https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=incob2017
Paper submission deadline: April 28, 2017 (extended from March 15, 2017)
Cover letter for full paper submissions:
All submitting authors are required to submit together with the manuscript a cover letter clearly stating the name of their preferred journal (e.g. BMC Genomics) to the EasyChair website. A second choice may also be listed.
In the cover letter, the corresponding author should provide full contact details: complete mailing address, telephone and fax contact numbers and e-mail address(es). The corresponding author must certify that the work submitted is original and has not been submitted elsewhere for publication. Furthermore, if accepted, the corresponding author must agree to pay in full, the stipulated article processing charges as well as reformat the accepted version of the manuscript in accordance with the journal requirements and upload the final version of the manuscript to EasyChair by the stipulated deadline.
At least one author of any accepted manuscript must register for InCoB2017, duly settle registration fees and make an oral presentation.
The corresponding author should certify that no part of the manuscript has been reproduced from another copyrighted source without permission or proper attribution, or has been inappropriately used, in order to avoid possible plagiarism or self-plagiarism issues. We recommend watching an ACS Publications (American Chemical Society) video ( http://pubs.acs.org/page/publish-research/episode-5.html ).
We further recommend that the authors kindly check the originality of their manuscript using any standard online anti-plagiarism software tool.
Example Template Declaration to be included in the cover letter.
"We, the Authors collectively and individually declare that to our best ability, we have ensured that the submission made herein, including the main paper, supplementary data, deposited data, database entries, software code, does not contain any plagiarized material, content or ideas, and that all necessary attributions have been appropriately made and all copyright permissions obtained, cited and acknowledged."
We reserve the right to return manuscripts that do not correspond with the prescribed format of the selected journal without review.
The cover letter should be uploaded as a PDF, Word or Text file to EasyChair using the File text box in the Upload paper section.

BMC Journals:
BMC Genomics (IF 4.04) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of genome-scale analysis, functional genomics, and proteomics.
[Instructions for authors][Research article][Database][Methodology article][Software]
BMC Medical Genomics (IF 3.91) is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of functional genomics, genome structure, genome-scale population genetics, epigenomics, proteomics, systems analysis, and pharmacogenomics in relation to human health and disease.
[Instructions for authors][Research article][Case report][Database article][Software article][Technical advance][Study protocol]
BMC Systems Biology (IF 2.85) is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in experimental and theoretical aspects of the function of biological systems at the molecular, cellular or organismal level, in particular those addressing the engineering of biological systems, network modeling, quantitative analyses and the integration of different levels of information.
[Instructions for authors][Research article][Database][Methodology article][Software]
BMC Bioinformatics (IF 2.67) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on 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.
[Instructions for authors][Research article][Database][Methodology article][Software]
Please read the descriptions of each of the article types, choose which is appropriate for your work and structure the manuscript accordingly. If in doubt, your manuscript should be formatted as a Research article.
Please create a single PDF file for review using the BMC Microsoft manuscript template (Mac and Windows compatible; Microsoft Word 98/2000) or TeX/LaTeX template, containing the complete manuscript including references, tables and figure legends and all figures (one per page). A ZIP compressed file containing this PDF and additional files, if any should be uploaded to EasyChair, using the attachment upload utility in the upload paper section. Attached is PDF files for the instructions for authors and the article template.
Accepted papers will be collectively published in the respective BMC journal InCoB2017 supplement issue. Article-processing charges (APC) might be discounted, depending on negotiations with BioMed Central. However, for conference supplements, institutional or developing country discounts are not available. The InCoB 2017 organizers will collect APC and transfer them in bulk to BioMed Central. For details and waivers see frequently asked questions about BioMed Central's article-processing charges.
In the rare event of a manuscript being acceptable after review but authors’ choice of journal supplement has exceeded the number of articles we will seek the authors’ consent to transfer the accepted manuscript to another suitable journal supplement.
Other Collaborating Journals
Bioinformatics (regular research papers only accepted by InCoB 2017). The leading journal in its field, Bioinformatics publishes the highest quality scientific papers and review articles of interest to academic and industrial researchers.
