With an international Editorial Board and a fast track submission scheme, the JIDM effort produced very good results in terms of the quality of the accepted papers, but considerably reduced the number of submissions to SBBD, particularly those by younger authors.
InCoB2010 provided multi-track submissions, with the inclusion of late breaking abstracts from recent publications and for showcasing technology developments.
We thank all members of the conference advisory committee, steering committee, and program committee and the anonymous volunteers who served to review procedings and highlights track submissions.
InCoB2009 also provided multi-track submissions, with the inclusion of research highlights from recent publications and for showcasing technology developments along with posters.
JCC conceived and organized the studies, conducted EST data analysis, tracking and submission, data interpretation, and finalized the figures and written manuscript.
This work emphasizes the importance of metadata tracking and submission in a standardized and enforced fashion and highlights the limitations of resources such as NCBI and GBIF as well as the biased sampling throughout the years, which limits an unbiased understanding of bacterial biodiversity and geographical abundance.
Several groups have been tracking the submissions.
It tracked the submission of online essays for end-of-term assignments for two modules: one from the first-year, the other the third-year (no students were included in both groups).
Submitters also have an interface where they can track a submission's progress.
GIW/InCoB2015 offered authors of original research papers a choice of seven journal tracks for submission: BMC Genomics, BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Systems Biology, BMC Medical Genomics, Bioinformatics, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, and the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
