Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI) Special Issue on Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics
*** Apologies for cross-posting ***
Call for Papers: Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics
This Special Issue aims to highlight the development of novel informatics methods for *retrieval, indexing, and analysis of biomedical literature, focusing on semantics-based techniques*. We invite researchers working in biomedical informatics, knowledge representation/ontologies, information retrieval, natural language processing, artificial intelligence/machine learning, data mining, and other related areas to submit clear and detailed descriptions of their novel methodological results.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Knowledge representation and semantics for biomedical literature retrieval - Biomedical ontologies in search - Biomedical knowledge source integration - Biomedical knowledge graph construction and embeddings - Knowledge graphs in biomedical search - Semantic knowledge in biomedical literature classification and ranking - Biomedical information extraction - Entity linking and semantic annotation in biomedical texts - Literature-based knowledge discovery - Semantics for biomedical knowledge synthesis and systematic literature review
All submitted papers must be original and will go through a rigorous peer-review process with at least two reviewers. Papers previously published in conference proceedings will not be considered. JBI’s editorial policy will be strictly followed by special issue reviewers. Note in particular that JBI emphasizes the publication of papers that introduce innovative and generalizable methods of interest to the informatics community. Specific applications can be described to motivate the methodology being introduced, but papers that focus solely on a specific application are not suitable for JBI.
*Submission Guidelines*
Authors must submit their papers via the online Editorial Manager (EES) at http://ees.elsevier.com/jbihttps://www.editorialmanager.com/jbi https://ees.elsevier.com/jbi. Authors should select “Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics” as their submission category and note in a cover letter that their submission is for the “*Special Issue on Semantics-enabled Biomedical Literature Analytics.*” If the manuscript is not intended as an original research paper, the cover letter should also specify if it is, rather, a *Methodological Review, Commentary, or Special Communication*. Authors should make sure to place their work in the context of human-focused biomedical research or health care, and to review carefully the relevant literature.
JBI’s editorial policy, and the types of articles that the journal publishes, are outlined under *Aims and Scope *on the journal home page at https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-biomedical-informatics https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-biomedical-informatics(click on “View full Aims and Scope” for details). All submissions should follow the guidelines for authors at https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical-%20informatics/1532-0464/guide-for-authors*https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical- informatics/1532-0464/guide-for-authors https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-ofbiomedical-%20informatics/1532-0464/guide-for-authors*, including format and manuscript structure.
*Important Dates*
Deadline for submissions: November 15, 2022
First-round review decisions: January 15, 2023
Deadline for revision submissions: February 15, 2023
Notification of final decisions: April 15, 2023
