Abstract Length & Guidelines
The conference committee will only consider abstracts addressing topics of substantial current interest, in accordance with the scope of the conference. The abstract must present an overview of recent and/or original work, and must not be “in the same format” under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The abstract should be between 2 to 4 pages in length, including all figures and references. `Overlength’ submissions will NOT be reviewed. This includes papers where the margins and formatting are deemed to have been significantly altered from those laid down by the style guide and templates provided. Pay particular attention to formatting instructions if you are using the MS Word template!
CMBE Policy On Submission & Acceptance
Single-blind review: CMBE operates a single-blind peer review process, where papers are reviewed by members of the committees and session (mini-symposia) organisers. The conference chairs and permanent editorial board reserve the right of final decision on the acceptance or rejection of papers. Please also refer to CMBE Publishing Policy.
All accepted contributions which are submitted by the camera-ready submission deadline will be published in the CMBE proceedings in both print and electronic format (see CMBE Proceedings), on the understanding that one of the authors has registered before the early bird registration deadline. Final acceptance of papers for presentation is thus conditional on one of the authors registering on or before the early bird registration deadline. Authors will be invited to submit full-length papers to a special issue of the Wiley journal ‘International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering’.
Unless otherwise stated, submissions are limited to ONE paper per registered participant (first or presenting author). Registrants can however be co-authors on several papers. If you wish to submit more than one paper for presentation (first or presenting author), please get in touch with us for extra paper fees.
The conference will be in English and all papers should be prepared in English.
