CAMDA Challenges 2020

Submission

Please submit your research by 25 May, and clearly indicate the presenting author. Extended abstracts are limited to 3-5 pages.

Submission Options

  1. Full methods research papers can be submitted to the regular ISMB Proceedings Track by 30 Jan, specifying CAMDA as intended target audience.
  2. To present late breaking methods research or analyses of the CAMDA challenge data sets you need to submit an Extended abstract by the CAMDA submission deadline 25 May. Extended abstracts should include preliminary key results and figures. Based on the extended abstract, the scientific committee selects teams to present their work at the CAMDA conference, where updated results need to be shown.
  3. Paper or abstract submissions that could not be accepted for a talk presentation can be shown as posters.
  4. Work can directly be submitted for poster presentation.

If you submit an extended abstract, you are invited to further update and revise your manuscript after the conference, with full research papers due in October. Full research papers are published subject to fast-track peer review in a special CAMDA proceedings issue of the fully indexed, open access Biology Direct journal.

ISMB requires poster submission fees for late / non-member submissions, so please consider submitting poster abstracts early. Please clearly indicate if you would like a submitted full paper or extended abstract to automatically be considered as a submission for poster presentation if we cannot offer a conference talk, which will count as an early submission.

Submission Requirements

Please talk to us if you have any questions regarding the Submission or individual challenges - see the CAMDA forums listed at the bottom of the pages About CAMDA.
