirements for MIABi. More information about a comprehensive MIABi compliance will be circulated for discussion soon. The level of compliance required for InCoB 2010 submissions will be announced as soon as negotiations with newly appointed editors are completed.

Each templates contains an abstract page and a teaser page. The teaser page content will incorporated in the program booklet. Authors have up to 30 words for a scientific statement other than the title to attract attendees to their poster or demonstration. Example of 23-word teaser: Flux balance analyses of XXX cells revealed increased epistasis among housekeeping genes. However, functionally related genes did not show an increase in interactions.

The presenting/corresponding authors acknowledged that the work described in the abstract has not been published/accepted elsewhere prior to June 7, 2010. If the abstract has been published or accepted for publication elsewhere before the submission deadline of June 7, 2010, the authors must give at the end of the abstract the following information: Name of publication, website (if applicable), date and comments (e.g. differences between the two abstract).

Prior to submission all abstract authors must confirm they have read, understand and agree to the abstract submission rules and guidelines. The presenting/corresponding author confirms that each co-author has been informed of the abstract submission and has agreed to all information as it was submitted. At least one author of accepted abstracts must register for InCoB2010, duly settle registration fees and present the poster or give the demonstration.

The Late-breaking Abstract Template is available at http://incob10.hgc.jp/publicity/Latebreaking_Abstract_Template.doc

A few short oral or poster presentations slots are available and will be allocated at the discretion of scientific Program Committee. Decision criteria are the impact of the work on the field, the likelihood that the study would be of interest to the InCoB audience and the relevance of the research to bioinformatics and application to biological and biomedical sciences. Presenters must register for InCoB2010 and duly settle registration fees.
