Welcome to the GIW XXXI/ISCB-Asia V conference website. As the name suggests this is a joint conference between GIW and ISCB-Asia. The conference will be held from Dec. 12 to 14, 2022 in Tainan, Taiwan.
Ex post facto note: Despite some uncertainty due to Covid-19, the conference was successfully held in-person.
GIW
GIW, also known as the International Conference on Genome Informatics started more than 30 years ago as the Genome Informatics Workshop in Japan where it was held several years before becoming an international conference. The scope of GIW covers all areas of bioinformatics and medical informatics; traditionally with some emphasis on the application of computer science theoretical methods to genome informatics.
ISCB-Asia
ISCB-Asia is one of the regional conferences which ISCB holds to promote computational biology research and communication throughout the world. To date most ISCB-Asia conferences have been collaborative efforts, with ISCB contributing a global perspective to the vibrant regional communities in Asia.
This year ISCB-Asia will collaborate for the second time with GIW, hopefully topping the very well received GIW/ISCB-Asia held in Tokyo in 2014.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
Full Papers in both theoretical and application oriented research
This call is for original research. Submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed for oral presentation at the conference. Any co-author (registered for the conference) can present an accepted submission. A person may be co-author of multiple submissions,but can only present one of them.
We will also recommend those manuscripts for publication in one of the journals listed below. Which journal depends on the nature and strength of the manuscript. Authors are encouraged to let us know their preferences and may opt-out if unhappy with our recommendation. Publication charges vary by journal and are the responsibility of the author
The appropiate length depends on the nature of the manuscript, but we expect 4-8 pages to be appropriate in most cases.
Based on past experience, we expect that most research presented at the conference will be published within a few months of the conference. But please be aware that journals reserve the right to do further review or even reject recommended manuscripts.
Journals which have agreed to work with us include:
- Bioinformatics
- Bioinformatics Advances
- Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
- BMC Bioinformatics
- GigaScience
- GigaByte
Bioinformatics and GigaScience are highly competitive, so at most only a few manuscripts will be published in those journals. The Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, and BMC Bioinformatics, are well established journals which have published many articles from GIW and ISCB-Asia in the past. Bioinformatics Advances and GigaByte are new journals with strong organizational support. We believe they have a bright future.
Regarding the posting of submitted manuscripts as preprints to bioRxiv or similar, please refer to the policy of the journal you hope to publish in.
Submission Deadline: Aug 19, 2022 (any timezone).
Highlight Talks and Posters information coming soon.
